You people with the off topic messages. What are you, toddlers in nursery school? Please quit ruining the Google group for everyone.

&nbsp;Now you have made yourself look ignorant, which you are, otherwise you would not have ask the question. &nbsp;Say your device needs 9V and you have a 12V source. At some point in time you measure the current your device draws and it is 20ma, so you decide you need a series 150 ohm resistor.&nbsp; You have it all figured out. Then at some point it fails to work. At some point the motor in this device (the one you didn't explain ) turns on and the voltage drops to 4 volts causing the circuit to fail to operate. &nbsp;Do you want to calculate the capacitance needed to keep you supply voltage within 5% of your required 9v? Or do you want to just admit it is a big ass cap and a regulator may be better. On the other hand you could give us details of the circuit, so it would not be a guessing game. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mikek -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
As discussed in the design group thread, a low dropout regulator looks good.

I'm easy.

I see you keep posting all the header information, what is the purpose of that? I don't know enough about it to glean anything from it, what are you getting from it? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mikek -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

That appears to be Mr Doe's signal that he has switched into troll mode. If you read through the first few posts in this thread, you'll see that Mr Doe is indeed quite capable of proper quoting. But once he appears to get ticked off, he toggles into troll mode and starts quoting excessive header information (and top posting as well). He seems to have a very Dr. Jeckyl/Mr. Hyde aspect to his postings.

But that takes extra effort on his part, what is his purpose in doing it? He's trying to accomplish something with the action. John Doe, what's up? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mikek -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
What part of "I'm easy" don't you understand?
