L7805CV Schematic Diagram
The internal circuit of L7805 three-terminal voltage regulator IC has the functions of overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection and overheat protection, which makes its performance very stable. Therefore, it can achieve more than 1A output current.The device also has a good temperature coefficient, so the product has a wide range of applications. Local regulation can be used to eliminate the influence of noise and solve the dispersion problem related to single-point regulation. The output voltage error accuracy is ±3% and ±5%.

L7805CV Design Consideration
The L78 series of fixed voltage regulators are designed with thermal overload protection that shuts down the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload condition, internal short-circuit protection that limits the maximum current the circuit will pass, and output transistor safe-area compensation that reduces the output shortcircuit current as the voltage across the pass transistor is increased. In many low current applications, compensation capacitors are not required.
However, it is recommended that the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the regulator is connected to the power supply filter with long lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. An input bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good high-frequency characteristics to ensure stable operation under all load conditions. A 0.33 µF or larger tantalum, mylar or other capacitor having low internal impedance at high frequencies should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with the shortest possible leads directly across the regulator's input terminals. Normally good construction techniques should be used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance drops since the regulator has no external sense lead.
The addition of an operational amplifier allows adjustment to higher or intermediate values while retaining regulation characteristics. The minimum voltage obtained with the arrangement is 2V greater than the regulator voltage. The circuit of a high current voltage regulator (the figure is shown below) can be modified to provide supply protection against short circuit by adding a short circuit sense resistor, RSC, and an additional PNP transistor. The current sensing PNP must be able to handle the short circuit current of the three terminal regulator. Therefore a four ampere plastic power transistor is specified.

FAQ
STMicroelectronics L7805CV | 3-Pin Linear Regulator Linear Regulators.
|
- What is the working principle of IC 7805?
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.
|
- How do I test a 7805 with a multimeter?
Turn on the DC power supply and adjust the output voltage of about 8V or slightly larger. Or alternatively, you can use a battery 9V-12V as voltage source. Look at the voltmeter panel when you set the voltage. Prepare a DC voltmeter reading on voltage range 50V to measure the output voltage of the IC 7805.
|
- How does 7805 regulate voltage?
For 7805 IC, it is +5V DC regulated power supply. This regulator IC also adds a provision for a heat sink. The input voltage to this voltage regulator can be up to 35V, and this IC can give a constant 5V for any value of input less than or equal to 35V which is the threshold limit.
