L7805CV

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The EVVO L7805CV is a three-terminal positive linear voltage regulator designed to deliver a fixed 5V output with a maximum current capacity of 1.5A. It operates within an input voltage range of 7V to 35V and utilizes a TO-220-3 through-hole package. The device features internal thermal overload protection and short-circuit current limiting for robust operation. It maintains a typical power supply rejection ratio of 62dB and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +125°C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as EVVO, distinct from the original STMicroelectronics design. Confirm the specific output current rating (1.5A) and thermal characteristics against official datasheets, as variations exist across different manufacturers producing this component type. Ensure the TO-220-3 package matches your board layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5V rail is required with moderate current demands up to 1.5A. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities inherent to the TO-220 package for high input-output differential scenarios. Verify compatibility with the target application's input voltage range and ensure adequate heat sinking if operating near maximum current limits.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This component belongs to the L78xx series of positive linear regulators, a widely adopted family for basic voltage regulation tasks. While originally defined by STMicroelectronics, multiple manufacturers now produce equivalent parts under similar naming conventions. The L7805CV specifically denotes the 5V output variant in the commercial grade temperature range.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include the STMicroelectronics L7805CV and variants from other manufacturers such as UMW or ON Semiconductor. Ensure replacement parts match the 1.5A current rating and TO-220-3 package dimensions.
