Hi everyone,

I think most of you here are familiar with the 5V regulator 78M05.  You know
that a single regulator can only supply 0.5A max.  My problem is that I need
to have 2A+ of continunous current at 5V to drive a DC motor.

Questions:

1.  Can I put them in parallel to boost up the supply current?  If yes, how?
2.  Is there another way to get this kind of current?

2.  I remember seeing people use an PNP transistor in conjunction with the
regulator.  Can't remember how to connect them together now...

Best regards,
Thomas
