The LM317LCDR from Texas Instruments is a versatile adjustable linear regulator delivering up to 100mA with an output range to 32V. Its low quiescent current and excellent ripple rejection make it ideal for battery-powered and precision analog circuits. The 8-SOIC package suits compact PCB layouts, while the classic three-terminal design simplifies external component selection.
- Adjustable Output Flexibility: Output voltage set with two resistors, enabling custom rails from 1.2V to 32V without changing parts.
- High Ripple Rejection: 80dB PSRR at 120Hz filters mains hum, critical for audio and instrumentation.
- Low Quiescent Current: 2.5mA idle current preserves battery life in portable devices.
- Compact SOIC-8 Package: Saves board space compared to TO-220 alternatives, ideal for dense designs.
Adjustable Power Supply for Op-Amps
Use the LM317LCDR to create a clean, adjustable rail (up to 32V) for precision analog circuits. Its 80dB PSRR at 120Hz effectively filters mains ripple, ensuring stable op-amp performance.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
With a low quiescent current of 2.5mA, this regulator extends battery life in portable meters and sensors while providing a stable reference voltage for ADC/DAC stages.
Microcontroller Logic Supply
Derive a precise 3.3V or 5V logic rail from a higher unregulated input. The adjustable output allows fine-tuning to match specific MCU voltage tolerances, reducing noise-induced resets.
Audio Preamplifier Bias
For low-noise audio preamps, the LM317LCDR's high PSRR (80dB) minimizes hum from the main supply, delivering a quiet bias voltage for JFET or BJT input stages.
Industrial Sensor Excitation
Provide a stable excitation voltage for bridge sensors (strain gauges, RTDs). The adjustable output compensates for line losses, improving measurement accuracy over long cable runs.
Reference Voltage for Comparators
Set a precise threshold voltage for comparators in threshold-detection circuits. The 1.2V minimum input-output differential ensures reliable operation even with low input margins.
