Simple 78xx Current Booster

Simple 78xx Current Booster

Description Voltage regulators such as the LM78xx, and LM317 series (and others) sometimes need to provide a little bit more current then they actually can handle. If that is the case, this little circuit can help out. A power transistor such as the 2N3772 or similar can be used...
