NSC LM120K

LM120/LM320
Series 3-Terminal Negative Regulators
General Description
The LM120 series are three-terminal negative regulators
with a fixed output voltage of b5V, b12V, and b15V, and
up to 1.5A load current capability. Where other voltages are
required, the LM137 and LM137HV series provide an output
voltage range of b1.2V to b47V.
The LM120 need only one external componentÐa compensation capacitor at the output, making them easy to apply.
Worst case guarantees on output voltage deviation due to
any combination of line, load or temperature variation assure satisfactory system operation.
Exceptional effort has been made to make the LM120 Series immune to overload conditions. The regulators have
current limiting which is independent of temperature, combined with thermal overload protection. Internal current limiting protects against momentary faults while thermal shutdown prevents junction temperatures from exceeding safe
limits during prolonged overloads.
Although primarily intended for fixed output voltage applications, the LM120 Series may be programmed for higher output voltages with a simple resistive divider. The low quiescent drain current of the devices allows this technique to be
used with good regulation.

*Required if regulator is separated from filter capacitor by more than 3× . For
value given, capacitor must be solid tantalum. 25 mF aluminum electrolytic
may be substituted.
² Required for stability. For value given, capacitor must be solid tantalum. 25
mF aluminum electrolytic may substituted. Values given may be increased
without limit.
For output capacitance in excess of 100 mF, a high current diode from
input to output (1N4001, etc.) will protect the regulator from momentary
input shorts.

Note 4: Thermal resistance of typically 85§ C/W (in 400 linear feet air flow), 224§ C/W (in static air) junction to ambient, of typically 21§ C/W junction to case.
Note 3: For b 5V 3 amp regulators, see LM145 data sheet.
Note 2: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects must be taken into account separately. To ensure constant junction temperature, low duty cycle, pulse testing is
used. The LM120/LM320 series does have low thermal feedback, improving line and load regulation. On all other tests, even though power dissipation is internally limited, electrical specifications apply only up to PD.
