| Feb 14, 2016 at 12:22 | comment | added | mhz | OK, so the output cap has nothing to do with the 7805 per se (e.g. compensation), but is just your usual bypass capacitor that would normally be placed at the load. This raises the question of why it would be mentioned in the application circuit at all, since the application circuit of just about any IC will also call out bypass caps on its VCC pins. If one blindly follows both application circuits, and the regulator is placed at the load, you wind up with doubled up bypass caps right next to each other. | |
