LM120/LM320 Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM120 series are three-terminal negative regulators with a fixed output voltage of −5V, −12V, and −15V, and up to 1.5A load current capability. Where other voltages are required, the LM137 and LM137HV series provide an output voltage range of −1.2V to −47V.
The LM120 need only one external component—a compensation capacitor at the output, making them easy to apply. Worst case guarantees on output voltage deviation due to any combination of line, load or temperature variation assure satisfactory system operation.
Exceptional effort has been made to make the LM120 Series immune to overload conditions.
