OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE : 1.2 TO 37V OUTPUT CURRENT IN EXCESS OF 1.5A 0.1% LINE AND LOAD REGULATION FLOATING OPERATION FOR HIGH VOLTAGES COMPLETE SERIES OF PROTECTIONS : CURRENT LIMITING, THERMAL SHUTDOWN AND SOA CONTROL

DESCRIPTION The LM117/LM217/LM317 are monolithic integrated circuit in TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-3 and D2PAKpackages intended for use as positive adjustable voltage regulators. They are designed to supply more than 1.5A of load current with an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2 to 37V range. The nominal output voltage is selected by means of only a resistive divider, making the device exceptionally easy to use and eliminating the stocking of many fixed regulators.

APPLICATION INFORMATION The LM117/217/317 provides an internal reference voltage of 1.25V between the output and adjustments terminals. This is used to set a constant current flow across an external resistor divider (see fig. 4), giving an output voltage VO of: R2 VO =VREF (1 + ) + IADJ R2 R1 The device was designed to minimize the term IADJ (100µA max) and to maintain it very constant with line and load changes. Usually, the error term IADJ ⋅ R2 can be neglected. To obtain the previous requirement, all the regulator quiescent current is returned to the output terminal, imposing a minimum load current condition. If the load is insufficient, the output voltage...
