3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM117HV are adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage reg-
ulators capable of supplying either 0.5A or 1.5A over a 1.2V
to 57V output range. They are exceptionally easy to use and
require only two external resistors to set the output voltage.
Further, both line and load regulation are better than standard
fixed regulators.
In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the
LM117HV series offers full overload protection available only
in IC's. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal overload
protection and safe area protection. All overload protection
circuitry remains fully functional even if the adjustment termi-
nal is disconnected.
Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is sit-
uated more than 6 inches from the input filter capacitors in
which case an input bypass is needed. An optional output ca-
pacitor can be added to improve transient response. The
adjustment terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high
ripple rejections ratios which are difficult to achieve with stan-
dard 3-terminal regulators.
Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM117HV is useful in
a wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is
“floating” and sees only the input-to-output differential volt-
age, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as
long as the maximum input to output differential is not ex-
ceeded, i.e. do not short the output to ground.
Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching reg-
ulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a
fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the
LM117HV can be used as a precision current regulator. Sup-
plies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by clamping
the adjustment terminal to ground which programs the output
to 1.2V where most loads draw little current.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (package
junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PDmax = (TJmax - TA) /
θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. "Although power dissipation is internally limited, these specifications are applicable
for power dissipations of 2W for the TO39 package and 20W for the TO3 package."
Note 3: Human body model, 1.5 kΩ in series with 100 pF.
Note 4: For the Ceramic SOIC device to function properly, the “Output” and “Output/Sense” pins must be connected on the users printed circuit board.
Note 5: The package material for these devices allows much improved heat transfer over our standard ceramic packages. In order to take full advantage of this
improved heat transfer, heat sinking must be provided between the package base (directly beneath the die), and either metal traces on, or thermal vias through,
the printed circuit board. Without this additional heat sinking, device power dissipation must be calculated using θJA, rather than θJC, thermal resistance. It must
not be assumed that the device leads will provide substantial heat transfer out the package, since the thermal resistance of the lead frame material is very poor,
relative to the material of the package base. The stated θJC thermal resistance is for the package material only, and does not account for the additional thermal
resistance between the package base and the printed circuit board. The user must determine the value of the additional thermal resistance and must combine
this with the stated value for the package, to calculate the total allowed power dissipation for the device.

Note 7: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics, except as listed in the “LM117HVH, HVWG Post
Radiation Electrical Characteristics” tables . These parts may be dose rate sensitive in a space environment and demonstrate enhanced low dose rate effect.
Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters are guaranteed only for the conditions as specified in Mil-Std-883, Method 1019, Condition A.
Note 8: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics, except as listed in the “LM117HVH, HVWG Post
Radiation Electrical Characteristics” tables. These parts pass all post irradiation limits under low dose rate testing at 10 mrad(Si)/s. Low dose rate qualification is
performed on a wafer-by-wafer basis, per test method 1019 condition E of MIL-STD-883.

Application Hints
In operation, the LM117HV develops a nominal 1.25V refer-
ence voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment ter-
minal. The reference voltage is impressed across program
resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant cur-
rent I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an
output voltage of
20143805
FIGURE 1.
Since the 100 μA current from the adjustment terminal rep-
resents an error term, the LM117HV was designed to mini-
mize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load
changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is re-
turned to the output establishing a minimum load current
requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the out-
put will rise.
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 μF disc or
1 μF solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for
almost all applications. The device is more sensitive to the
absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output ca-
pacitors are used but the above values will eliminate the
possibility of problems.
The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the
LM117HV to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is
increased. With a 10 μF bypass capacitor 80 dB ripple rejec-
tion is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10 μF do
not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies
above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes
necessary to include protection diodes to prevent the capac-
itor from discharging through internal low current paths and
damaging the device.
In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solid tanta-
lum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at
high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it
takes about 25 μF in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 μF solid
tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also
good at high frequencies; but some types have a large de-
crease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this
reason, 0.01 μF disc may seem to work better than a 0.1 μF
disc as a bypass.
Although the LM117HV is stable with no output capacitors,
like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capaci-
tance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values
between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 μF solid tantalum (or 25
μF aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect
and insures stability. Any increase of load capacitance larger
than 10 μF will merely improve the loop stability and output
impedance.
LOAD REGULATION
The LM117HV is capable of providing extremely good load
regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maxi-
mum performance. The current set resistor connected be-
tween the adjustment terminal and the output terminal
(usually 240Ω) should be tied directly to the output of the reg-
ulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops
from appearing effectively in series with the reference and
degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with
0.05Ω resistance between the regulator and load will have a
load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05Ω × IL. If the set
resistor is connected near the load the effective line resis-
tance will be 0.05Ω (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times
worse.
Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator
and 240Ω set resistor.
20143806
FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line
Resistance in Output Lead
With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance
from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate leads
to the case. However, with the TO-5 package, care should be
taken to minimize the wire length of the output lead. The
ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to
provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.
PROTECTION DIODES
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is
sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent the
capacitors from discharging through low current points into
the regulator. Most 10 μF capacitors have low enough internal
series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Al-
though the surge is short, there is enough energy to damage
parts of the IC.
When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the
input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the
output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the
value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and
the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM117HV, this discharge
path is through a large junction that is able to sustain 15A
surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of pos-
itive regulators. For output capacitors of 25 μF or less, there
is no need to use diodes.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can dis-
charge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs when
www.national.com 12
LM117HVQML
either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the LM117HV
is a 50Ω resistor which limits the peak discharge current. No
protection is needed for output voltages of 25V or less and 10
μF capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM117HV with protection
diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25V and
high values of output capacitance.
CURRENT LIMIT
Internal current limit will be activated whenever the output
current exceeds the limit indicated in the Typical Performance
Characteristics. However, if during a short circuit condition the
regulator's differential voltage exceeds the Absolute Maxi-
mum Rating of 60V (e.g. VIN 60V, VOUT = 0V), internal
junctions in the regulator may break down and the device may
be damaged or fail. Failure modes range from an apparent
open or short from input to output of the regulator, to a de-
stroyed package (most common with the TO-220 package).
To protect the regulator, the user is advised to be aware of
voltages that may be applied to the regulator during fault con-
ditions, and to avoid violating the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
