The LM317H from National Semiconductor is a high-performance adjustable linear regulator delivering up to 1.5A with an output range of 1.25V to 37V. Encased in a TO-3 metal package, it offers superior thermal dissipation for demanding applications. With a PSRR of 80dB and low quiescent current, it ensures clean, stable power for audio, industrial, and laboratory equipment.
- High Current in TO-3: 1.5A capability with excellent heat sinking for continuous duty.
- Wide Voltage Range: 1.25V to 37V adjustable output covers most low-voltage applications.
- Superior Ripple Rejection: 80dB PSRR at 120Hz for noise-sensitive circuits.
- Low Quiescent Current: 10 mA minimizes power loss in battery-powered designs.
High-Current Adjustable Supply
Build a robust 1.5A adjustable power supply for hobbyist and lab use. The TO-3 package allows mounting on large heatsinks for continuous operation.
Audio Amplifier Power Stage
Supply clean DC rails to class-A or class-AB amplifiers. The 80dB PSRR at 120Hz ensures minimal hum and noise in the audio path.
Battery Management Systems
Use as a precision voltage source for battery charging or cell balancing circuits. The adjustable output matches various battery chemistries.
Test and Measurement Equipment
Provide stable reference voltages for multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators. Low quiescent current (10 mA) maintains accuracy.
Industrial Power Distribution
Regulate 24V industrial supplies down to 5V or 3.3V for logic circuits. The TO-3 package handles high ambient temperatures.
Solar Charge Controllers
Regulate variable solar panel output to a stable voltage for battery charging. The wide input range accommodates changing sunlight conditions.
