Minimum operating current LM217M - LM317M 6 Application information Application information The LM217M/LM317M provide an internal reference voltage of 1.25 V between the output and adjustment terminals. These devices are used to set a constant current flow across an external resistor divider (see Figure 6), giving an output voltage VO of: VO = VREF (1 + R2 / R1) + IADJ R2. The devices were designed to minimize the term IADJ (100 A max) and to maintain it very constant in line and load changes. Usually, the error term IADJ x R2 can be neglected. To obtain the previous requirement, all the regulator quiescent current is returned to the output terminal, imposing a minimum load current condition. If the load is insufficient, the output voltage will rise. Since the LM217M/LM317M devices are floating regulators and "see" only the input-tooutput differential voltage, supplies of very high voltage with respect to ground can be regulated as long as the maximum input-to-output differential is not exceeded. Furthermore, programmable regulators are easily obtained and, by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the devices can be used as a precision current regulator. In order to optimize the load regulation, the current set resistor R1 (see Figure 6) should be tied as close as possible to the regulator, while the ground terminal of R2 should be near the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing. 6.1 External capacitors (Figure 8) Normally no capacitors are needed unless the devices are situated far from the input filter capacitors; in which case an input bypass is needed. A 0.1 F disc or 1 F tantalum input bypass capacitor (CI) is recommended to reduce the sensitivity to input line impedance. The adjustment terminal may be bypassed to ground to improve ripple rejection. This capacitor (CADJ) prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. A 10 F capacitor should improve ripple rejection of about 80 dB at 120 Hz in a 10 V application. Although the LM217M/LM317M devices are stable with no output capacitance like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. An output capacitance (CO) in the form of a 1 F tantalum or 25 F aluminium electrolytic capacitor on the output swamps this effect and insures stability. 6.2 Protection diodes (Figure 8) When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent the capacitors from discharging through low current points into the regulator. Figure 6 shows the LM217M/LM317M with the recommended protection diodes for output voltages in excess of 25 V or high capacitance values (C3 > 25 F, C2 > 10 F). Diode D1 prevents C3 from discharging through the IC during an input short-circuit. The combination of diodes D1 and D2 prevents C2 from discharging through the regulator during an input or output short-circuit. 6.3 Start-up block It's not guaranteed the Re-Boot of the device when the junction temperature is over 85 C. 9/21 Application circuits 7 Application circuits Figure 8.
