The LM317 is a monolithic integrated circuit in TO-220 package intended for use as a positive adjustable voltage regulators. It is designed to supply more than 1.5A of load current with an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2 to 37 V range. The nominal output voltage is selected by means of a resistive divider, making the
device exceptionally easy to use and eliminating the stocking of many fixed regulators.
Features:
- Output voltage range: 1.2 to 37 V
- Output current in excess of 1.5 A
- 0.1% line and load regulation
- Floating operation for high voltages
- Complete series of protections: current limiting, thermal shutdown and SOA control
