3 Description
The LM317HV-MIL is an adjustable 3-terminal
positive voltage regulator capable of supplying 1.5 A
or more currents over a 1.25-V to 57-V output voltage
range. It requires only two external resistors to set the
output voltage. The LM317HV-MIL is packaged in
standard transistor packages that are easily mounted
and handled.
The LM317HV-MIL offers overload protection like
current limit, thermal overload protection and safe
area protection, which make the device blowout
proof. The overload protection circuitry remains fully
functional even if the adjustment terminal is
disconnected.
Typically, no capacitors are needed unless the device
is situated more than 6 inches from the input filter
capacitors, in which case an input bypass is needed.
An optional output capacitor can be added to improve
transient response. The adjustment terminal can be
bypassed to achieve very high ripple rejection ratios
which are difficult to achieve with standard 3-terminal
regulators.
Since the regulator is floating and sees only the input-
to-output differential voltage, supplies of several
hundred volts can be regulated as long as the
maximum input to output differential is not exceeded,
or in other words, do not short the output to ground.
By connecting a fixed resistor between the
adjustment and output, the LM317HV-MIL can also
be used as a precision current regulator. Supplies
with electronic shutdown can be achieved by
clamping the adjustment terminal to ground, which
programs the output to 1.25 V where most loads draw
little current.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
In operation, the LM317HV-MIL develops a nominal 1.25-V 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 I1then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage calculated
by Equation 1:
(1)
Figure 13. Adjustable VOUT Through R1 and R2
Because the 100-μA current from the adjustment terminal represents an error term, the LM317HV-MIL 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 will rise.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Load Regulation
The LM317HV-MIL is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to
obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor, R1, should be connected near the output terminal of the
regulator rather than near the load. If R1 is placed too far from the output terminal, then the increased trace
resistance, RS, will cause an error voltage drop in the adjustment loop and degrade load regulation performance.
Therefore, R1 should be placed as close as possible to the output terminal to minimize RSand maximize load
regulation performance.
Figure 14 shows the effect of the trace resistance, RS, when R1 is placed far from the output terminal of the
regulator. It is clear that RSwill cause an error voltage drop especially during higher current loads, so it is
important to minimize the RStrace resistance by keeping R1 close to the regulator output terminal.
Figure 14. 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-39 package, take care 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.
7.3.2 Current Limit
Internal current limit will be activated whenever the output current exceeds the limit indicated in Typical
Characteristics. However, if the regulators differential voltage exceeds the absolute maximum rating of 60 V
during a short-circuit condition (for example: VIN ≥60 V, VOUT = 0 V), 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 destroyed 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 conditions
and to avoid violating the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 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 capacitors are used but the above values will eliminate the possibility of problems.
The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the LM317HV-MIL to improve ripple rejection. This
bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. With a 10-μF bypass
capacitor the 80-dB ripple rejection 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 capacitor from discharging through internal low current
paths and damaging the device.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solid tantalum. 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 of solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies, but some
types have a large decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this reason, a 0.01-μF disc may
seem to work better than a 0.1-μF disc as a bypass.
Although the LM317HV-MIL is stable with no output capacitors, like any feedback circuit, certain values of
external capacitance 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 ensures stability. Any
increase of load capacitance larger than 10 μF will merely improve the loop stability and output impedance.
7.4.2 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 20-A spikes when shorted. Although 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 LM317HV-MIL, this discharge path is through a large
junction that is able to sustain 15-A surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of positive regulators.
For output capacitors of 25 μF or less, there is no need to use diodes.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the LM317HV-MIL is a 50-Ωresistor which limits the peak
discharge current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25 V or less and 10-μF capacitance. Figure 15
shows an LM317HV-MIL with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25 V and high values
of output capacitance.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM317HV-MIL is a high voltage input capable linear regulator with overload protection. Due to its wide input
voltage range, the LM317HV-MIL serves a variety of applications and provides a precise voltage regulation with
low dropout across a wide output voltage and load current range. The device regulates a constant 1.25 V
between VOUT and ADJ, so placing a fixed resistor between these pins provides a constant current regulation.
Capacitors at the input help filter the input power supply, while the output capacitors aid in transient response
stability. A bypass capacitor can be placed between ADJ pin and ground (across R2) to improve ripple rejection.
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 1.25-V to 45-V High Voltage Adjustable Regulator
The device can be used as an adjustable regulator to allow a variety of output voltages for high voltage
applications. By using an adjustable R2 resistor, a variety of output voltages can be made possible as shown in
Figure 16.
Full output current not available at high input-output voltages
†Optional—improves transient response. Output capacitors in the range of 1 μF to 1000 μF of aluminum or tantalum
electrolytic
are commonly used to provide improved output impedance and rejection of transients.
*Needed if device is more than 6 inches from filter capacitors.

