ONSEMI Adjustable Positive Linear Voltage Regulator 500mA SOT-223-3

The ONSEMI Adjustable Positive Linear Voltage Regulator is a highly versatile 3-terminal device capable of supplying in excess of 500mA over an adjustable output voltage range of 1.2V to 37V. Designed for exceptional ease of use, this regulator requires only two external resistors to set the desired output voltage, simplifying circuit design and implementation.

Safety and reliability are paramount, which is why this component employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area compensation. These protective features make the regulator essentially blow-out proof, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments.

This voltage regulator serves a wide variety of applications, including local and on-card regulation. It can also be configured as a programmable output regulator or, by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, utilised as a precision current regulator. Its floating operation capability makes it suitable for high voltage applications, while its adjustable nature eliminates the need to stock many fixed voltage regulators.
