The L78L05ACUTR is a low-voltage linear voltage regulator that provides a stable output of 5V with a maximum output current of 100mA. It belongs to the L78 series of regulators, which are characterized by their easy-to-use design and integrated thermal and overload protection. Functions - Voltage Regulation: It provides a regulated 5V output from a higher input voltage. - Current Limiting: Protects against overcurrent conditions. - Thermal Shutdown: Protects the device from overheating. - Dropout Voltage: Operates with a low dropout voltage, meaning it can maintain a regulated output even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. Applications - Consumer Electronics: Used in power supplies for small devices, toys, and appliances. - Embedded Systems: Provides power to microcontrollers and sensors requiring a stable voltage. - Communication Equipment: Powers circuits in radios, telecommunication gear, and related devices. - Automotive: Can be used in automotive electronics for regulated power supply. Alternative Parts 1. LM7805: Another popular linear voltage regulator with similar specifications but different packaging options and slightly different performance characteristics. 2. LM317: An adjustable voltage regulator that allows users to set the output voltage as needed. 3. LDO Regulators from other manufacturers, such as the MCP1700 from Microchip or the TPS7A47 from Texas Instruments for low-dropout applications. Embedded Modules - Arduino Power Shields: Many Arduino shields include L78L05ACUTR for providing power to the board and additional peripherals. - Raspberry Pi Power Modules: Some power modules designed for Raspberry Pi use the L78L05ACUTR to provide regulated power. - Custom PCB Designs: Engineers often integrate the L78L05ACUTR into their custom-designed circuits for providing regulated power. Q&A 1. Q: What is the maximum output current of the L78L05ACUTR? A: The maximum output current of the L78L05ACUTR is 100mA. 2. Q: What is the input voltage range for the L78L05ACUTR to function correctly? A: The input voltage typically needs to be within 7V to 35V for proper regulation, keeping in mind the dropout voltage requirements. 3. Q: How does the thermal shutdown feature protect the L78L05ACUTR? A: The thermal shutdown feature disconnects the output when the internal temperature exceeds a certain threshold, preventing damage due to overheating. 4. Q: Can I use the L78L05ACUTR in battery-powered applications? A: Yes, but ensure the input voltage is higher than 5V to maintain regulation, and consider the dropout voltage when the battery voltage begins to drop. 5.
