Product details
Overview
L7805AC-D2TR from STMicroelectronics is a three-terminal positive fixed-voltage linear regulator delivering 5 V ±2 % output with up to 1.5 A continuous current, thermal overload and short-circuit protection, and operation across 0 °C to 125 °C junction temperature-used for local on-card regulation in industrial power supplies and embedded control modules.
For engineers reviewing the L7805AC-D2TR datasheet, L7805AC-D2TR pinout, L7805AC-D2TR application, or L7805AC-D2TR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical characteristics, package-specific thermal data, load/line regulation behavior at 1 A, dropout voltage (2 V), and noise performance (40 µV/√Hz) under real operating conditions.
Technical Context
This IC implements a monolithic series-pass linear regulation architecture with internal current limiting, safe operating area (SOA) protection, and thermal shutdown-enabling robust local DC-DC conversion without external compensation. It requires only two external capacitors (0.33 µF input, 0.1 µF output) for stable operation.
Designed for fixed-output use, it supports adjustable configurations via external resistive networks but is optimized for simplicity in low-noise, moderate-power applications where PSRR (62 dB at 120 Hz) and low output resistance (17 mΩ) are critical for analog subsystems and microcontroller power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5 V ±2 % (4.9–5.1 V at 25 °C; 4.75–5.25 V over full load/temp range) |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous-supports motor drivers, sensor interfaces, and MCU cores requiring stable 5 V under transient loads |
| Dropout Voltage | 2 V at 1 A-requires minimum 7 V input for regulated 5 V output; impacts efficiency in battery-powered designs |
| Supply Rejection | 62 dB at 120 Hz-effectively attenuates ripple from rectified AC or switching pre-regulators |
| Output Noise | 40 µV/√Hz (10 Hz–100 kHz)-suitable for analog front-ends and precision ADC references |
| Thermal Protection | Auto-shutdown at safe junction temperature-prevents damage during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current | 8 mA typical-low enough for always-on systems but higher than ultra-low-IQ alternatives |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation; thermally optimized for high-current operation without through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Input) | VIN | Unregulated DC input (7–35 V); must exceed VOUT + VDROP (≥7 V) for regulation |
| 2 (Ground) | GND | Common reference for input/output; connects to thermal pad for optimal heat transfer |
| 3 (Output) | VOUT | Stable 5 V output; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed near pin for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5 V output with ±2 % tolerance | Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL, USB peripherals, and legacy microcontrollers without trimming |
| Internal SOA and thermal shutdown | Enables fault resilience in unattended industrial equipment without external protection circuitry |
| Low output impedance (17 mΩ) | Maintains tight regulation under dynamic load steps-critical for digital logic supply integrity |
| Guaranteed operation to 125 °C junction | Supports deployment in engine control units, power converters, and enclosed enclosures without derating |
| Minimal external components (2 caps) | Reduces BOM count and PCB area-ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer and industrial boards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7805CD2T | ±2 % output tolerance, TO-263 package, 1.5 A rating, but lower PSRR (55 dB) and higher noise (75 µV/√Hz) | Less suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits; acceptable for digital-only loads | Select when cost is prioritized over analog performance and thermal margin is sufficient |
| MC7805BD2TR4 | ±4 % tolerance, D²PAK, 1.5 A, wider input range (up to 35 V), but no extended temp grade (0–125 °C only) | Not qualified for automotive or extended industrial environments requiring −40 °C startup | Choose for general-purpose commercial equipment where tighter voltage accuracy is non-critical |
Compared with LM7805CD2T and MC7805BD2TR4, the L7805AC-D2TR offers superior voltage accuracy (±2 % vs. ±4 %), higher PSRR (62 dB), and guaranteed operation across the full industrial temperature range-making it the preferred choice for mission-critical analog and automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 5 V output?
The L7805AC-D2TR requires a minimum input voltage of 7 V to maintain regulation at full load (1.5 A), based on its 2 V dropout voltage specification. Below 7 V, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 7 V is unsupported and may cause instability or thermal shutdown.
Can this regulator be used without a heatsink?
At ≤500 mA load and ambient temperature ≤40 °C, the D²PAK package can operate without an external heatsink due to its 62.5 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Above 500 mA or in elevated ambient conditions, a copper pour or dedicated heatsink is required to keep junction temperature below 125 °C.
Does L7805AC-D2TR require input and output capacitors?
Yes-STMicroelectronics specifies a 0.33 µF ceramic capacitor on the input and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor on the output, placed as close as possible to the device pins. Omitting either capacitor risks oscillation, poor transient response, or failure to regulate under load changes.
How does short-circuit protection behave during fault conditions?
Under short-circuit, the device limits output current to 0.75 A (typical) and activates thermal shutdown if junction temperature exceeds safe limits. After fault removal and cooldown, it automatically recovers-no latch or manual reset is needed, enabling self-recovering power systems.
