LM7905CT/NOPB datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM7905CT/NOPB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LM7905CT/NOPB can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 35V, but it's recommended to keep it below 25V for reliable operation.
• How much current can the LM7905CT/NOPB supply?
  The LM7905CT/NOPB can supply up to 1A of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 500mA for reliable operation.
• What is the dropout voltage of the LM7905CT/NOPB?
  The dropout voltage is typically around 2V, which means the input voltage must be at least 2V higher than the output voltage for proper regulation.
• Is the LM7905CT/NOPB short-circuit protected?
  Yes, the LM7905CT/NOPB has built-in short-circuit protection, which limits the output current to prevent damage in case of a short circuit.
• Can I use the LM7905CT/NOPB in a high-temperature environment?
  The LM7905CT/NOPB is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to keep the junction temperature below 100°C for reliable operation.
