LM338 5A Adjustable Positive Regulator

LM338 5A Adjustable Positive Voltage Regulator IC

The LM338 is a high-performance 3-terminal adjustable positive voltage regulator. It delivers a robust 5A output current across a wide 1.2V to 32V range. Designed for ease of use, it requires only two external resistors to set the desired output voltage. This regulator offers superior line and load regulation compared to standard fixed regulators. It comes in standard transistor packages, ensuring easy mounting and handling in various applications. Integrated on the chip are comprehensive overload protection features. These include current limit, thermal overload, and safe area protection. All protection circuitry remains fully functional, even if the adjustment terminal is disconnected. The LM338 series provides reliable and stable power for your electronic projects.
