SNVS774Q May 2004 – June 2020 LM117 , LM317-N
PRODUCTION DATA.
Figure 20 shows a variation of the 5-V output regulator application uses the L117 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 LM117 outputs about 1.25 V. When TTL is pulled low, the NPN is off and the regulator outputs according to the programmed adjustable voltage.
NOTE:
Min. output ≊ 1.2 V
