Description
The LM317M is a 3-terminal adjustabl e positi ve voltage
regulator capable of supplying in excess of 500mA over an
output 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.

2. Assume no ambient airflow.
3. Load and Line regulation are speci fie d 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.
4. CADJ, when used, is connected between the adjustment pin and ground.
