Current recommended
The current recommended voltage regulator is a L200.
- Digikey: 497-1382-5-ND ($1.92 USD each when purchased individually)
- datasheet (pdf)
- application notes (pdf)
Benefits
- can handle up to 60V, which is around the surge you'd expect when you start up a human-powered source (for instance, the spike from a bike-power generator when you start to pedal)
Open questions
- what is its behavior at spikes over 60V? constant input?
