LM117HV/LM317HV 3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator
April 2000
LM117HV/LM317HV 3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM117HV/LM317HV are adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over a 1.2V to 57V output range. They are exceptionally easy to use and require only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, both line and load regulation are better than standard fixed regulators. Also, the LM117HV is packaged in standard transistor packages which are easily mounted and handled.
In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the LM117HV series offers full overload protection available only in IC’s. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal overload protection and safe area protection.
