LM317L Low Current Three Terminal Adjustable Positive Voltage Regulator Pack of 10

LM317L Low Current Three Terminal Adjustable Positive Voltage Regulator Pack of 10

The LM317L is a low-current three-terminal adjustable positive voltage regulator integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by various semiconductor companies, including Texas Instruments and ON Semiconductor. It is widely used in electronic circuits where a stable and adjustable output voltage is required. The LM317L allows the user to adjust the output voltage within a specified range using external resistors. This feature makes it versatile and suitable for various applications requiring different voltage levels. The dropout voltage of the LM317L is typically low, ensuring efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. The LM317L normally has a low quiescent current, or the current used by the regulator while it is not in use. In battery-powered applications, this prolongs battery life and contributes to power conservation. Because of its broad input voltage acceptance range, the LM317L can be used with a variety of power sources, such as solar panels, batteries, and AC converters. Thermal overload protection is a built-in feature of the LM317L that protects it against harm from extreme heat.
