I'm trying to work out a power supply setup for my project, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around whether it's okay to do this... I have a regulator with an enable pin. I want to connect that enable pin to +12V via a 10K resistor. I also want to connect it to GND via a switch. I also …

5V rail connected to 12V via 10K resistor ok?
