Three Terminal Adjustable Output
Positive Voltage Regulators
LM317E3
The LM317E3 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 ex-
ternal resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal current
limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it essentially
blow–out proof.

The LM317E3 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on-card
regulation. This device can also be used to make a programmable output regu-
lator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the
LM317E3 can be used as a precision current regulator.
