Description
The LM137 series are adjustable 3-terminal
negative voltage regulators capable of supplying
in excess -1.5 A over a -1.2 to -37 V output
voltage range. They are exceptionally easy to use
and require only two external resistors to set the
output voltage. Further, both line and load
regulation are better than standard fixed
regulators. Also, LM137 regulators are supplied in
standard transistor packages which are easily
mounted and handled. In addition to higher
performance than fixed regulators, the LM137
series offer full overload protection available only
in integrated circuits.

Included on the chip are current limit, thermal
overload protection and safe area protection. All
overload protection circuitry remains fully
functional even if the adjustment terminal is
disconnected.

LM137 - LM337
Thermal regulation
When power is dissipated in an IC, a temperature gradient occurs across the IC chip
affecting the individual IC circuit components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be
especially severe since power dissipation is large.
Thermal regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on output voltage (in
percentage output change) per watt of power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation
error is independent of electrical regulation or temperature coefficient, and occurs within 5
ms to 50 ms after a change in power dissipation. Thermal regulation depends on IC layout
as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as the
percentage change of VO, per watt, within the first 10ms after a step of power, is applied.
The LM137 specification is 0.02 %/W max. In Figure 1, a typical LM337’s output drifts only 3
mV for 0.03% of VO = – 10 V) when a 10 W pulse is applied for 10 ms. This performance is
thus well inside the specification limit of 0.02 %/W x 10 W = 0.2% max. When the 10 W
pulse is ended the thermal regulation again shows a 3 mV step as the LM137 chip cools off.
Note that the load regulation error of about 8 mV (0.08 %) is additional to the thermal
regulation error.
In Figure 2, when the 10 W pulse is applied for 100 ms, the output drifts only slightly beyond
the drift in the first 10 ms and the thermal error stays well within 0.1% (10 mV).
