General Description
Features
The LM133/LM333 are adjustable 3-terminal negative voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of b3.0A
over an output voltage range of b1.2V to b32V. These
regulators are exceptionally easy to apply, requiring only 2
external resistors to set the output voltage and 1 output
capacitor for frequency compensation. The circuit design
has been optimized for excellent regulation and low thermal
transients. Further, the LM133 series features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them substantially immune to failure from overloads.
The LM133/LM333 serve a wide variety of applications including local on-card regulation, programmable-output voltage regulation or precision current regulation. The LM133/
LM333 are ideal complements to the LM150/LM350 adjustable positive regulators.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device
outside of its stated operating conditions.
Note 2: All limits are guaranteed at either room temperature (standard type face) or at temperature extremes (bold typeface) by production testing or
correlation techniques using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified: l VIN b VOUT l e 5V, IOUT e 0.5A, PDISS s 30W.
Note 4: Load and line regulation are measured at constant junction temperature, using low duty cycle pulse testing (output voltage changes due to heating effects
are covered by the Thermal Regulation specification). For the TO-3 package, load regulation is measured on the output pin, (/8 below the base of the package.
Note 5: The output current of the LM333 is guaranteed to be t 3A in the range 3V s l VIN b VOUT l s 10V. For the range 10V s l VIN b VOUT l s 15V, the
guaranteed minimum output current is equal to: 30/ (VIN b VOUT). Refer to graphs for guaranteed output currents at other voltages.

THERMAL REGULATION
When power is dissipated in an IC, a temperature gradient
occurs across the IC chip affecting the individual IC circuit
components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be especially severe since the power dissipation is large. Thermal
regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on
output voltage (in percentage output change) per watt of
power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation error
is independent of electrical regulation or temperature coefficient, and occurs within 5 ms to 50 ms after a change in
power dissipation. Thermal regulation depends on IC layout
as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as the percentage change of VOUT,
