We’re quite sure that all hobbyists have used the 7805 voltage regulator at least once in their lives. They are a simple way to regulate 7V+ voltages to the 5V that some of our low power ...

If you need, say, a 5V regulator, you grab a 7805, add a capacitor for stability, and send in enough voltage for the regulator to work with. Cheap and easy. However, the part is not without its ...

The Regulator ICs require minimum 1.5 higher input voltage than their voltage rating. For example 7805 IC requires minimum 6.5 volts to give 5 volt output. Here are some circuit designs of IC 7805 to ...

In this schematic is presented a simple 12 Volts to 6 volts converter circuit that is built with the well-known 7805 voltage regulator or the LM309 IC. You can use 7806 as well, but this circuit comes ...

(Credit: Silverxxx via Wikipedia) In the 78xx series, the xx denotes two digits that indicate the output voltage; for example, the output for the famous 7805 has a 5-V output whereas the 7824 ...
