LM317A Overview
The LM317A adjustable 3-terminal, positive-voltage regulators are capable of supplying current in excess of 1.5 A over a 1.25-V to 37-V output range and provide 1% output-voltage accuracy. Both line regulation and load regulation are better achieved with the LM317A device than with standard fixed regulators. The LM317A offers full overload protection such as over current, thermal-overload protection, and safearea...
