eplanet Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 hi friendsplease see this attachment.can you tell me why use c1 and c2 for lm7805 and why in other config we use capacitors with different values.this pictures use for pic micro controller and LCD power supply.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 The value isn't critical. I'd also recommend adding a 100nF ceramic capacitor to the output as it has better high frequency characteristics. The addition of capacitors is known as bypassing or decoupling and it touched on in the LM7805 data sheet.http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm340-n.pdfA more detailed explanation can be found on the LM317 data sheet.http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm117.pdfHere are a couple of links with more information:http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snva020a/snva020a.pdfhttp://www.ti.com/lit/an/snva558/snva558.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eplanet Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 what is the different between c1 and c2 will be 100uf instead of 10uf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The datasheet recommends 0.22uF input and 0.1uf output ceramic disc capacitors.The LM7805 might oscillate with 10uF or 100uF electrolytic capacitors.Of course if the input was rectified AC then a huge main filter capacitor is needed in addition to the 0.22uF ceramic capacitor.

eplanet Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 can you tell me more about this statement about these values"The value isn't critical but if you make it too small you risk it being inadequate to damp oscillation. If you make it too big, at least with a single capacitor, you run the risk of the high frequency impedance of the capacitor being too high. "damp oscillation and high frequency impedance ?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 All that means is that if the capacitor is too small, it won't be large enough to damp the oscillations but if it's a single, large value capacitor it won't be good either. Higher value capacitors tend to have poor high frequency characteristics and become inductive past the resonant frequency, the higher the value, the lower the resonant frequency.Rather than using a single, high value capacitor, it's better to use a large capacitor and lower value capacitor in parallel with one another. The type of capacitor is also important; for example tantalum is better than electrolytic. I'd recommend a 1uF tantalum in parallel with a 100nF and 10nF ceramic capacitor on both the input and output. If you don't have a 1uf tantalum, go with 22uF electrolytic. abdou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
