LM317 – 3-Terminal Adjustable Positive Voltage Regulator

Description

The LM317 is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over a 1.2V to 37V output range. They are exceptionally easy to use and require only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, both line and load regulation are better than standard fixed regulators. Also, the LM317 is packaged in standard transistor packages which are easily mounted and handled.
