I've often wondered why the back-current diode isn't incorporated into the die of all common linear regs. Is it that costly, or simply impractical due to die space or other considerations?
In fact, I believe that some of the more modern regs do employ it.. just not the old-standby like LM317, 7805/7905, and so on.
