Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects must be taken into account separately. Pulse testing with low duty cycle is used. 2 LM350 Typical Perfomance Characteristics Figure 1. Load Regulation Figure 2. Current Limit Figure 3. Adjustment Pin Current Figure 4.

CO : Output capacitors in the range of 1F to 100F of aluminum or tantalum electronic are commonly used to provide improved output impedance and rejection of transients. In operation, the LM350 develops a nominal 1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of VO = 1.25V(1+R2/R1) + IADJ R2 Since IADJ current (less than 100F) from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM350 was designed to minimize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the output voltage will rise. Since the LM350 is a floating regulator, it is only the voltage differential across the circuit which is important to performance, and operation at high voltage with respect to ground is possible. Since IADJ is controlled to less than 100A, the error associated with this term is negligible in most applications. 5 LM350 Mechanical Dimensions (Continued) Package TO-220 4.50 0.20 2.80 0.10 (3.00) +0.10 1.30 -0.05 18.95MAX.
