LM723 IC is a changeable voltage regulator, used in the series regulator application with 150mA current o/p without exterior pass transistor. When we utilize an external transistor, then it supplies 10A current to drive the load.
What is the maximum input current of LM317?
Specifications
| Symbol | Parameter | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vin – Vout | Voltage differential | 3 – 40 |
| TJ | Operating junction temperature range | 0 – 125 |
| IO(MAX) | Maximum output current | 1.5 |
| IL(MIN) | Minimum load current | 3.5 mA typical, 12 mA maximum |
Why do we need LM317?
The LM317T is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying different DC voltage outputs other than the fixed voltage power supply of +5 or +12 volts, or as a variable output voltage from a few volts up to some maximum value all with currents of about 1.5 amperes.
Why is IC 723 regulator known as general purpose voltage regulator?
The 723 voltage regulator is commonly used for series voltage regulator applications. It can be used as both positive and negative voltage regulator. It has an ability to provide up to 150 mA of current to the load, but this can be increased more than 10A by using power transistors.
What is the maximum input voltage for a LM317?
Capable of providing upto 1.5A current at the output.
What is voltage regulator and how does it work?
A voltage regulator is an electromechanical component used to maintain a steady output of volts in a circuit. It does this by generating a precise output voltage of a preset magnitude that stays constant despite changes to its load conditions or input voltage.
What does the voltage regulator look like?
Voltage regulator is an integral part of the alternator.It looks like a triangular series of wires with a diode in each corner.
What is the three terminal voltage regulator?
There are basically two types of Three Terminal Fixed Voltage regulator ICs are available. One is positive output voltage and other has negative output voltage; but the output voltage is fixed. There are two IC series. This is a positive regulator. The first two digits i.e.78 indicates that the output voltage is positive.
