LM138 Datasheet 5-amp Adjustable Regulators

Manufacturer: National Semiconductor (now Texas Instruments)

Overview: LM138/LM338 5-Amp Adjustable Regulators May 1998 LM138/LM338 5-Amp Adjustable.

General Description

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 regulation — comparable to many commercial power supplies.
