Specifications

• The LM317M is an adjustable three−terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying in excess of 500 mA over an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 37 V.
• This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage.
• Further, it employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it essentially blow−out proof. The LM317M serves a wide variety of applications including local, on−card regulation. This device also makes an especially simple
• adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the LM317M can be used as a precision current regulator.
