LM350
Three-Terminal Adjustable
Output Positive Voltage
Regulator
The LM350 is an adjustable three–terminal positive voltage regulator
capable of supplying in excess of 3.0 A over an output voltage range of 1.2 V
to 33 V. This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only
two external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal
current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it
essentially blow–out proof.
The LM350 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on card
regulation. This device also makes an especially simple adjustable switching
regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor
between the adjustment and output, the LM350 can be used as a precision
current regulator.
