Three Terminal Adjustable Output Positive Voltage Regulators

   The LM317LA3 is an adjustable 3–terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying in excess of 100mA 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 LM317LA3 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on-card regulation. This device can also be used to make a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the LM317LA3 can be used as a precision current regulator.
