LCD backlight overheats 7805

[Acetronics2]

Hi

And would have increased the resistor value to say 47 ohms nearly.. it is a good idea and now even a 78L05 will do ( ofcourse in and out pins are diffrent.)
GOOD improvisation

Hi, Sarma

When using 78L05 ... just think to have very good decoupling caps.
the internal impedance of the L series sometimes may cause little surprises with PMW use or with outputs loaded ...

Think to the LM 317 L that has a lower output impedance !!! ... or keep the 7805.
