MEDIUM CURRENT
THREE–TERMINAL
ADJUSTABLE POSITIVE
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The LM317M is an adjustable three–terminal positive voltage regulator
capable of supplying in excess of 500 mA 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.
The LM317M serves a wide variety of applications including local,
on–card regulation. This device also makes an especially simple adjustable
switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a
fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the LM317M can be used
as a precision current regulator.
