7905 is a member of 79 negative regulator series. The device gives a fixed -5V output. This regulator needs minimal external component, only the compensation capacitor at the output, to get -5V output. It has an internal thermal shutdown and safe area protection.

Features

• Internal thermal and short circuit current limiting shutdown
• Safe area protection
• High ripple rejection
• 4% tolerance on the preset output voltage
• Standard TO-220 Package

Specification

• Output voltage range: -4.8V to -5.2V
• Typical output voltage: -5V
• Input voltage range: 7V to 25V
• Maximum output current: 1.5A
• Operating current: 5mA

Instruction

• Use compensation capacitor at the output to get fixed -5V output
• Use heat sink if the output load exceeds 1A to avoid thermal damage

Package contains

• 1 x LM7905 -5V voltage regulator IC
