Description
This monolithic integrated circuit is an adjustable 3-terminal
positive voltage regulator designed to supply more than 1.5A
of load current with an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2
to 57V. It employs internal current limiting, thermal shut
down and safe area compensation.

Note :
1. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Change in VD due to heat ing eff ects mus t be tak en
into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty is used. (PMAX = 20W)
2. CADJ, when used, is connected between the adjustment pin and ground.

•C
i is required when regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
Co is not needed for stability, however, it does improve transient response.
Since IADJ is controlled to less than 100µA, the error associated with this term is negligible in most applications.
