About this manual

The LM117 series of adjustable 3‑terminal positive voltage regulators can supply more than 1.5 A over a 1.2 V to 37 V output range. They require only two external resistors to set the output voltage and include current limit, thermal overload, and safe‑area protection.

Features include 1 % output voltage tolerance (LM317A), 0.01 %/V line regulation (LM317A), 0.3 % load regulation (LM117), 80 dB ripple rejection, and short‑circuit protection. The devices are offered in several TO‑3, TO‑220, TO‑263, SOT‑223, TO‑39, and other packages, each with specified current ratings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the reference voltage of the LM117 regulator?

The LM117 develops a nominal 1.25 V reference voltage between the output and adjustment terminals.

Which external capacitor improves transient response?

An optional output capacitor in the range of 1 µF to 1000 µF can be added to improve transient response.

Are the LM117/LM317 devices protected against short circuits?

Yes, the output is short‑circuit protected.
