| Mar 21, 2021 at 15:17 | comment | added | D.A.S. | It depends on your specs for max voltage drop and max temp rise of your heatsink. Yes there are hundred amp regulators with discrete parts but you must specify impedance of source, load =5V/2Aand max voltage drop for Pd and Rja of heatsink for x Watt loss. | |
