Description
The LM138, LM338 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. The LM138, LM338 family is supplied in a standard 3-lead transistor package.
