78xx

[1] 78xx (or L78xx, LM78xx, MC78xx...) is a family of linear voltage regulator (VR) ICs.

Family members

[1] Common 78xx ICs are 7805 (5 V), 7806 (6 V), 7808 (8 V), 7809 (9 V), 7810 (10 V), 7812 (12 V), 7815 (15 V), 7818 (18 V), and 7824 (24 V) versions.

The 7805 is the most used, as its regulated 5 V supply provides a convenient power source for most TTL components.
