The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, because the voltage is constant, a constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of: (1) Because the 100-A current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM317L-N was designed to minimize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the output will rise. Figure 13.

The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 240 ) must be tied directly to the output of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15-V regulator with 0.05- resistance between the regulator and load will have a load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05 x IL. If the set resistor is connected near the load the effective line resistance will be 0.05 (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times worse. Figure 14 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 240- set resistor. With the TO-92 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate leads to the output pin. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to provide remote ground-sensing and improve load regulation. Figure 14. Regulator With Line Resistance in Output Lead 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 External Capacitors An input bypass capacitor is recommended in case the regulator is more than 6 inches away from the usual large filter capacitor. A 0.1-F disc or 1-F solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output capacitors are used, but the above values will eliminate the possibility of problems. The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the LM317L-N to improve ripple rejection and noise. This bypass capacitor prevents ripple and noise from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. With a 10-F bypass capacitor 80-dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10-F do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes necessary to include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through internal low current paths and damaging the device. In general, the best type of capacitors to use is solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it takes about 25 F in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1-F solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies; but some types have a large decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this reason, a 0.01-F disc may seem to work better than a 0.1-F disc as a bypass. Although the LM317L-N is stable with no output capacitors, like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1-F solid tantalum (or 25-F aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and insures stability. 7.4.2 Protection Diodes When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent the capacitors from discharging through low current points into the regulator. Most 10-F capacitors have low enough internal series resistance to deliver 20-A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is enough energy to damage parts of the IC. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2000-2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM317L-N LM317L-N www.ti.com SNVS775L - MARCH 2000 - REVISED JANUARY 2018 Device Functional Modes (continued) When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM317L-N, this discharge path is through a large junction that is able to sustain a 2-A surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of positive regulators. For output capacitors of 25 F or less, the ballast resistors and output structure of the LM317L-N limit the peak current to a low enough level so that there is no need to use a protection diode. The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the LM317L-N is a 50- resistor which limits the peak discharge current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25 V or less and 10-F capacitance. Figure 15 shows an LM317L-N with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25 V and high values of output capacitance. D1 protects against C1 D2 protects against C2 Figure 15. Regulator With Protection Diodes 7.4.3 DSBGA Light Sensitivity Exposing the LM317L-N DSBGA package to bright sunlight may cause the VREF to drop. In a normal office environment of fluorescent lighting the output is not affected. The LM317 DSBGA does not sustain permanent damage from light exposure. Removing the light source causes VREF of the LM317L-N to recover to the proper value.

TI's customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information The LM317L-N is a versatile, high-performance, linear regulator with 1% output-voltage accuracy. An output capacitor can be added to further improve transient response, and the ADJ pin can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios. Its functionality can be used in many different applications that require high performance regulation, such as battery chargers, constant-current regulators, and microprocessor supplies. 8.2 Typical Applications 8.2.1 1.25-V to 25-V Adjustable Regulator Full output current not available at high input-output voltages Optional--improves transient response *Needed if device is more than 6 inches from filter capacitors Figure 16. 1.25-V to 25-V Adjustable Regulator 8.2.1.1 Design Requirements The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage-divider circuit and an output capacitor for load regulation.

The LM317L connected to R2 produces a constant current of 1.2V/R2 through the BJT. By altering the base current entering the LM395, the effective resistance can be changed resulting in an appropriate voltage fluctuation at the output. Figure 19. High Gain Amplifier 8.2.4 Adjustable Current Limiter This application will limit the output current to the IOUT in the diagram. The current limit is determined by adjusting the resistance between the VOUT and VADJ pins. The 1.2-V reference voltage across R1 generates the maximum current. 12 R1 240 Figure 20. Adjustable Current Limiter 8.2.5 Precision Current Limiter This application will limit the output current to the IOUT in the diagram. An initial reference current is generated based on the resistance between the VOUT and VADJ pins. In the case of Figure 21, 1.25 V across 1 k plus half of the 500- resistor results in 1 mA of current, producing 1.5 V total across the two resistors in series. This voltage also appears across R1, making the maximum current the sum of the branch currents. Figure 21.

As VIN rises, the PNP sinks current from the ADJ rail. The output voltage at start-up is the addition of the 1.25-V reference plus the drop across the base to emitter. While this is happening, the capacitor begins to charge and eventually opens the PNP. At this point, the device functions normally, regulating the output at 15 V. A diode is placed between C1 and VOUT to provide a path for the capacitor to discharge. Such controlled turnon is useful for limiting the in-rush current. Figure 22. Slow Turnon 15-V Regulator 8.2.7 Adjustable Regulator With Improved Ripple Rejection To improve ripple rejection, a capacitor is used to bypass the ADJ pin to GND (see Figure 23). This is used to smooth output ripple by cleaning the feedback path and stopping unnecessary noise from being fed back into the device, propagating the noise.

