DESCRIPTION
The LM217M/LM317M are monolithic integrated circuits in TO-220 and DPAK packages intended for use as positive adjustable voltage regulators. They are designed to supply until 500 mA of load current with an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2 to 37V range.
The nominal output voltage is selected by means of only a resistive divider, making the device exceptionally easy to use and eliminating the stocking of many fixed regulators.
