The TL317 is an adjustable three-terminal
positive-voltage regulator capable of supplying
100 mA over an output-voltage range of 1.2 V to
32 V. It is exceptionally easy to use and requires
only two external resistors to set the output
voltage.

ADJUSTMENT
In addition to higher performance than fixed
regulators, this regulator offers full overload
protection available only in integrated circuits. Included on the chip are current-limiting and thermal-overload
protection. All overload-protection circuitry remains fully functional, even when ADJUSTMENT is disconnected.
Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is situated far from the input filter capacitors, in which
case an input bypass is needed. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response.
ADJUSTMENT can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple rejection, which is difficult to achieve with standard
three-terminal regulators.
In addition to replacing fixed regulators, the TL317 regulator is useful in a wide variety of other applications.
Since the regulator is floating and sees only the input-to-output differential voltage, supplies of several hundred
volts can be regulated as long as the maximum input-to-output differential is not exceeded. Its primary
application is that of a programmable output regulator, but by connecting a fixed resistor between
ADJUSTMENT and OUTPUT, this device can be used as a precision current regulator. Supplies with electronic
shutdowncan be achieved by clamping ADJUSTMENT to ground, programming the output to 1.2 V, where most
loads draw little current.
The TL317C is characterized for operation over the virtual junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C.
