Just be aware that if you're starting with 12V VIN then the regulator is going to dissipate roughly 5W with 700mA out (from your other thread).I wish I had seen the LM1084 before; it can handle 5V up to 5A
Pd = (12V-5V) x 0.7 = 4.9W
That's going to get quite hot... over 100degC rise depending on the package type.
