There are three versions of the Analog Breakout. The 2009 version can supply 3 amps and uses a switching regulator. The 2010-2013 version uses a linear regulator and can supply 0.25 amps continuously. The 2014 version also uses a linear regulator and can supply 0.25 amps continuously (and doesn't require the battery voltage jumper to comply with R70).
