Unique Site and Control Change Requirements AEC−Q100ġ.5 A Adjustable Output Positive Voltage Regulatorġ.5 A Adjustable Output, Positive Voltage Regulator NCV Prefix for Automotive and Other Applications Requiring.Available in Surface Mount D2PAK−3, and Standard 3−Lead Transistor Package.Eliminates Stocking many Fixed Voltages.Floating Operation for High Voltage Applications.Output Transistor Safe−Area Compensation.Internal Short Circuit Current Limiting Constant with Temperature.Output Adjustable between 1.2 V and 37 V.This device can also be used to make a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the LM317 can be used as a precision current regulator.
The LM317 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on card regulation. Further, it employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it essentially blow−out proof. This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. The LM317 is an adjustable 3−terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying in excess of 1.5 A over an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 37 V.
