Centaur is a high current single low noise single linear power supply - suitable for B3SEPro or other projects with current demands up to 2.5A. It gets its name from the Centaur rocket motor.

It has larger input smoothing capactor (15,000uF) and a higher current/lower noise regulator (LM350) than the LCDPS it is designed to replace. It was designed to better cope with the higher current demands of the Buffalo-IIIpro DACs, but can also be used for other projects, such as the Beagel Bone Black ad Raspberry Pi.

For most applications requiring 3.3-5VDC, we recommend powering the Centaur with a transformer in the 7V to 9V output range, such as our 9V+9V transformer (available here).
