•
The LM117 and LM317-N series of adjustable 3-pin
positive voltage regulators are capable of supplying in
excess of 1.5 A over a 1.25-V to 37-V output range
and a wide temperature 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.

Typical Application
LM317-N
The LM117 and LM317-N offer full overload
protection such as current limit, thermal overload
protection and safe area protection. All overload
protection circuitry remains fully functional even if the
adjustment terminal is disconnected.
Typically, no capacitors are needed unless the device
is situated more than 6 inches from the input filter
capacitors, in which case an input bypass is needed.
An optional output capacitor can be added to improve
transient response. The adjustment terminal can be
bypassed to achieve very high ripple rejection ratios
that are difficult to achieve with standard 3-terminal
regulators.
Because the regulator is floating and detects only the
input-to-output differential voltage, supplies of several
hundred volts can be regulated as long as the
maximum input-to-output differential is not exceeded.
That is, avoid short-circuiting the output.
By connecting a fixed resistor between the
adjustment pin and output, the LM117 and LM317-N
can be also used as a precision current regulator.
Supplies with electronic shutdown can be achieved
by clamping the adjustment terminal to ground, which
programs the output to 1.25 V where most loads draw
little current.
*Needed if device is more than 6 inches from filter
capacitors.
For applications requiring greater output current, see
data sheets for LM150 series (3 A), SNVS772, and
LM138 series (5 A), SNVS771. For the negative
complement, see LM137 (SNVS778) series data
sheet.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
In operation, the LM317-N develops a nominal 1.25-V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and
adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, because the voltage is
constant, a constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage calculated
by Equation 1:
æ R2 ö
VOUT = 1.25 V ç 1 +
+ I ADJ (R2 )
R1 ÷ø
è
(1)
LM317-N
Figure 15. Setting the VOUT Voltage
Because the 100-μA current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM317-N was designed
to minimize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current
is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If there is insufficient load on the
output, the output will rise.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Load Regulation
The LM317-N is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain
maximum performance. The current set resistor, R1, must be connected near the output terminal of the regulator
rather than near the load. If R1 is placed too far from the output terminal, then the increased trace resistance, RS,
will cause an error voltage drop in the adjustment loop and degrade load regulation performance. Therefore, R1
must be placed as close as possible to the output terminal to minimize RS and maximize load regulation
performance.
Figure 16 shows the effect of the trace resistance, RS, when R1 is placed far from the output terminal of the
regulator. It is clear that RS will cause an error voltage drop especially during higher current loads, so it is
important to minimize the RS trace resistance by keeping R1 close to the regulator output terminal.
LM317-N
Figure 16. Regulator With Line Resistance in Output Lead
With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance from the case to the set resistor, by using two
separate leads to the case. However, with the TO package, care must be taken to minimize the wire length of the
output lead. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing
and improve load regulation.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 External Capacitors
An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1-μF disc or 1-μF solid tantalum on the input is suitable input
bypassing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive to the absence of input bypassing when
adjustment or output capacitors are used, but the above values will eliminate the possibility of problems.
The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the LM317-N to improve ripple rejection. This bypass
capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. With a 10-μF bypass capacitor,
80-dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10 μF do not appreciably improve the
ripple rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes necessary to
include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through internal low current paths and
damaging the device.
In general, the best type of capacitors to use is solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance
even at high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it takes about 25 μF in aluminum electrolytic to
equal 1-μF solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies. However,
some types have a large decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this reason, 0.01-μF disc
may seem to work better than a 0.1-μF disc as a bypass.
Although the LM317-N is stable with no output capacitors, like any feedback circuit, certain values of external
capacitance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1-μF solid
tantalum (or 25-μF aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and insures stability. Any increase of
the load capacitance larger than 10 μF will merely improve the loop stability and output impedance.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.2 Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator, it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to
prevent the capacitors from discharging through low current points into the regulator. Most 10-μF capacitors have
low enough internal series resistance to deliver 20-A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is
enough energy to damage parts of the IC.
When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge
into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage
of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM317-N, this discharge path is through a large junction
that is able to sustain 15-A surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of positive regulators. For
output capacitors of 25 μF or less, there is no need to use diodes.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input, or the output, is shorted. Internal to the LM317-N is a 50-Ω resistor which limits the peak
discharge current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25 V or less and 10-μF capacitance. Figure 17
shows an LM317-N with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25 V and high values of
output capacitance.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers must
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LM117 and LM317-N are versatile, high performance, linear regulators with high accuracy and a wide
temperature range. An output capacitor can be added to further improve transient response, and the ADJ pin can
be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios. Its functionality can be utilized in many different
applications that require high performance regulation, such as battery chargers, constant current regulators, and
microprocessor supplies.
9.2 Typical Applications
9.2.1 1.25-V to 25-V Adjustable Regulator
The LM117 can be used as a simple, low-dropout regulator to enable a variety of output voltages needed for
demanding applications. By using an adjustable R2 resistor, a variety of output voltages can be made possible
as shown in Figure 18.

