HT7333 Voltage Regulator
This week I'll put the HT7333 voltage regulator into a circuit. I chose these for an IoT project centred around the ESP8266, which needs an input of ~3.0-3.6V. At the time I was using either 6V lantern batteries or 3xAA (4.5V) batteries which (I'm not convinced now that it is the best option as it can only output around 250mA - and often the ESP8266 needs a little more beef. I've tacked on a 1000μF or a 2000μF capacitor sometimes to act as a backup for this situation when the ESP8266 wants to connect to the internet - but now I get a bit worried about losses through capacitor leakage.
