L7805ACV datasheet by STMicroelectronics

L7805ACV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the L7805ACV can handle?
  The maximum input voltage for the L7805ACV is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 25V for reliable operation.
• How much current can the L7805ACV supply?
  The L7805ACV can supply up to 1A of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 0.5A for reliable operation.
• What is the dropout voltage of the L7805ACV?
  The dropout voltage of the L7805ACV is around 2V, which means the input voltage should be at least 2V higher than the output voltage for proper regulation.
• Is the L7805ACV short-circuit protected?
  Yes, the L7805ACV has built-in short-circuit protection, which limits the output current in case of a short circuit.
• Can I use the L7805ACV in a high-temperature environment?
  The L7805ACV is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to keep it below 85°C for reliable operation. Above 85°C, the regulator's performance may degrade.
