hi, im trying to find out if i need a heatsink, and if so how big, for the following component: http://www1.elfa.se/data1/wwwroot/assets/datasheets/07306781.pdf
In figure 6, on page 11 it states that i have to take the ground current into consideration, however i have no idea what that current may be.
I am interested in reducing 9 volts to 5V, running at 0.8A, the component is in a SOT-223 package.
Hope you guys can help:=)
