#45898 - RE: You get that with linear regulators Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I used MICREL MIC2940A LDO, to my surprise I can draw up to 1.5 Amp with no heating what so ever. Infact it was a surface mount package, I read the datasheet and they say it is linear regulator, I wonder how they dissipate the excess power?
