The component you mentioned, " LM317LD13TR ," is part of the LM317 series of adjustable voltage regulators. This series is produced by Texas Instruments. The LM317 is widely used in electronic circuits for providing a stable output voltage, with adjustable voltage functionality for a wide range of applications.
Package Type of LM317LD13TR:
The "LM317LD13TR" typically comes in a TO-220 package, which is a three-pin component, but it can also be available in other variants depending on the exact model (like TO-263, TO-92, etc.).
Pin Function Specifications and Circuit Principle:
The LM317LD13TR is a three-pin adjustable voltage regulator, typically used to provide a constant output voltage that can be adjusted by external resistors. Below are the detai LED pin functions:
Pin 1 (Adjust Pin): Function: The Adjust pin is used to set the output voltage. It connects to a voltage divider network consisting of two resistors (R1 and R2), which sets the output voltage. Circuit Principle: The voltage at this pin determines the output voltage in conjunction with the resistors connected to it. The formula for output voltage is: [ V{out} = 1.25 \times \left( 1 + \frac{R2}{R1} \right) + I{Adj} \times R2 ] where (I_{Adj}) is the current at the Adjust pin (typically very small). Pin 2 (Output Pin): Function: The Output pin provides the regulated output voltage. Circuit Principle: This pin provides the voltage that is determined by the resistors connected to the Adjust pin and the Input voltage. The regulator controls the output voltage to be stable, regardless of fluctuations in the input voltage (within specified limits). Pin 3 (Input Pin): Function: The Input pin is connected to the input voltage source, which is higher than the desired output voltage. Circuit Principle: The voltage on this pin is stepped down and regulated by the LM317 to produce a stable output voltage at the Output pin.Detailed Pin Function Table:
Pin Number Pin Name Function and Description Pin 1 Adjust Pin This pin is used to set the output voltage by connecting external resistors.
