This is not something I would understand or expect from the naming here. I would expect the difference between a regulator and a switch to be that the switch does no regulation, such things are fairly common in system design for example as part of the logic that switches between the different input power supplies available to the system to provide the root system power rail. --orgrmsuxr2d35bvt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAlhULpwACgkQJNaLcl1U h9AnWwf/XX5h03CDR4edqlk3mhAIljuoQQTtyfkCJN+eRLOVsgVrkLnp9Lz8KaEW Qk9iIvTCeRtPySnGlV3+gi0eqhu9ko6BBj1zWtfJXRwSTwD1/4IAAMBLScHXPHMR Vw3B4jc+SZugiawCoRCRKlBjmPAZTmtE2zV7qxbKJBH05tDOvP9CaOH+uTSaO7z/ RnobzeludzQsqJcRQ59vwBzaukW7pFaMs11ITONJUdU8pOaKp78rcA/I5lJVuEZs Kgbm36AjUNXqyPDhrNzai/IECvYkeSpOtQ1Pw83S3MhF+t0yHc7A5myaPSveVp15 i2gt9p0KP5rNJhSefIVr7PM+hajcXw== =I63a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --orgrmsuxr2d35bvt--
