I got an LM350 voltage regulator setup with these specs:
Input - 34V
Output - 15V
I'm using a 560 ohm resistor that connects the ADJ and the Output pin, and I have a 10K potentiometer that connects the ADJ pin to the ground.
The voltage is good, I get my desired voltage by turning the pot. But the thing is, when I connect a 12V 25W load, I get a voltage drop of approx. 2.5V. It's not a heatsink issue because I have a huge one and the regulator doesn't shut down and sustains 12.5V.
Could the choice of resistors be the cause? The datasheet says to use 120 ohms, and a 5K pot.
