If you require more than 1 amp, the 7805 can be combined with other components to provide an output of up to 3 amps, with the circuit below. The current is switched through the TIP2955, so the 7805 can be run without a heatsink since it only regulates the voltage. Note the 3-amp diodes in [...]
The output voltage can be adjusted (varied) from 5v to 24v via a potentiometer connected to the common line of the regulator. The input voltage and heatsinking of the regulator must be sufficient for the output voltage and current. The output may not deliver more than 100mA @ 5v due to the heat produced by [...]
The output voltage of a supply can be increased by “jacking up” the voltage produced by the 7805. The way the 7805 works is this: It maintains a voltage of 5v between output and common terminal. If the voltage on the common terminal is increased (jacked up), the output voltage will be 5v higher. The [...]
