The 78XX series of regulators are very handy to use. 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 ...

Fixed voltage Positive and Negative regulator ICs are used in circuits to give precise regulated voltage. 78 XX series regulator IC can handle maximum 1 ampere current. The Regulator ICs require ...

The 7805 voltage regulator is a great device if you want a simple way of bringing a voltage down to 5V. It’s a three-pin, one-component solution that puts out five volts and a lot of heat. Simple, not ...

IC 78XX Series includes three terminal positive voltage regulators commonly available in TO 220 package. These are useful in wide range of applications to give precise output voltage. These regulators ...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back ...
