Is it fair (as
in rational, smart, non-stupid) to put multiple 7805 in
parallel? Can't say I've ever seen that done. Only the more typical
design of adding a pass transistor to carry more current.
It's a bad idea to parallel regualtors like that, since the output
votlages will not be indentical and one will supply the lion's share of
the current (and will try to feed current back into the others).
