I've heard this statement before on different sites.. But is it always true?
I'm trying to build a variable voltage adapter using an LM317T, and I can vary the voltage by using a potential divider at the output side, but there is no indication of the current, except that it can handle up to 1.5A (with a heatsink in place)..
Does this mean that if I set up my voltage for 19V, and hook it up to a 19V 2000mA load, the load will draw only the 2000mA that it needs and no more... And any 19V load that requires less than 2000mA should also work in this configuration?
