Hi All.
Im building a 15 V DC power supply and was referring 7815 datasheet.
I came across this particular graph in datasheet (refer attachment) showing dependency of peak output current on input output voltage difference.
im trying to understand the graph.
So correct me if im wrong.
the graph shows the voltage difference between input and output that one should maintain to acheive particular current limit.
example :-
if i want my regulator to withstand a current of 2.5 A (let Tj=0 degree) then i have to maintain Voltage difference between 5 to 15
if the voltage difference goes below 5 or above 15 it wont be to handle 2.5 A through it.
