Three Terminal Adjustable Output
Positive Voltage Regulators
PL317E3
The PL317E3 is an adjustable 3–terminal positive voltage regulator capable
of supplying in excess of 1.5 A over an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 37 V.
This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal current
limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it essentially
blow–out proof.
The PL317E3 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on-card
regulation. This device can also be used to make a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the
PL317E3 can be used as a precision current regulator.

Notes:1.Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Changes in VO due to heating effects must be
taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty cycle is used.
2.CAdj, when used, is connected between the adjustment pin and ground.
3.Since long-term stability cannot be measured on each device before shipment, this specification is an engineering
estimate of average stability from lot to lot.
4.Power dissipation within an IC voltage regulator produces a temperature gradient on the die, affecting individual IC
components on the die. These effects can be minimized by proper integrated circuit design and layout techniques.
Thermal regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on the output voltage and is expressed in percentage
of output change per watt of power change in a specified time.

Application Information
Basic Circuit Operation
The PL317 is a 3-terminal floating regulator. In operation, the PL317 develops and maintains a nominal
1.25V reference (Vref) between its output and adjustment terminals. This reference voltage is converted
to a programming current (Iprog) by R1(see Fig 5), and this constant current flows through R2 to ground.
The regulated output voltage is given by:
Vout=Vref(1+R2/R1)+IAdjR2
Since the current from the adjustment terminal (IAdj) represents an error term in the equation, the PL317
was designed to control IAdj to less than 100 µA and keep it constant. To do this, all quiescent operating
current is returned to the output terminal. This imposes the requirement for a minimum load current. If
the load current is less than this minimum, the output voltage will rise.
Since the PL317 is a floating regulator, it is only the voltage differential across the circuit which is
important to performance, and operation at high voltages with respect to ground is possible.

Load Regulation
The PL317 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation, but a few precautions are needed to
obtain maximum performance. For best performance, the programming resistor (R1) should be connected
as close to the regulator as possible to minimize line drops which effectively appear in series with the
reference, thereby degrading regulation. The ground end of R2 can be returned near the load ground to
provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.
External Capacitors
A 0.1µF disc or 1.0µF tantalum input bypass capacitor (Cin) is recommended to reduce the sensitivity to
input line impedance.
The adjustment terminal may be bypassed to ground to improve ripple rejection. This capacitor (CAdj)
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. A 10µF capacitor should improve
ripple rejection about 15 dB at 120 Hz in a 10V application.
Although the PL317 is stable with no output capacitance, like any feedback circuit, certain values of
external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. An output capacitance (Co) in the form of a 1.0µF
tantalum or 25µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor on the output swamps this effect and insures stability.
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.
Fig 6 shows the PL317 with the recommended protection diodes for output voltages in excess of 25V or
high capacitance values (Co>25µF,CAdj>10µF). Diode D1 prevents Co from discharging thru the IC
during an input short circuit. Diode D2 protects against capacitor CAdj discharging through the IC during
an output short circuit. The combination of diodes D1 and D2 prevents CAdj from discharging through the
IC during an input short circuit.
