78L05 5.0V TO-92 Linear Regulator

Voltage regulators are very common in electronic circuits. They provide a constant output voltage for a varied input voltage. In our case the 78L05 IC is an iconic regulator IC that finds its application in most of the projects. The name 78L05 signifies two meaning, “78” means that it is a positive voltage regulator and “05” means that it provides 5V as output. So our 7805 will provide a +5V output voltage.

Features:

• 5V Positive Voltage Regulator
• Output Current upto 100mA
• Maximum Input Voltage is 30V
• Operating current(IQ) is 5mA     
• Internal Thermal Overload and Short circuit current limiting protection is available.
• Available in TO-92,SO-8 and SOT-89 package

Applications

• Constant +5V output regulator to power small loads of less than 100mA
• Adjustable Output Regulator
• Current Limiter for certain applications
• Output Polarity-Reversal-Protection Circuit
• Output booster circuit
