LM7805 IC – 5V Positive Voltage Regulator IC

7805 Voltage Regulator IC

The 7805 voltage regulator IC is a three-terminal voltage regulator IC. A 7805 voltage regulator with a fixed output voltage is used in various applications. This is available through various packages like SOT-223, TO-263, TO-220, and TO-3. Among these, the TO-220 is the most used one.

TheIC 7805 is available in the TO220 package. It employs built-in current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe operating area protection which makes them virtually immune to damage from output overloads.

7805 voltage regulator, although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator can also be used with external components for adjustable voltages and currents. With adequate heatsinking, they can deliver more than 0.5A output current.
