As I am new to electronics, it would be of great help to me if you could let me know some of the low drop-out version of the 7805 ? For eg., brand name and/ or model reference.
 
I bought a bunch of 7805s (all in one small plastic bag) which I noticed some has different model reference. For eg. some have 7805 while others have, 7805L. I would think the latter is low drop-out type. I just want to be sure.
 
If normal 7805 requires an extra 1.5V from the source then, what extra voltage is required for the low drop-out version ?
 
Thanks in advance for the help.
cheers,

In this situation you would use a low-dropout version of the 7805 as
standard practice.
What out though, LDO regs are unstable, they must be bypassed
properly.
