Story
This project demonstrates how to build a simple Voltage Regulator using the 7805 integrated circuit (IC). The 7805 provides a stable 5V output from a higher input voltage, making it ideal for powering circuits and components that require a 5V power supply.
- Name: 7805 Voltage Regulator
- Type: Linear Voltage Regulator
- Input Voltage: 7V to 35V
- Output Voltage: 5V DC
- Current Output: 1A (typical)
This is a basic, easy-to-understand circuit designed for beginners. It uses the 7805 voltage regulator IC along with capacitors, diodes, and other passive components to ensure a stable output voltage.
Below is the schematic diagram for the 7805 Voltage Regulator.
The 3D PCB model gives you a visual representation of how the circuit board looks in 3D before fabrication.
