say unregulated +8 through a 7805 to a regulated +5 and
you want to test it independent of the +8 supply, if
you leave the unregulated rail unattached and put +5
switcher straight onto the regulated +5 rail, will you
damage the 7805? Clearly the VIN is open, but the ground
pin will still be attached. Would this push voltage
back through and screw things up?
Thanks,
