LM317M
SLVS297P APRIL 2000REVISED MARCH 2014
LM317M 3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator
1 Features 3 Description
The LM317M is an adjustable 3-terminal positive

Output Voltage Range Adjustable
voltage regulator capable of supplying more than
from 1.25-V to 37-V
500-mA over an output-voltage range of 1.25-V to

37-V. The LM317M is exceptionally easy to use and

requires only two external resistors to set the output.
Furthermore, both line and load regulation are better

TV/Set-Top Box
Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device
is more than six inches from the input filter
capacitors, in which case an input bypass capacitor
of any type is needed. An optional electrolytic or
tantalum output capacitor can be added to improve
transient response. Ceramic output capacitors can be
used but output ringing may be present on transients.
The ADJUST terminal can be bypassed with any type
of capacitor to achieve high ripple-rejection ratios,
which are difficult to achieve with standard three-
terminal regulators.
