Linear Voltage Regulator

Linear Voltage Regulator 7805

The 7805 linear voltage regulator shall be a three-terminal fixed-voltage regulator designed to provide a stable and regulated 5V DC output from a higher DC input voltage. It shall be suitable for supplying power to microcontrollers, sensors, digital ICs, development boards and other low-voltage electronic circuits. The regulator shall be suitable for educational experiments, electronic prototyping, power-supply circuits and general-purpose embedded applications.

Key Specifications:

• Type: Fixed linear voltage regulator.
