I realize it is relatively low voltage, but so am I.
Suppose I have 18 volts in from a bridge rectifier. Do you think I could split that between an LM7805, with full filtering, and an LM7905 with the same filtering? Am I getting too close to the lower edge of what the regulators can handle?
I've never used one of these before and have no idea.
If I could find a 'Rail Splitter' for this range, would it be better? I think I would have to use a 15 volt regulator and put the rail splitter in the output circuit.