Figure 16. 1.25-V to 45-V High Voltage Adjustable Regulator
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage divider circuit and an
output capacitor for load regulation. An input capacitor is needed if the device is more than 6 inches from filter
capacitors. An optional bypass capacitor across R2 can also be used to improve PSRR.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The output voltage is set based on the selection of the two resistors, R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 16. For
details on capacitor selection, refer to External Capacitors.
8.2.1.3 Application Curve
As shown in Figure 17, the maximum output current capability is limited by the input-output voltage differential,
package type, and junction temperature.
Figure 17. Current Limit
8.2.2 Digitally Selected Outputs
Figure 18 shows a digitally selectable output voltage. In its default state, all transistors are off and the output
voltage is set based on R1 and R2. By driving certain transistors, the associated resistor is connected in parallel
to R2, modifying the output voltage of the regulator.
*Sets maximum VOUT
Figure 18. Digitally Selected Outputs
8.2.3 Logic Regulator (5-V) With Electronic Shutdown
A variation of the 5-V output regulator application uses the LM317HV-MIL along with an NPN transistor to
provide shutdown control. The NPN will either block or sink the current from the ADJ pin by responding to the
TTL pin logic. When TTL is pulled high, the NPN is on and pulls the ADJ pin to GND, and the device outputs
about 1.25 V. When TTL is pulled low, the NPN is off and the regulator outputs according to the programmed
adjustable voltage.

8.2.4 Slow Turnon 15-V Regulator
An application of LM317HV-MIL includes a PNP transistor with a capacitor to implement slow turnon
functionality. As VIN rises, the PNP sinks current from the ADJ rail. The output voltage at start-up is the addition
of the 1.25-V reference plus the drop across the base to emitter. While this is happening, the capacitor begins to
charge and eventually opens the PNP. At this point, the device functions normally, regulating the output at 15 V.
A diode is placed between C1 and VOUT to provide a path for the capacitor to discharge. Such controlled turnon
is useful for limiting the in-rush current.
Figure 20. Slow Turnon 15-V Regulator
8.2.5 Adjustable Regulator With Improved Ripple Rejection
To improve ripple rejection, a capacitor is used to bypass the ADJ pin to GND. This is used to smooth output
ripple by cleaning the feedback path and stopping unnecessary noise from being fed back into the device,
propagating the noise.

8.2.6 High Stability 10-V Regulator
Using a high-stability shunt voltage reference in the feedback path, such as the LM329, provides damping
necessary for a stable, low noise output.
Figure 22. High Stability 10-V Regulator
8.2.7 High Current Adjustable Regulator
Using the LM195 power transistor in parallel with the LM317HV-MIL can increase the maximum possible output
load current. Sense resistor R1 provides the 0.6 V across base to emitter to turn on the PNP. This on switch
allows current to flow, and the voltage drop across R3 drives three LM195 power transistors designed to carry an
excess of 1 A each. Note the selection of R1 determines a minimum load current for the PNP to turn on. The
higher the resistor value, the lower the load current must be before the transistors turn on.

8.2.9 1-A Current Regulator
A simple, fixed-current regulator can be made by placing a resistor between the VOUT and ADJ pins of the
LM317HV-MIL. By regulating a constant 1.25 V between these two terminals, a constant current is delivered to
the load.
Figure 25. 1-A Current Regulator
8.2.10 Common Emitter Amplifier
Sometimes it is necessary to use a power transistor for high current gain. In this case, the LM317HV-MIL
provides constant current at the collector of the LM195 in this common emitter application. The 1.25-V reference
between VOUT and ADJ is maintained across the 2.4-Ωresistor, providing about 500-mA constant bias current
into the collector of the LM195.

