FEATURES
● Guaranteed 7 A peak output current● Guaranteed 5 A output current )● Adjustable output down to 1.2 V t(s● Line regulation typically 0.005 %/V uc● Load regulation typically 0.1 % d● Guaranteed thermal regulation ro● Current limit constant with temperature P● Standard 3-lead transistor package oleteDescription bsThe LM138, LM238, LM338 are adjustable 3Oterminal positive voltage regulators capable of -supplying in excess of 5 A over a 1.2 V to 32 V )output range. They are exceptionally easy to use t(sand require only 2 resistors to set the output voltage. Careful circuit design has resulted in ucoutstanding load and line regulation comparable dto many commercial power supplies. The LM138 rofamily is supplied in a standard 3-lead transistor Ppackage. teA unique feature of the LM138 family is time-delependent current limiting. The current limit circuitry oallows peak currents of up to 12 A to be drawn sfrom the regulator for short periods of time. This ballows the LM138 to be us...
