I found world BV in the LDO's Datasheet, that was 35V/1.0A
Is this mean the Maximum output fo the LDO regulator?

Well Actually It is not a datasheet, Just ppt comparing two LDO - SN7805 & KIA7805 -
Now I think it's the maximum input of the LDOs.

dunno Kris

dhlee
for a start the 78xx series regulators are not LDO regulators
secondly, looking at the datasheet for the KIA7805 there is absolutely no reference that I can find to a BV
characteristic

sooooo ....
is it really a 7805 ?
or is it some other regulator that really is a LDO type ?


cheers
Dave

True, the 7805 is definitely not an LDO. And dhlee said that "BV" is not on the data sheet; it's in a comparison on a Powerpoint slide. I'm suggesting that the author of that slide might have meant "breakdown voltage".
