NSC LM723CN, LM723TO Datasheet

LM723/LM723C
Voltage Regulator

General Description

The LM723/LM723C is a voltage regulator designed prima­rily for series regulator applications. By itself, it will supply
output currentsup to 150 mA; but external transistors can be
added to provide any desired load current. The circuit fea­tures extremely low standby current drain, and provision is
made for either linear or foldback current limiting.

The LM723/LM723C is also useful in a wide range of other
applications suchas a shunt regulator, a current regulatoror
a temperature controller.

The LM723C is identical to the LM723 except that the
LM723C has its performance guaranteed over a 0˚C to
+70˚C temperature range, instead of −55˚C to +125˚C.

Features

n 150 mA output current without external pass transistor
n Output currents in excess of 10A possible by adding

external transistors

n Input voltage 40V max
n Output voltage adjustable from 2V to 37V
n Can be used as either a linear or a switching regulator