*Needed if device is more than 6 inches from filter capacitors.
†Optional—improves transient response. Output capacitors in the range of 1 μF to 1000 μF of aluminum or tantalum
electrolytic are commonly used to provide improved output impedance and rejection of transients.
Figure 18. 1.25-V to 25-V Adjustable Regulator
9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage divider circuit and an
output capacitor for load regulation. An input capacitor is needed if the device is more than 6 inches from filter
capacitors. An optional bypass capacitor across R2 can also be used to improve PSRR.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The output voltage is set based on the selection of the two resistors, R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 18. For
details on capacitor selection, refer to External Capacitors.

9.2.2 5-V Logic Regulator With Electronic Shutdown
Figure 20 shows a variation of the 5-V output regulator application uses the L117 along with an NPN transistor to
provide shutdown control. The NPN will either block or sink the current from the ADJ pin by responding to the
TTL pin logic. When TTL is pulled high, the NPN is on and pulls the ADJ pin to GND, and the LM117 outputs
about
1.25 V. When TTL is pulled low, the NPN is off and the regulator outputs according to the programmed
adjustable voltage.

9.2.3 Slow Turnon 15-V Regulator
An application of LM117 includes a PNP transistor with a capacitor to implement slow turnon functionality (see
Figure 21). As VIN rises, the PNP sinks current from the ADJ rail. The output voltage at start up is the addition of
the 1.25-V reference plus the drop across the base to emitter. While this is happening, the capacitor begins to
charge and eventually opens the PNP. At this point, the device functions normally, regulating the output at 15 V.
A diode is placed between C1 and VOUT to provide a path for the capacitor to discharge. Such controlled turnon
is useful for limiting the in-rush current.

9.2.4 Adjustable Regulator With Improved Ripple Rejection
To improve ripple rejection, a capacitor is used to bypass the ADJ pin to GND (see Figure 22). This is used to
smooth output ripple by cleaning the feedback path and stopping unnecessary noise from being fed back into the
device, propagating the noise.

Using the LM195 power transistor in parallel with the LM117 can increase the maximum possible output load
current (see Figure 24). Sense resistor R1 provides the 0.6 V across base to emitter to turn on the PNP. This on
switch allows current to flow, and the voltage drop across R3 drives three LM195 power transistors designed to
carry an excess of 1 A each.
NOTE
The selection of R1 determines a minimum load current for the PNP to turn on. The higher
the resistor value, the lower the load current must be before the transistors turn on.

the load.

9.2.11 Current-Limited Voltage Regulator
A maximum limit on output current can be set using the circuit shown in Figure 29. The load current travels
through R3 and R4. As the load current increases, the voltage drop across R3 increases until the NPN transistor
is driven, during which the ADJ pin is pulled down to ground and the output voltage is pulled down to the
reference voltage of 1.25 V.

9.2.12 Adjusting Multiple On-Card Regulators With Single Control
Figure 30 shows how multiple LM117 regulators can be controlled by setting one resistor. Because each device
maintains the reference voltage of about 1.25 V between its VOUT and ADJ pins, we can connect each ADJ rail to
a single resistor, setting the same output voltage across all devices. This allows for independent outputs, each
responding to its corresponding input only. Designers must also consider that by the nature of the circuit,
changes to R1 and R2 will affect all regulators.

In Figure 31, the top regulator is +6 V above the bottom regulator. It is clear that when the input rises above +6 V
plus the dropout voltage, only the top LM317-N regulates +6 V at the output. When the input falls below –6 V
minus the dropout voltage, only the bottom LM317-N regulates –6 V at the output. For regions where the output
is not clipped, there is no regulation taking place, so the output follows the input.

9.2.14 12-V Battery Charger
The LM317-N can be used in a battery charger application shown in Figure 32, where the device maintains either
constant voltage or constant current mode depending on the current charge of the battery. To do this, the part
senses the voltage drop across the battery and delivers the maximum charging current necessary to charge the
battery. When the battery charge is low, there exists a voltage drop across the sense resistor RS, providing
constant current to the battery at that instant. As the battery approaches full charge, the potential drop across RS
approaches zero, reducing the current and maintaining the fixed voltage of the battery.

Use of RS allows low charging rates with fully charged battery.

Using three LM317-N devices in parallel increases load current capability (Figure 33). Output voltage is set by
the variable resistor tied to the non-inverting terminal of the operational amplifier, and reference current to the
transistor is developed across the 100 Ω resistor. When output voltage rises, the operational amplifier corrects by
drawing current from the base, closing the transistor. This effectively pulls ADJ down and lowers the output
voltage through negative feedback.

