I have a LM338 voltage regulator, I need to regulate it to a 5v output, on the Datasheet I found they have a circuit that has an ouput of 5v with an electronic shutdown using a transistor as well.
The circuit is attached.
I have no need for the electronic shutdown so can I just leave the transistor out & use this circuit as is without the transistor.
Also will 1/2 Watt resistors be ok for this type of circuit, I need about 5v 2Amps output from the regulator.
My input voltage will be around 15v.
Cheers
