SP317

3 Terminal 1 Amp Voltage Regulator
Data Sheets OBS (Obsolete)

Overview

The SP317 is an adjustable three-terminal positive voltage regulator with a very low dropout of 1.2V at 1A output current. Using 2 external resistors, the SP317 can provide an adjustable output voltage down to 1.25V.

The SP317 includes a circuit of trimmed bandgap reference to assure output voltage accuracy to be within 1%. It also provides current limiting and thermal shutdown. The current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output current and controlled short-circuit current. The On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any combination of overload and ambient temperature that would create excessive junction temperature.

The SP317 is available in the standard SOT-223, TO-220, TO-252 and TO 263 power packages.

  • Typical 1% output voltage tolerance
  • Typical 0.01%/V line regulation
  • Typical 0.2% load regulation
  • Very low dropout voltage: 1.2V at 1A output current
  • Trimmed current limit
  • On-chip thermal protection
  • Operating junction temperature: 0ºC to 25ºC
  • Available in RoHS compliant, lead free packaging
