DESCRIPTION

The LM117/LM217/LM317 are monolithic
integrated circuit in TO-220, ISOWATT220, TO-3
and D

2

PAK packages intended for use as

positiveadjustable voltageregulators.
They are designed to supply more than 1.5A of

load current with an output voltage adjustable
overa 1.2 to 37V range.

The nominal output voltage is selected by means
of only a resistive divider, making the device
exceptionally easy to use and eliminating the
stockingof manyfixed regulators.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

The LM117/217/317 provides an internal
reference voltage of 1.25V between the output
and adjustments terminals. This is used to set a
constant current flow across an external resistor
divider(see fig. 4),giving an outputvoltage V

O

of:

ADJR2

The device was designed to minimize the term
I

ADJ

(100µA max) and to maintainit very constant
with line and load changes. Usually, the error
term I

ADJ

⋅ R2can be neglected. To obtain the
previous requirement, all the regulator quiescent
current is returned to the output terminal,
imposinga minimum load current condition.If the
load is insufficient, the output voltagewill rise.

Since the LM117/217317 is a floating regulator
and ”sees” only the input-to-output differential

voltage,supplies of very highvoltage withrespect
to ground can be regulated as long as the
maximum input-to-output differential is not
exceeded. Furthermore, programmable regulator
are easily obtainable and, by connecting a fixed
resistor between the adjustment and output, the
device can be used as a precision current
regulator.

In order to optimise the load regulation, the
current set resistor R1 (see fig. 4) should be tied
as close as possible to the regulator, while the
ground terminal of R2 should be near the ground
of theload to provideremote ground sensing.

Performance may be improved with added
capacitanceas follow:

Aninput bypass capacitorof 0.1µF
An adjustment terminal to ground 10µF capacitor

An 1µF tantalium (or 25µFAluminium electrolitic)
capacitor on the output to improve transient
response.

In additional to external capacitors, it is good

practice to add protection diodes, as shown in
fig.5.

D1 protect the device against input short circuit,
while D2 protect against output short circuit for
capacitancedischarging.
