None of the voltage regulators work properly above about 20V if you want 5V out. If you need to drop more, add a preregulator. I found this out the hard way as well dropping 28V to 5V DC for logic in an RF PA driver. Currently waiting for a board spin. I only needed 50mA and didn't want RF noise so I went with a simple MOSFET/zener/resistor preregulator to drop it down to 18Vish. Because the current requirements are relatively low I don't need to heatsink either then as the load is spread evenly across both MOSFET and 7805. Edit: also if you value the circuit it's driving, stick a 5W 5.6V zener across the regulator output. That will smoke the prereg / regulator not the load! |
