General Description
The TS317L is adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying in excess of 100mA over an
output voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and require only two
external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe
area compensation, making it essentially blow-out proof. Besides replacing fixed regulators, the TS317L is useful in a
wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is “floating “ and sees only the input-to-output differential
voltage, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as long as the maximum input-to-output differential is not
exceeded. Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or by
connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the TS317L can be used as a precision current
regulator. Supplies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by clamping the adjustment terminal to ground which
programs the output to 1.25V where most loads draw little current.

Cin is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance
from power supply filter. Co is not needed for stability,
however, it does improve transient response.
