Can I connect two 7805 regulators in parallel to increase the current?
Basically I need to supply 5v voltage (800mA) to a device and a 5v supply (800mA) to another device. It could be done with two regulators but the problem is that the two devices are connected to a common bus where there is only one VCC.
I have found this page High Current Voltage Regulation - Electric Circuit
but I would like to know if these circuits will work.
Also can I combine these?
