Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

The 2A wall adapter was a quick fix to be able to continue testing.

The 9V 2A is holding up for now.

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

That's what I said in the second part about getting more than 2A out.

You can't get 5A out if the adapter can only supply 2A

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

Noname chinese rubbish... They don't even have the proper distances or creapage on the PCB...

Prefer good brands like Mean Well or Sunny.

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

Not so tumbelweed.

With Linear regulators, your Input current is the same with the output current! Beware of that! Plus the current of the regulator of course, though this is small enough.

The...

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

The only difference between the LM1084-ADJ and the fixed output LM1084-5 is the latter already has the resistors to set the output voltage built inside it. You will only get 5A out of it if you have...

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

chinese amps are quite a bit smaller than normal ones. 0.75 seems close

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

I just noticed the LM1084-ADJ is claimed to "provide 5 A at high efficiencies and very low drop-out." I just ordered a few from Digikey.

Ioannis, will the TPS565208 or TPS56339 voltage drop when...

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range

Yes, all of these SMPS do have that high frequency transformer and do isolate the secondary. Few have poor isolation.

Many have bad fuses in the line input and they blow after the explosion of low...
