5 V fixed rail with 68 dB ripple rejection — what the PSRR buys
The ST L7805ACD2T is a fixed 5 V positive voltage regulator delivering up to 1.5 A continuous output. Its 68 dB PSRR at 120 Hz is the spec that matters for analog supply rails — it attenuates full-wave rectified mains ripple by a factor of ~2500, so a 1 Vpp ripple at the input becomes under 0.4 mVpp on the output. That keeps 5 V rails clean for op-amps, ADCs, and sensor front-ends without a post-filter LDO.
1.5 A output and dropout headroom
At 1 A load the typical dropout is 2 V maximum, meaning the input must stay above 7 V to maintain regulation. With a 35 V absolute input ceiling, the part handles unregulated DC from a 24 VAC transformer rectified to ~34 V — common in industrial control panels. The 6 mA quiescent current is negligible against the load budget.
