LM317 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The LM317 is a versatile adjustable three-terminal positive voltage regulator manufactured by On Semiconductor. It is designed to supply currents greater than 1.5 A over an adjustable output voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. This regulator requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage, simplifying circuit design.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a typical line regulation of 0.01% and a typical load regulation of 0.1%. The device incorporates internal protection features such as short-circuit current limiting, thermal overload protection, and output safe-area compensation, ensuring reliable operation even under fault conditions.

 

The LM317 is available in multiple package types, including SOT-223, TO-220, and TO-263, catering to various mounting and thermal management requirements. Its adjustability and robust protection make it suitable for a wide array of applications requiring stable and flexible power regulation.
