IC 78XX Series includes three terminal positive voltage regulators commonly available in TO 220 package. These are useful in wide range of applications to give precise output voltage. These regulators ...

In this schematic is presented a simple 12 Volts to 6 volts converter circuit that is built with the well-known 7805 voltage regulator or the LM309 IC. You can use 7806 as well, but this circuit comes ...

It’s become a matter of debate as to precisely when the 78xx series of linear regulators were designed or when they hit the market for that matter. Some will tell you their lineage can be traced back ...
