I bought some DC-DC stepdown voltage regulators (LM2596), for little more than $1.00 apiece, and they seem to provide remarkably stable load regulation. My question is as follows. I know that you can't hook two non-switching step-down regulators (like the 7805) in parallel, but is there a good reason that I couldn't do that using the LM2596, if I adjust the two simultaneously for the same output. It would seem that any little imbalance between them would be compensated for by their switching rates.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
