What is LM317?
The LM317 are adjustable 3-terminal positive-voltage regulators capable of supplying 1.5A over a differential voltage range of 3V to 40V. They are exceptionally easy to use and require only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Both input and output regulation is better than standard fixed regulators.
In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, these regulators offer full overload protection available only in integrated circuits. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal overload protection, and safe-area protection. All overload protection circuit remains fully functional even if the adjustment terminal is disconnected. Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is situated far from the input filter capacitors in which case an input bypass is needed.
The LM317 can handle a wide range of input voltages, up to 40 volts, and can provide output voltages ranging from 1.2 volts to 37 volts with a maximum current of 1.5 amps. It has built-in protection features such as thermal shutdown and current limiting to prevent damage to the device and the circuit it is connected to.
This device is commonly used in power supply circuits, battery charging circuits, and voltage regulation applications where a stable and adjustable output voltage is required. It is also used in audio amplifiers, signal generators, and other electronic devices.
