Description
The LM137 series are adjustable 3-terminal
negative voltage regulators capable of supplying
in excess -1.5 A over a -1.2 to -37 V output
voltage range. They are exceptionally easy to use
and require only two external resistors to set the
output voltage. Further, both line and load
regulation are better than standard fixed
regulators. Also, LM137 regulators are supplied in
standard transistor packages which are easily
mounted and handled. In addition to higher
performance than fixed regulators, the LM137
series offer full overload protection available only
in integrated circuits.
Included on the chip are current limit, thermal
overload protection and safe area protection. All
overload protection circuitry remains fully
functional even if the adjustment terminal is
disconnected.
