[time-nuts] Parallel voltage regulators

[Poul-Henning Kamp]

Considering the efficiency and easy availability of switchmode
supplies these days, I would never bother with a linear regulator
in a new design.

For instance national has a series of switch mode regulators (LM25xx)
which just requires a coil and a diode more than the usual LM78xx
types.

If you are worried about noise from the swichmode, you can add more
filtering to the output.
