The IC component LM317LDR2G is a linear voltage regulator that offers excellent performance characteristics. It is a low voltage version of the popular LM317 voltage regulator, capable of delivering up to 100mA of output current.
Key Features:
1. Output Voltage Adjustable: The LM317LDR2G is an adjustable voltage regulator, allowing you to set the desired output voltage by using external resistors. This feature makes it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.
2. Wide Input Voltage Range: It can operate with an input voltage range from 2.5V to 40V, making it suitable for various power supply designs.
3. Low Dropout Voltage: The dropout voltage is the minimum voltage required for the regulator to maintain a stable output. The LM317LDR2G has a low dropout voltage, typically around 1.2V at full load. This characteristic enables it to regulate lower input voltages and helps conserve power.
4. Internal Thermal Protection: The IC includes built-in thermal overload protection, preventing damage due to excessive temperature. This ensures the safety and longevity of the device.
5. Current Limiting and Short Circuit Protection: The LM317LDR2G incorporates both current limiting and short circuit protection mechanisms. These protective features guard the device against excessive current flow and short circuits, preventing damage to the regulator and the connected circuitry
