I have a small 7805 circuit, a 7805 and two capacitors, which I have been using as a regulated power supply for a project.
However, one day, after no modifications that I know about, the circuit is reading ~2V across my voltage test points. The circuit seems to work when I use the ICD to power it, so I guess it is the 7805. Or would it be the caps?
I was surprised that the supply provides 5V unloaded, but only shows 2V when attached to my final circuit. I would have expected 0V output!
Is this normal?
