PJ317

3-Terminal Adjustable Output Positive Voltage Regulator

T he PJ317 is adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage

regulator capable of supplying in excess of 1.5 A
external resistors to set the output voltage. Further,
employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and
it

over an output voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. This voltage safe area compensation, making it essentially blow-out
regulator is exceptionally easy to use and require only two proof.

CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC

STANDARD APPLICATION

* = Cin is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
** = Co is not needed for stability, however it does improve transient response.
Vout = 1.25 V (1 + R2 / R1 ) + IAdj R2
Since IAdj is controlled to less than 100 µA, the error associated with this term is negligible in most applications

BASIC CIRCUIT OPERATION

The PJ317 is a 3-terminal floating regulator. In Although the PJ317 is stable with no output capa-
operation, the PJ317 develops and maintains a nominal citance, like any feedback circuit , certain values of

programming current ( IPROG ) by R1 (see Figure 17), and this capacitance (CO) in the form of a 1 µF tantalum or 25 µF
constant current flows through R2 to ground. The regulated aluminum electrolytic capacitor on the output swamps this

impedance.
The adjustment terminal may be bypassed to ground The PJ317 is capable of providing extremely good

ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is maximum performance. For best performance, the

regulator as possible to minimize line drops which effectively