9.2.16 Current-Limited 6-V Charger
The current in a battery charger application is limited by switching between constant current and constant voltage
states (see Figure 34). When the battery pulls low current, the drop across the 1 Ω resistor is not substantial and
the NPN remains off. A constant voltage is seen across the battery, as regulated by the resistor divider. When
current through the battery rises past peak current, the 1 Ω provides enough voltage to turn the transistor on,
pulling ADJ close to ground. This results in limiting the maximum current to the battery.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The input supply to the LM117 and LM317-N must be kept at a voltage level such that its maximum input to
output differential voltage is not exceeded. The minimum dropout voltage must also be met with extra headroom
when possible to keep the LM117 and LM317-N in regulation. An input capacitor is recommended, especially
when the input pin is located more than 6 inches away from the power supply source. For more information
regarding capacitor selection, refer to External Capacitors.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Some layout guidelines must be followed to ensure proper regulation of the output voltage with minimum noise.
Traces carrying the load current must be wide to reduce the amount of parasitic trace inductance and the
feedback loop from VOUT to ADJ must be kept as short as possible. To improve PSRR, a bypass capacitor can
be placed at the ADJ pin and must be located as close as possible to the IC. In cases when VIN shorts to ground,
an external diode must be placed from VOUT to VIN to divert the surge current from the output capacitor and
protect the IC. Similarly, in cases when a large bypass capacitor is placed at the ADJ pin and VOUT shorts to
ground, an external diode must be placed from ADJ to VOUT to provide a path for the bypass capacitor to
discharge. These diodes must be placed close to the corresponding IC pins to increase their effectiveness.

11.3 Thermal Considerations
11.3.1 Heatsink Requirements
The LM317-N regulators have internal thermal shutdown to protect the device from over-heating. Under all
operating conditions, the junction temperature of the LM317-N must not exceed the rated maximum junction
temperature (TJ) of 150°C for the LM117, or 125°C for the LM317-N. A heatsink may be required depending on
the maximum device power dissipation and the maximum ambient temperature of the application. To determine if
a heatsink is needed, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be calculate with Equation 3:
PD = ((VIN − VOUT) × IL) + (VIN × IG)
(3)
Figure 38 shows the voltage and currents which are present in the circuit.
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR(MAX) in Equation 4:
TR(MAX) = TJ(MAX) − TA(MAX)
(4)
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum allowable junction temperature (150°C for the LM117, or 125°C for the LM317-N),
and TA(MAX) is the maximum ambient temperature that will be encountered in the application.
Using the calculated values for TR(MAX) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance (θJA) can be calculated with Equation 5:
θJA = (TR(MAX) / PD)

Thermal Considerations (continued)
Figure 38. Power Dissipation Diagram
If the calculated maximum allowable thermal resistance is higher than the actual package rating, then no
additional work is needed. If the calculated maximum allowable thermal resistance is lower than the actual
package rating either the power dissipation (PD) needs to be reduced, the maximum ambient temperature TA(MAX)
needs to be reduced, the thermal resistance (θJA) must be lowered by adding a heatsink, or some combination of
these.
If a heatsink is needed, the value can be calculated from Equation 6:
θHA ≤ (θJA – (θCH + θJC))
where
•
•
θCH is the thermal resistance of the contact area between the device case and the heatsink surface
θJC is thermal resistance from the junction of the die to surface of the package case
(6)
When a value for θHA is found using the equation shown, a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is
less than, or equal to, this number.
The θHA rating is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer in the catalog, or shown in a curve that plots
temperature rise vs power dissipation for the heatsink.
11.3.2 Heatsinking Surface Mount Packages
The TO-263 (KTT), SOT-223 (DCY) and TO-252 (NDP) packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB
itself as a heatsink. To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the package to
the plane.
11.3.2.1 Heatsinking the SOT-223 (DCY) Package
Figure 39 and Figure 40 show the information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 40 assumes a θJA of 74°C/W for
1-oz. copper and 59.6°C/W for 2-oz. copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125°C. See AN-1028
(SNVA036) for thermal enhancement techniques to be used with SOT-223 and TO-252 packages.

As shown in Figure 41, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. It
must also be observed that the minimum value of θJA for the TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32°C/W.

If the maximum allowable value for θJA is found to be ≥ 54°C/W (typical rated value) for the TO-252 package, no
heatsink is needed because the package alone will dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements. If the
calculated value for θJA falls below these limits, a heatsink is required.
As a design aid, Table 2 shows the value of the θJA of NDP the package for different heatsink area. The copper

what are in Table 2.

information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
