Resistor vs Regulator

[Kewtsquirrel]

1.5A won't cut it - the TI regulators work fine if you use the 2 100uF capacitors that the datasheet has listed as 'required'. I just built one tonight using a protected 14500 and it vapes identical to my 5v passthru, even though I couldn't find my charger and the battery was only sitting at 3.75v.

Nice chart marlbuzz, might be a bit hard to read for those who don't know what they're looking for, though.

I'll put an explaination on it for people who are not used to reading these things

Also look at this regulator 3a, 1.3v dropout voltage small package , STMicroelectronics - Linear Regulators - Related Information - LD1085 DPAK style

also this one with Inhibit/on-off pin
