LM317AT/ in LM317 Adjustable Regulators Family
The LM317AT/ family, prominently manufactured by Texas Instruments, consists of monolithic integrated circuits designed for use as positive adjustable voltage regulators. Capable of supplying in excess of 1.5A over an output voltage range of 1.25V to 37V, these components are highly robust, featuring internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area compensation. They are essential tools for power management, providing reliable regulation with significantly better line and load regulation than standard fixed regulators.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the LM317AT sub-family typically differ based on packaging standards and environmental compliance, such as the NOPB suffix indicating lead-free 'No PB' production. While the core electrical characteristics remain consistent across the AT line, such as the 1.5A current rating and TO-220 form factor, specific ordering codes may denote different operating temperature grades or lead finishes required for specific industrial or automotive assembly processes.
