"to my surprise I can draw up to 1.5 Amp with no heating"
That shouldn't surprise you - it's not current per se that causes the heating; it's power The "LD" in "LDO" stands for "Low-Dropout" - ie, there's only a small input-output voltage differential across the device. Hence only a small power dissipation. No surprise. |
