Description
The LM317L is a 3-terminal adjustable positive v oltage reg-
ulator capabl e of su pplyi ng in exce ss of 100mA over an out-
put voltage range of 1 .2V to 37V. This voltage regulator is
exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external
resistors to set the output voltage.

Electrical Characteristics
(VI - VO = 5V, IO = 40mA, 0°C TJ +125 °C, PDMAX = 625mW, unless otherwise specified)
Load and Line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Change in VO due to heating effects must be taken
into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty cycle is used.
