LM117/LM317A/LM317 General Description The LM117 series of adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over a 1.2V to 37V output 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, the LM117 is packaged in standard transistor packages which are easily mounted and handled. In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the LM117 series offers full overload protection available only in ICs. 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 ter- minal is 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 optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response. The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple rejection ratios which are difficult to achieve with stan- dard 3-terminal regulators. Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM117 is useful ina wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is floating and sees only the input-to-output differential volt- age, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as jong as the maximum input to output differential is not ex- ceeded, i.e., avoid short-circuiting the output. Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching reg- ulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment pin and output, the LM117 can be used as a precision current regulator. Sup- plies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by clamping AY national Semiconductor May 1996 3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator the adjustment terminal to ground which programs the out- put to 1.2V where most loads draw little current. For applications requiring greater output current, see LM150 series (3A) and LM138 series (5A) data sheets. For the neg- ative complement, see LM137 series data sheet.

The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant current ly then flows through the output set resistor R2, giv- ing an output voltage of R2 Vout = Vrer (: + me) + lapyR2 LMt17 ome Vin = YouT ADJ ri VREF Vout TUH/9063-5 FIGURE 1 Since the 100 A current from the adjustment terminal rep- resents an error term, the LM117 was designed to minimize lapy and make it very constant with line and load changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the output will rise. External Capacitors An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 pF disc or 1 pF solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypass- ing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or out- put capacitors are used but the above values will eliminate the possibility of problems. The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the LM117 to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. With a 10 F bypass capacitor 80 dB ripple re- jection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10 pF do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes necessary to include protection diodes to pre- vent the capacitor from discharging through internal low cur- rent paths and damaging the device. In general, the best type of capacitors to use is solid tanta- lum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it takes about 25 yF in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 pF solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies; but some types have a large decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this reason, 0.01 F disc may seem to work better than a 0.1 pF disc as a bypass. Although the LM117 is stable with no output capacitors, like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values be- tween 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 uF solid tantalum (or 25 F aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and insures stability. Any increase of the load capacitance larger than 10 pF will merely improve the loop stability and output impedance. Load Regulation The LM117 is capable of providing extremely good ioad reg- ulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maxi- mum performance. The current set resistor connected be- tween the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usu- ally 2409) should be tied directly to the output (case) of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with 0.052 resistance between the regulator and load will have a load regulation due to line resistance of 0.059 x 1,. If the set resistor is connected near the load the effective line resistance will be 0.052. (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times worse. Figure 2 shows the ettect of resistance between the regula- tor and 24002 set resistor. LMt17 Rs Vin=qin = Your Vout ADJ RI 240 RZ TL/H/9063-6 FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line Resistance In Output Lead With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate leads to the case. However, with the TO-5 package, care should be taken to minimize the wire length of the output lead. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation. Protection Diodes 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. Most 10 1 F capacitors have low enough internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when short- ed. Although the surge is short, there is enough energy to damage parts of the IC. When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regu- lator, and the rate of decrease of Viy. In the LM117, this discharge path is through a large junction that is able to sustain 15A surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of positive regulators. For output capacitors of 25 pF or less, there is no need to use diodes. Me 6501124 0103101 695 = http: //www.national.comApplication Hints (continue) The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can dis- charge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the LM117 is a 502 resistor which limits the peak discharge on wnanez LMsi7 current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V or less and 10 uF capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM117 with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25V and high values of output capacitance.
