For lower currents, LP2951 isn't bad - 30V and 75uA Iq, but only 100mA out --- End quote --- There's a couple of 5V to 24V DCDC bricks that run off it, so it does need at least 400mA. But yeah, I just picked 1A to give it some extra room. The 7805 used now does get very warm, but it's on a large 6 layer 3oz pcb, so isn't really a problem. I think the solution is to split the power rails up a bit. Have a lower current reg to run the MCU that has low quiescent and then a pfet to switch on a 7805 that controls everything else. I was more just curious why there wasn't a cheap drop in 7805 replacement with much lower quiescent. Given the 7805 is very old tech. |

If I understand it correctly, you are ultimately generating multiple 24V rail and a 5V rail, from a 12V automotive system. Why not generate both the 24V and 5V from the 12V rail? |

The isolated 5V-12V DCDC bricks input range was too narrow for automotive 12V |