8.2.11 Low-Cost, 3-A Switching Regulator
The LM317HV-MIL can be used in a switching buck regulator application in cost-sensitive applications that
require high efficiency. The switch node above D1 oscillates between ground and VIN, as the voltage across
sense resistor R1 drives the power transistor on and off. This circuit exhibits self-oscillating behavior by negative
feedback through R6 and C3 to the ADJ pin of the LM317HV-MIL.

8.2.12 Adjustable Multiple On-Card Regulators With Single Control
This application shows how multiple LM317HV-MIL regulators can be controlled by setting one resistor. Because
each device maintains the reference voltage of about 1.25 V between its VOUT and ADJ pins, we can connect
each ADJ rail to a single resistor, setting the same output voltage across all devices. This allows for independent
outputs, each responding to its corresponding input only. Designers must also consider that by the nature of the
circuit, changes to R1 and R2 affect all regulators.

8.2.13 AC Voltage Regulator
In Figure 29, the top regulator is +6 V above the bottom regulator. It is clear that when the input rises above +6 V
plus the dropout voltage, only the top LM317HV-MIL regulates +6 V at the output. When the input falls below –6
V minus the dropout voltage, only the bottom LM317HV-MIL regulates –6 V at the output. For regions where the
output is not clipped, there is no regulation taking place, so we see the output follow the input.
Figure 29. AC Voltage Regulator
8.2.14 12-V Battery Charger
The LM317HV-MIL can be used in a battery charger application, where the device maintains either constant
voltage or constant current mode depending on the current charge of the battery. To do this, the part senses the
voltage drop across the battery and delivers the maximum charging current necessary to charge the battery.
When the battery charge is low, there exists a voltage drop across the sense resistor RS, providing constant
current to the battery at that instant. As the battery approaches full charge, the potential drop across RS
approaches zero, reducing the current and maintaining the fixed voltage of the battery.
Use of RSallows low charging rates with fully charged battery.

8.2.15 Adjustable 4-A Regulator
Using three LM317HV-MIL devices in parallel increases load current capability. Output voltage is set by the
variable resistor tied to the non-inverting terminal of the op amp, and reference current to the transistor is
developed across the 100-Ωresistor. When output voltage rises, the op amp corrects by drawing current from
the base, closing the transistor. This effectively pulls ADJ down and lowers the output voltage through negative
feedback.
Figure 31. Adjustable 4-A Regulator
8.2.16 Current Limited 6-V Charger
The current in a battery charger application is limited by switching between constant current and constant voltage
states. When the battery pulls low current, the drop across the 1-Ωresistor is not substantial and the NPN
remains off. A constant voltage is seen across the battery, as regulated by the resistor divider. When current
through the battery rises past peak current, the 1 Ωprovides enough voltage to turn the transistor on, pulling ADJ
close to ground. This results in limiting the maximum current to the battery.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is situated more than six inches from the input filter
capacitors, in which case an input bypass is needed. An optional output capacitor 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 standard 3-terminal regulators. For information regarding capacitor selection, refer to
External Capacitors.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Some layout guidelines should be followed to ensure proper regulation of the output voltage with minimum noise.
Traces carrying the load current should be wide to reduce the amount of parasitic trace inductance and the
feedback loop from V2to ADJ should be kept as short as possible. To improve PSRR, a bypass capacitor can be
placed at the ADJ pin and should be located as close as possible to the IC. In cases when VIN shorts to ground,
an external diode should be placed from VOUT to VIN to divert the surge current from the output capacitor and
protect the IC. Similarly, in cases when a large bypass capacitor is placed at the ADJ pin and VOUT shorts to
ground, an external diode should be placed from ADJ to VOUT to provide a path for the bypass capacitor to
discharge. These diodes should be placed close to the corresponding IC pins to increase their effectiveness.
