LM150
Description
The LM150 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 3A over a 1 2V to 33V output range They are exceptionally easy to use and require only 2 external resistors to set the output voltage Further both line and load regulation are parable to discrete designs Also the LM150 is packaged in standard transistor packages which are easily mounted and handled
In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators the LM150 series offers full overload protection available only in IC’s 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 accidentally disconnected
Normally no capacitors are needed unless the device is situated more than 6 inches from the input filter capacitors in which case an input bypass is needed An output capacitor can be added to improve transient response while bypassing the...
