Output Voltage Range Adjustable From Peak Output Current Constant Over
1.2 V to 37 V Temperature Range of Regulator
Output Current Capability of 1.5 A Max Ripple Rejection Typically 77 dB
Input Regulation Typically 0.01% Per Direct Replacement for Industry-Standard
Input-Voltage Change LM237 and LM337
Output Regulation Typically 0.3%
The LM237 and LM337 are adjustable 3-terminal negative-voltage regulators capable of supplying in excess of
1.5 A over an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 37 V. They are exceptionally easy to use, requiring only two
external resistors to set the output voltage and one output capacitor for frequency compensation. The current
design has been optimized for excellent regulation and low thermal transients. In addition, the LM237 and LM337
feature internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation, making them virtually immune to
failure by overloads.
The LM237 and LM337 serve a wide variety of applications, including local on-card regulation, programmable
output-voltage regulation, and precision current regulation.