Because each device maintains the reference voltage of about 1.25 V between its VOUT and ADJ pins, we can connect each ADJ rail to a single resistor, setting the same output voltage across all devices. This allows for independent outputs, each responding to its corresponding input only. Designers must also consider that by the nature of the circuit, changes to R1 and R2 will affect all regulators. *All outputs within 100 mV Minimum load -5 mA Figure 29.

Figure 32. 50-mA Constant Current Battery Charger for Nickel-Cadmium Batteries 8.2.17 5-V Logic Regulator With Electronic Shutdown Figure 33 shows a variation of the 5-V output regulator application uses the LM317L-N, along with an NPN transistor, to provide shutdown control. The NPN will either block or sink the current from the ADJ pin by responding to the TTL pin logic. When TTL is pulled high, the NPN is on and pulls the ADJ pin to GND, and the LM317L-N outputs about 1.25 V. When TTL is pulled low, the NPN is off and the regulator outputs according to the programmed adjustable voltage. *Minimum output 1.2 V Figure 33. 5-V Logic Regulator With Electronic Shutdown* 8.2.18 Current-Limited 6-V Charger The current in a battery charger application is limited by switching between constant-current and constant-voltage states (see Figure 34). When the battery pulls low current, the drop across the 1- resistor is not substantial and the NPN remains off. A constant voltage is seen across the battery, as regulated by the resistor divider. When current through the battery rises past peak current, the 1 provides enough voltage to turn the transistor on, pulling ADJ close to ground. This results in limiting the maximum current to the battery. *Sets peak current, IPEAK = 0.6 V/R1 **1000 F is recommended to filter out any input transients. Figure 34.

See the trim procedure in Figure 39. Trim Procedure: -- If VOUT is 23.08 V or higher, cut out R3 (if lower, don't cut it out). -- Then if VOUT is 22.47 V or higher, cut out R4 (if lower, don't). -- Then if VOUT is 22.16 V or higher, cut out R5 (if lower, don't). This will trim the output to well within 1% of 22.00 VDC, without any of the expense or uncertainty of a trim pot (see LB-46). This technique can be used at any output voltage level. Figure 39.

When possible, the minimum dropout voltage must also be met with extra headroom to keep the LM317L-N in regulation. TI recommends using an input capacitor, especially when the input pin is located more than 6 inches away from the power supply source. For more information regarding capacitor selection, see External Capacitors. 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines Some layout guidelines should be followed to ensure proper regulation of the output voltage with minimum noise. Traces carrying the load current must be wide to reduce the amount of parasitic trace inductance and the feedback loop from VOUT to ADJ should be kept as short as possible. To improve PSRR, a bypass capacitor can be placed at the ADJ pin and must be located as close as possible to the IC. In cases when VIN shorts to ground, an external diode should be placed from VOUT to VIN to divert the surge current from the output capacitor and protect the IC. Similarly, in cases when a large bypass capacitor is placed at the ADJ pin and VOUT shorts to ground, an external diode should be placed from ADJ to VOUT to provide a path for the bypass capacitor to discharge. These diodes must be placed close to the corresponding IC pins to increase their effectiveness. 10.2 Layout Examples Figure 43.

Layout Example (TO-220) 10.3 Thermal Considerations When power is dissipated in an IC, a temperature gradient occurs across the IC chip affecting the individual IC circuit components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be especially severe since power dissipation is large. Thermal regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on output voltage (in percentage output change) per watt of power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation error is independent of electrical regulation or temperature coefficient, and occurs within 5 ms to 50 ms after a change in power dissipation. Thermal regulation depends on IC layout as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as the percentage change of VOUT, per watt, within the first 10 ms after a step of power is applied. The LM317L-N specification is 0.2%/W, maximum. In Figure 12, a typical output of the LM317L-N changes only 7 mV (or 0.07% of VOUT = -10 V) when a 1-W pulse is applied for 10 ms. This performance is thus well inside the specification limit of 0.2%/W x 1 W = 0.2% maximum. When the 1-W pulse is ended, the thermal regulation again shows a 7-mV change as the gradients across the LM317L-N chip die out. NOTE The load regulation error of about 14 mV (0.14%) is additional to the thermal regulation error. 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2000-2018, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM317L-N LM317L-N www.ti.com SNVS775L - MARCH 2000 - REVISED JANUARY 2018 11 Device and Documentation Support 11.1 Documentation Support 11.1.1 Related Documentation For related documentation, see the following: AN-1112 DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (SNVA009) 11.2 Community Resources The following links connect to TI community resources.
