Description
The LM317 is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over an output voltage range of 1.2V to 37V. This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it essentially blow-out proof.

(LM317CT)

Features
Output current in excess of 1.5 ampere Output adjustable between 1.2V and 37V

Standard Application
Vin Vout

LM317
Cin 0.1F IADJ R1 Adjust 240 R2 Co 1F

Internal thermal overload protection Internal short-circuit current limiting constant with temperature Output transistor safe-area compensation Floating operation for high voltage applications Eliminates stocking many fixed voltages

Notes: Cin is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter. Co is not needed for stability, however, it does improve transient response. Vout = 1.25V (1 + R2 / R1) + IAdj R2 Since IAdj is controlled to less than 100A, the error associated with this term is negligible in most applications

Notes: (1) Tlow = 0C Thigh = 125C (2) Imax = 1.5A Pmax is internally limited (3) Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in Vo due to heating effects must be taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty cycle is used. (4) Selected devices with tightened tolerance reference voltage available. (5) CAdj, when used, is connected between the addjustment pin and ground. (6) Since Long-Term Stability cannot be measured on each device before shipment, this specification is an engineering estimate of average stability from lot to lot.
