power supply - How do I convert 9 V DC to 5 V?


What's a good way to reduce the output from a 9V battery to the 1.8V to 5V required by an ATmega328 controller? The context is a small robotics platform with low power requirements (very slow movement).



Answer



I would use a 7805 to get 5 volts simple circuit. Here is a image: 7805


idea: please make sure that caps are ceramic/polymer caps. The ceramic caps only have low ESR value. specially the right hand one.
