LM117/LM317A/LM317 3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator General Description The LM117 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over a 1.2V to 37V output 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, the LM117 is packaged in standard transistor packages which are easily mounted and handled. In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the LM117 series offers full overload protection available only in IC's. 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. Normally, 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 which are difficult to achieve with standard 3-terminal regulators. Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM117 is useful in a wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is “floating” and sees 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, i.e., avoid short-circuiting the output. Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment pin and output, the LM117 can be 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 1.2V where most loads draw little current. For applications requiring greater output current, see LM150 series (3A) and LM138 series (5A) data sheets. For the negative complement, see LM137 series data sheet.

The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of LOAD REGULATION The LM117 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 240Ω) should be tied directly to the output (case) of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with 0.05Ω resistance between the regulator and load will have a load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05Ω × IL. If the set resistor is connected near the load the effective line resistance will be 0.05Ω (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times worse. Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 240Ω set resistor. (1) 906305 FIGURE 1. Since the 100μA current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM117 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. 906306 FIGURE 2. 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-39 package, care should 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. EXTERNAL CAPACITORS An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1μF disc or 1μF 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 LM117 to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. With a 10 μF bypass capacitor 80dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10 μF do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies above 120Hz. 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 1μF solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies; but 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 LM117 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 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 20A 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 LM117, this discharge path is through a large junction that is able to sustain 15A 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 LM117 is a 50Ω resistor which limits the peak discharge current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V or less and 10 μF capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM117 with protection 9 www.national.com LM117/LM317A/LM317 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. Application Hints LM117/LM317A/LM317 diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25V and high values of output capacitance. 906360 FIGURE 4. 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 the formula: 906307 (2) D1 protects against C1 D2 protects against C2 FIGURE 3. Regulator with Protection Diodes HEATSINK REQUIREMENTS The LM317 regulators have internal thermal shutdown to protect the device from over-heating. Under all operating conditions, the junction temperature of the LM317 should not exceed the rated maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150° C for the LM117, or 125°C for the LM317A and LM317. 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 calculated: PD = ((VIN − VOUT) × IL) + (VIN × IG) θHA ≤ (θJA - (θCH + θJC)) where (θCH is the thermal resistance of the contact area between the device case and the heatsink surface, and θJC is thermal resistance from the junction of the die to surface of the package case. When a value for θ(H−A) 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 θ(H−A) 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. (3) Figure 4 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): TR(MAX) = TJ(MAX) − TA(MAX) HEATSINKING SURFACE MOUNT PACKAGES The TO-263 (S), SOT-223 (EMP) and TO-252 (MDT) 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. (4) HEATSINKING THE SOT-223 PACKAGE Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 6 assumes a θ(J−A) of 74°C/W for 1 ounce copper and 51°C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125°C. Please see AN-1028 for thermal enhancement techniques to be used with SOT-223 and TO-252 packages. where TJ(MAX) is the maximum allowable junction temperature (150°C for the LM117, or 125°C for the LM317A/LM317), and TA(MAX) is the maximum ambient temperature which 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: θJA = (TR(MAX) / PD) www.national.com (6) (5) 10 LM117/LM317A/LM317 906357 906355 FIGURE 7. θ(J−A) vs Copper (1 ounce) Area for the TO-263 Package FIGURE 5. θ(J−A) vs Copper (2 ounce) Area for the SOT-223 Package As a design aid, Figure 8 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for the TO-263 device (assuming θ(J−A) is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C). 906358 FIGURE 6. Maximum Power Dissipation vs TAMB for the SOT-223 Package HEATSINKING THE TO-263 PACKAGE Figure 7 shows for the TO-263 the measured values of θ(J −A) for different copper area sizes using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for heatsinking. As shown in Figure 7, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. It should also be observed that the minimum value of θ(J−A) for the TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32°C/W. 906356 FIGURE 8. Maximum Power Dissipation vs TAMB for the TO-263 Package HEATSINKING THE TO-252 PACKAGE If the maximum allowable value for θJA is found to be ≥103° C/W (Typical Rated Value) for TO-252 package, no heatsink is needed since 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 1 shows the value of the θJA of TO-252 for different heatsink area. The copper patterns that we used to measure these θJAs are shown at the end of the Application Notes Section. Figure 9 reflects the same test results as what are in Table 1.
