Notes
The ● denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating temperature range.
(1) Test conditions unless otherwise stated: VIN - VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 0.5A, PMAX = 20W, IMAX = 1.5A
(2) Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing at a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating
effects are covered under thermal regulation specifications. Load regulation is measured at 1/8” below the bottom of the package.
(3) VMAX = 40V for LM137, IP137, LM137A, IP137A, LM337, IP337, LM337A, IP337A
VMAX = 50V for LM137HV, IP137HV, LM137AHV, IP137AHV, LM337HV, IP337HV, LM337AHV, IP337AHV
