The modern electronic circuits and devices operate on low level DC voltages. The low DC voltage operation makes these electronic devices battery powered, portable, and compact-sized. The common operating voltage range of digital electronic devices is 3.3V to 5V. Often there is a requirement of providing the DC voltage to the circuit using AC main power supply. In these cases, rectifiers, capacitors, and voltage regulators are used for the conversion and stepping down of AC voltage. The DC voltage obtained at the terminals of diode rectifier has a large ripple component present in it which degrades the power quality. A filtering capacitor is used to smooth the voltage ripple however some ripple still exists even after filtering. Hence, a voltage regulator IC is used to obtain a stable and ripple-free DC voltage. This ripple-free DC voltage is then provided to the electronic components such as microcontrollers and LCDs.

How UA7805CKTTR work?
The UA7805CKTTR is a general-purpose voltage regulator which is used very commonly in power supply circuits. One of the most common 7805 based circuit is the full wave diode rectifier power supply. In this power supply, the first stage is a power transformer which steps down 220/120VAC to 5VAC. The 2nd stage in the circuit is the diode rectifier which converts the 5VAC to 5VDC. The 3rd stage in the circuit is the 7805 regulator which removes the ripple from the converted DC voltage and provides a stable DC voltage at the output.
The application circuit of this power supply can be seen in the figure below:
