7805V REGULATOR

Description

A voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. 7805 IC, a member of 78xx series of fixed linear voltage regulators used to maintain such fluctuations, is a popular voltage regulator integrated circuit (IC). The xx in 78xx indicates the output voltage it provides. 7805  IC provides +5 volts regulated power supply with provisions to add a heat sink.

Features:

• Input voltage (7V-35V)
• Regulated output 5V (4.8V-5.2V)
• Ground (0V)
• Quiescent (standby) current: 5mA

Applications :

1. Circuits requiring steady 5v supply.
2. Protection for devices having specific voltage sensitivity.
3. DIY projects requiring specific voltage from an existing higher/ varying voltage supply.
