LM138 Datasheet (National Semiconductor) - 5-Amp Adjustable Regulators

LM138, 5-Amp Adjustable Regulators

The LM138 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 5A over a 1.2V to 32V output range.

They are exceptionally easy to use and require only 2 resistors to set the output voltage.

Careful circuit design has resulted in outstanding load and line r
