LM137HV/LM337HV
3-Terminal Adjustable Negative Regulators
(High Voltage)
General Description
The LM137HV/LM337HV are adjustable 3-terminal negative
voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of 鈭?.5A
over an output voltage range of 鈭?.2V to 鈭?7V. These regu-
lators are exceptionally easy to apply, requiring only 2 exter-
nal resistors to set the output voltage and 1 output capacitor
for frequency compensation. The circuit design has been op-
timized for excellent regulation and low thermal transients.
Further, the LM137HV series features internal current limit-
ing, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making
them virtually blowout-proof against overloads.
The LM137HV/LM337HV serve a wide variety of applica-
tions
including
local
on-card
regulation,
programmable-output voltage regulation or precision current
regulation. The LM137HV/LM337HV are ideal complements
to the LM117HV/LM317HV adjustable positive regulators.

C1 = 1 碌F solid tantalum or 10 碌F aluminum electrolytic required for stability. Output capacitors in the range of 1 碌F to 1000 碌F of aluminum or tantalum
electrolytic are commonly used to provide improved output impedance and rejection of transients.
*
C2 = 1 碌F solid tantalum is required only if regulator is more than 4" from power-supply filter capacitor.
