5 VDC supply from PCM? I'm in the process of adding several 5VDC pressure transducers (~10mA each) and would like to avoid adding a DC-DC converter if possible. Does anyone know if 5VDC is available from the PCM, and if so is it stable? thanks

There are several 5V reference outputs but I agree
you probably don't want to be adding load to them.
A LM7805K type linear regulator will give you an amp
with adequate heat sinking, dead simple, reasonably
good tolerances and pretty cheap.
