LM317, NCV317
1.5 A Adjustable Output,
Positive Voltage Regulator
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.
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.

3. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in V

due to heating effects must be taken into account
separately. Pulse testing with low duty cycle is used.
4. Power dissipation within an IC voltage regulator produces a temperature gradient on the die, affecting individual IC components on the die.
These effects can be minimized by proper integrated circuit design and layout techniques. Thermal Regulation is the effect of these
temperature gradients on the output voltage and is expressed in percentage of output change per watt of power change in a specified time.

7. Since Long−Term Stability cannot be measured on each device before shipment, this specification is an engineering estimate of average
stability from lot to lot.
