#45893 - You get that with linear regulators Responding to: ???'s previous message |
"IS THIS COMMON THAT 7805 HEATS UP"
Yes - this is the very nature of a linear regulator! A linear regulator works by disippating the the excess power as heat - so the only way to reduce the heating is to reduce the excess power! |
