8.2.1 Fixed Output Voltage Regulator

The LM340x and LM7805 Family devices are primarily designed to provide fixed output voltage regulation. The simplest implementation of LM340x and LM7805 Family is shown in Figure 18.

*Required if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter.
**Although no output capacitor is needed for stability, it does help transient response. (If needed, use 0.1-μF, ceramic disc).
