Hi everyone,
a have two quick questions regarding Teensy 3.2's current draw and voltage regulation.
In my project I am using a 78L05 power regulator (TO-92 package) to regulate 12V to 5V (plus two capacitors), connected to Teensy's VIN. Everything is working, but the regulator is getting quite hot … So I was wondering:
1) How much current is Teensy 3.2 typically drawing? I found multiple info ranging from 45 mA to 250 mA (btw: is there a way I could measure that myself?)
2) The 78L05 is rated for 0,1 A. I am going from 12V to 5V. Do you think it is safe to use it together with Teensy 3.2?
I searched the forum and couldn't find a definitive answer –*hope it's okay I started a new thread.
Thanks in advance!
