6.5 Electrical Characteristics

Unless otherwise specified, these specifications apply −55°C ≤ Tj ≤ 150°C for the LM137, 0°C ≤ Tj ≤ 125°C for the LM337-N; VIN − VOUT = 5 V; and IOUT = 0.1 A for the TO package and IOUT = 0.5 A for the SOT-223 and TO-220 packages. Although power dissipation is internally limited, these specifications are applicable for power dissipations of 2 W for the TO and SOT-223, and 20 W for the TO-220. IMAX is 1.5 A for the SOT-223 and TO-220 packages, and 0.2 A for the TO package.

(1) Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation. Load regulation is measured on the output pin at a point ⅛ in. below the base of the TO packages.
(2) Selected devices with tightened tolerance reference voltage available.
