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.
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.
THREE–TERMINAL
ADJUSTABLE POSITIVE
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The LM317 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on card
regulation. 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.
