The 3 17 are adjustable 3 - terminal positive -voltage regulators capable of supplying 1.5A over a differential voltage range of 3Vto
40V. They are exceptionally easy to use and require only two external resistors to set the output voltage.
Both input and output regulation are better than standard fixed regulators.In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators,
these regulators offer full overload protection available only in integrated circuits. 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 disconnected. Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is situated far 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 primary applications of each of these regulators is that of a programmable output regulator, but by
connecting a fixed resistor between adjustment terminal and the output terminal, each device can be used as a
precision current regulator. Even though the regulator is floating and sees only the input-to-output differential voltage,
use of these devices to regulate output voltages that would cause the maximum-rated differential voltage to be exceeded if
the output became shorted to ground is not recommended.

* Unless otherwise noted, these specifications apply for the following test conditions: V
I
- V
0
= 5V and I
0
= 0.5 A. For conditions shown
as MIN or MAX, use the appropriate value specified under recommended operating conditions.
Note 1: All characteristics are measured with a 0.1 -
µ
F capacitor across the input and a 1 -
µ
F capacitor across the output.
Note 2: Input regulation is expressed here as the percentage change in output voltage per 1 - V change at the input.
Note 3: Pulse testing techniques are used to maintain the junction temperature as close to the ambient tempe rature as possible.
Thermal effects must be taken into account separately.
Note 4: Since long-term drift cannot be measured on the individual devices prior to shipment, this specification is not intended to be a
