The LM317KCS is a 3-terminal adjustable Positive Voltage Regulator capable of supplying more than 1.5A over an output-voltage range of 1.25V to 37V. It requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. This voltage regulator features a typical line regulation of 0.01% and typical load regulation of 0.1%. It includes current limiting, thermal overload protection and safe operating area protection. Overload protection remains functional even if the ADJUST terminal is disconnected.
Internal short-circuit current limit
Thermal overload protection
Output safe-area compensation
This device has limited built-in ESD protection, leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
