"Can I parallel two LM78xx linear regulators?
Paralleling of 3-terminal regulators is generally not recommended because the devices will not share current equally. If, for instance, you try to make a 2 Amp regulator using two LM7812s or two LM7815s, the device with the higher output voltage could be carrying more load than the other. Or even worse, the second regulator may be totally off. The reliability of such a system is poor because of the combination of high temperature and high current in the first regulator.
A simple way to improve sharing is to insert a low value resistor (about 0.1 Ω ) in series with each output. The problem with this approach is that load regulation is poor, because the voltage drop across each resistor will vary as the load current varies, in this case 0.1V error for full load of 1A per regulator.
A better solution is to use either a linear regulator with a sufficiently high current limit, or a linear regulator controller with an appropriate pass transistor. For this example, the LM1085 quasi-lowdropout (QLDO) linear regulator would be a good integrated solution, or the LP2975 controller could be used for a more customized design. See the online design environment of the Power WEBENCH for recommended regulators to meet your system specifications. "
