DESCRIPTION
Negative Adjustable
Regulator
The LT
®
137A/LT337A negative adjustable regulators will
deliver up to 1.5A output current over an output voltage
range of –1.2V to –37V. Linear Technology has made
signifi cant improvements in these regulators compared to
previous devices, such as better line and load regulation,
and a maximum output voltage error of 1%.
Every effort has been made to make these devices easy
to use and diffi cult to damage. Internal current and power
limiting coupled with true thermal limiting prevents device
damage due to overloads or shorts, even if the regulator
is not fastened to a heat sink.
Maximum reliability is attained with Linear Technologys
advanced processing techniques combined with a 100%
burn-in in the thermal limit mode. This assures that all
device protection circuits are working and eliminates fi eld
failures experienced with other regulators that receive only
standard electrical testing.
