quadzillatech:
hi all,im trying to find a simple way to get 5v at 1300ma from a 7805 any ideas?,cheers m3vuv.
Benta:
Use a 78S05 (ST).
quadzillatech:
maybe i should of said,i can get 1.5 amp from a 7805,the issue is it cant go over 1.3amp max,its how to limit the current to that im stuggling with.

There's no way to get 5V at 1.3A into any load, due to Ohm's law.

You need to have two modes: constant current and constant voltage.

The LM7805 isn't guaranteed to output any more than 1A, but will most likely give 2.2A peak.

The only way to set the current something else is to add transistor and a sense resistor before the LM7805. If a very accurate current limit is required, then you'll need a voltage reference and op-amp, as well. The downsides are it increases the drop-out voltage, as well as requiring more components.
