Hi Guys,
I'm using a 7805 regulator to provide a regulated 5 Volt supply for a circuit with two microcontrollers.
The 7805 is rated to supply 1 Amp.
It's down to placing an inline fuse in the 12 Volt positive line supplying the 7805.
Could someone suggest an Amp value to use for the fuse?
I hear the 7805 is inefficient, and likely draws significantly
more power than it provides on the regulated side.
Cheers, Art.
