DESCRIPTION
n
The LT®137A/LT337A negative adjustable regulators will
deliver up to 1.5A output current over an output voltage
range of –1.2V to –37V. Linear Technology has made
significant improvements in these regulators compared to
previous devices, such as better line and load regulation,
and a maximum output voltage error of 1%.

Every effort has been made to make these devices easy
to use and difficult to damage. Internal current and power
limiting coupled with true thermal limiting prevents device
damage due to overloads or shorts, even if the regulator
is not fastened to a heat sink.

Maximum reliability is attained with Linear Technology’s
advanced processing techniques combined with a 100%
burn-in in the thermal limit mode. This assures that all
device protection circuits are working and eliminates field
failures experienced with other regulators that receive only
standard electrical testing.

specifications apply for power dissipation up to 2W for the H package and
20W for the K and T packages. IMAX = 1.5A for the K, M, and T packages,

Note 4: Testing is done using a pulsed low duty cycle technique. See
thermal regulation specifications for output changes due to heating effects.
Load regulation is measured on the output pin at a point 1/8" below the
base of the K and H package and at the junction of the wide and narrow
portion of the lead on the M and T package.
Note 5: Load regulation for the LT337AT is the same as for LM337T.
Note 6: Guaranteed on LT137A and LT337A, but not 100% tested in
production.
Note 7: ISC is tested at the ambient temperatures of 25°C and –55°C. ISC
cannot be tested at the maximum ambient temperature of 150°C due to the
high power level required. ISC specification at 150°C ambient is guaranteed
by characterization and correlation to 25°C testing.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage
EXAMPLES:
The output voltage is determined by two external resistors, R1 and R2 (see Figure 1). The exact formula for the
output voltage is:
1. A precision 10V regulator to supply up to 1A load
current.
⎛ R2 ⎞
VOUT = VREF ⎜ 1+ ⎟ + IADJ (R2)
⎝ R1⎠
b. Calculate R2 =
Where: VREF = Reference Voltage, IADJ = Adjustment Pin
Current. In most applications, the second term is small
enough to be ignored, typically about 0.5% of VOUT. In
more critical applications, the exact formula should be
used, with IADJ equal to 65μA. Solving for R2 yields:
R2 =
VOUT – VREF
VREF
+I
R1 ADJ
The maximum value for the operating current, which must
be absorbed, is 5mA for the LT137A. If input-output voltage differential is less than 10V, the operating current that
must be absorbed drops to 3mA.

2. A 15V regulator to run off batteries and supply

a. To minimize battery drain, select R1 as high as
possible
Smaller values of R1 and R2 will reduce the influence
of IADJ on the output voltage, but the no-load current
drain on the regulator will be increased. Typical values
for R1 are between 100Ω and 300Ω, giving 12.5mA and
4.2mA no-load current respectively. There is an additional
consideration in selecting R1, the minimum load current
specification of the regulator. The operating current of the
LT137A flows from input to output. If this current is not
absorbed by the load, the output of the regulator will rise
above the regulated value. The current drawn by R1 and
R2 is normally high enough to absorb the current, but
care must be taken in no-load situations where R1 and
R2 have high values.

Capacitors and Protection Diodes
An output capacitor, C3, is required to provide proper frequency compensation of the regulator feedback loop. A 1μF
or larger solid tantalum capacitor is generally sufficient for
this purpose if the 1MHz impedance of the capacitor is 2Ω
or less. High Q capacitors, such as Mylar, are not recommended because they tend to reduce the phase margin at
light load currents. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors may
also be used, but the minimum value should be 10μF to
ensure a low impedance at 1MHz. The output capacitor
should be located within a few inches of the regulator to
keep lead impedance to a minimum. The following caution
should be noted: if the output voltage is greater than 6V
and an output capacitor greater than 20μF has been used,
it is possible to damage the regulator if the input voltage
137afb

LT137A/LM137
LT337A/LM337
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
becomes shorted, due to the output capacitor discharging
into the regulator. This can be prevented by using the diode
D1 (see Figure 2) between the input and the output.
The input capacitor, C2, is only required if the regulator is
more than 4 inches from the raw supply filter capacitor.
Bypassing the Adjustment Pin
The adjustment pin of the LT137A may be bypassed with a
capacitor to ground, C1, to reduce output ripple, noise, and
impedance. These parameters scale directly with output
voltage if the adjustment pin is not bypassed. A bypass
capacitor reduces ripple, noise, and impedance to that of
a 1.25V regulator. In a 15V regulator, for example, these
parameters are improved by 15V/1.25V = 12 to 1. This
improvement holds only for those frequencies where the
impedance of the bypass capacitor is less than R1. Ten
microfarads is generally sufficient for 60Hz power line
applications where the ripple frequency is 120Hz since
XC = 130Ω. The capacitor should have a voltage rating at
least as high as the output voltage of the regulator. Values
larger than 10μF may be used, but if the output is larger
than 25V, a diode, D2, should be added between the output
and adjustment pins (see Figure 2).
Proper Connection of Divider Resistors
The LT137A has an excellent load regulation specification
of 0.5% and is measured at a point 1/8" from the bottom
of the package. To prevent degradation of load regulation,
the resistors which set output voltage, R1 and R2, must be
connected as shown in Figure 3. Note that the positive side
of the load has a true force and sense (Kelvin) connection,
but the negative side of the load does not.
R1 should be connected directly to the output lead of the
regulator, as close as possible to the specified point 1/8"
from the case. R2 should be connected to the positive
side of the load separately from the positive (ground)
connection to the raw supply. With this arrangement, load
regulation is degraded only by the resistance between the
regulator output pin and the load. If R1 is connected to
the load, regulation will be degraded.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
A high stability regulator is illustrated in the application
circuit shown to the right. The output stability, load regulation, line regulation, thermal regulation, temperature drift,
long term drift, and noise can be improved by a factor of
6.6 over the standard regulator configuration. This assumes
a zener whose drift and noise is considerably better than
the regulator itself. The LM329B has 20ppm/°C maximum
drift and about 10 times lower noise than the regulator.
In the application shown below, regulators #2 to “N” will
track regulator #1 to within ±24mV initially, and to ±60mV
over all load, line, and temperature conditions. If any
regulator output is shorted to ground, all other outputs will
drop to approximately ≈ –2V. Load regulation of regulators 2 to “N” will be improved by VOUT/1.25V compared
to a standard regulator, so regulator #1 should be the one
which has the lowest load current.
