LM317 voltage regulator: Pinout, CALCULATOR, and circuits

 In the event, we need to build a variable DC power supply that output of 1A and can adjust up to about 30V.

 Most people will use LM317 because of high-efficiency, easy to apply, and cheaper.

 Is it really? You find out below.

 LM317 Datasheet

o It has an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator designed to supply more than 1.5 A of load current with
an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2V to 37V range.

o It has an internal current limiting; temperature detects shutdown and safe area compensation.

 Basic Features

o Output current in excess of 1.5A

o Output-Adjustable between 1.2V and 37V

o Internal Short-Circuit Current Limiting or Output is short-circuit protected

o Internal Thermal Overload Protection or Current limit constant with temperature

o Output-Transistor Safe Operating Area Compensation

o TO-220 Package like 2SC1061 transistors.

o There are 1% output voltage Durability

o There are max. 0.01%/V line regulation(LM317), and 0.3% load regulation (LM117)

o There are 80 dB ripple rejection

 Basic circuit diagram

o If the power supply filter has distance from IC-regulator too much. Tt should insert Ci to lower noise before IC-
input.

o Next in the figure circuit. The Co is not needs if you do not high-efficiency, but we put it better. It will keep lower
an output ripple.

o As Iadj is controlled to less than 100uA, the little error Unimportant in most applications.

o The input voltage to the LM317 must be at least 1.5v greater than the output voltage.

 LM317 calculator

o This calculator will work for most DC Voltage Regulators with a reference voltage (VREF) of 1.25. Typically, the
program resistor (R1) is 240 ohms for the LM117, LM317, LM138, and LM150

o Some said Iadj is very low current.
