About this manual

The LM104 series are precision voltage regulators designed to supply any voltage from 40V down to zero while operating from a single unregulated supply. They can also provide high-precision regulation in circuits using a separate floating bias supply. Although primarily designed as linear, series regulators, the circuits can be used as switching regulators or current regulators.
