1.5A, ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT,NEGATIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR

DESCRIPTION

The UTC LM337A is an adjustable 3-terminal negative voltage

regulator capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over an output

voltage range of -1.2V to -37V. This voltage regulator is

exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors

to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal current

limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it

essentially blow-out proof.

The UTC LM337A serves a wide variety of applications

including local, on card regulation. This device can also be used

to make a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a

fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the UTC

LM337A can be used as a precision current regulator.
