Voltage regulator IC’s, with 3 pins, from LM7805 and LM7812 series are excellent for usage in voltage regulator circuits. If you need higher currents, up to 3 A, you must add a complementary transistor, T2 in this schematic. In a normal design, in case of a shortcircuit, the power dissipation can be very high. This problem can be solved using the voltage regulator design presented bellow. 
The compact 5 pin L165 IC general a stabilized symmetrical power supply from a single asymmetrical power supply. The output voltage is however, half of the input voltage. One needs to add the ripple filter capacitors C1, C2, C3 and C4 and some resistors for setting the symmetry. In constructing the circuit, place the capacitors C1 and C2 as close to the IC as possible.
