THREE-TERMINAL ADJUSTABLE
KK317
OUTPUT POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATORS
The KK317 is 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. These voltage
regulator is exceptionally easy to use and require only two
external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employ
internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area
compensation, making

them essentially blow-out proof.
The KK317 serve a wide variety of applications to
make a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a
fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the KK
317 series can be used as a precision current requlator.
