LM338 Datasheet (Linear Technology) - 5A Positive Adjustable Voltage Regulator

LM338, 5A Positive Adjustable Voltage Regulator

The LT®138A series of adjustable regulators provide 5A output current over an output voltage range of 1.2V to 32V.

The internal voltage reference is trimmed to less than 1%, enabling a very tight output voltage.

In addition to excellent line and load regulation, with full overload protection, the LT
