I have a transformer which is rated at 12V AC, 1A
I'd like to turn that into 5V at up to 2A, or a little less than 2A if there's not enough margin.
What's the best switching regulator chip to use with easily available peripheral components? And preferably in a DIP package.
This is a one time build so I don't need super low cost.
I'm not unable to search google, digikey etc myself but it often happens that someone here will suggest a better device.
