How can I stabilize a 12V input to a 12V stabilized output voltage?
I have a battery that supplies 12V but not regulated and a device that uses 12V regulated, how can I supply power to that device using thus battery?
EDIT
I just searched on the subject a bit more and found a part called a "zener diode" it seems from a quick reading on Wikipedia to do what I want, make an unclean 12V to a regulated 12V. but I'm not sure. Can someone please clarify if this is in fact what I want?
My "needs":
12V @1A from a ~12V lead acid battery - can go down to 8V - to an XBOX Kinect.
Answer
This looks like a good target for a SEPIC or Buck boost converter, which can allow an output voltage higher, lower or the same as the input voltage
Zener diode only limits the voltage. If the output is 11.6V, the zener diode will not do anything.
You didn't specify your current requirement, so its hard to give you a part as a starting point.
