3-terminal IC regulators
In 1985 the three terminals IC regulators were first manufactured on the chip level. These are known as the first generation devices. In this type of regulator IC, different components like Zener diode, high gain amplifier, current limiting circuit are fitted on a single chip. In this section we shall see the two types of series of the regulator ICs: IC LM 317 series. These ICs are widely used for regulating the power supply units for different applications. Integrated circuit IC317 - this is the adjustable three terminal voltage regulator, used in the regulated power supply. It is the most efficient type of regulator which can regulate the dc voltage from 1. 2 V to 57 V. Its important parameters are given below Output voltage from 1. 2 V to 57 V. Output current from 0.1A to 1. 2A. Simple three terminals connector IC317. Temperature protection. Output current protection. Wide temperature operating range up to 145 C. Pin configuration of IC317 Pin 1 - unregulated voltage input [+ ve] Pin 2 - ground pin; connected to The common ground terminal of the power supply Pin 3 - regulated voltage output [+ ve] Metal body - used for the heat sink.

Brief theory LM 317 is a 3terminal positive voltage regulator. This IC includes a series pass transistor that can handle up to 1.5A load current. An opamp with thermal shut down and current limiting are also included. Its output automatically turns off, if its body temperature exceeds 175C. This is called thermal shutdown. This provides

7 protection against excessive power dissipation, which depends on surrounding temperature and the amount of heat sinking. The output voltage of this IC is adjustable from 1.25V to 37Vmax. Its output voltage can be adjusted between this range by selecting proper values of R1 and R2 as follows R Vo = 1.25 2 + 1 R 1 Note do not change given value of R1 = 100. This value ensures minimum load current requirement (which is 10mA) of the IC which is ILmin = 12.5mA at Vomin = 1.25V. Results 1) Calculated value of R2 = ______ for given Vo = ______. 2) The %SR of IC LM 317 = _______.
