I thought about using a switcher to control this, but all the circuits I saw for this look huge. Granted, I did a search with Texas instruments power supply configurator. |

Some regulators are not much bigger than mosfet transistor+driver needed for PWM. Just an example: |

I just looked at the amount of components and the area spec it gives. Perhaps they do a bad at conveying this? Edit.....my tec is 24V and my supply is 24V.... |

If you forgot to include the area of your existing filter, it may look overly significant... :) Tim |
