GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LM137/LM337 are adjustable 3-terminal negative voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of −1.5A over an output voltage range of −1.2V to −37V. These regulators are exceptionally easy to apply, requiring only 2 external resistors to set the output voltage and 1 output capacitor for frequency compensation. The circuit design has been optimized for excellent regulation and low thermal transients. Further, n n n n n n n n 77 dB ripple rejection Excellent rejection of thermal transients 50 ppm/˚C temperature coefficient Temperature-independent current limit Internal thermal overload protection P+ Product Enhancement tested Standard 3-lead transistor package Output is short circuit protected LM137 Series Packages and Power Capability Rated Device LM137/337 LM337 LM337 Package TO-3 (K) TO-39 (H) TO-220 (T) SOT-223 (MP) Power Dissipation 20W 2W 15W 2W Design Load Current 1.5A 0.5A 1.5A 1A FEATURES
