LM350 Description

The LM350 is an adaptable positive voltage regulator. There are three terminals: Vin, Vout, and Adj. This type of regulator is used to provide an additional 3 amps of current across an output range. This IC is extremely simple to use and only requires two external resistors to set the output voltage.

 

In advance, it employs internal current limiting, safe area compensation, thermal shutdown, and so on. This regulator is used in many applications, including local and on-card regulation. We can use this regulator to design a programmable o/p regulator, an adjustable switching regulator, or a precision current regulator by using a fixed resistor between the two pins like adjustment & output.

Pin Number Pin Name Description
1 Adjust This pins adjusts the output voltage
2 Output Voltage (Vout) The regulated output voltage set by the adjust pin can be obtained from this pin
3 Input Voltage (Vin) The input voltage which has to be regulated is given to this pin

LM350 Features

  • Delivers an output current of 3 Amps.

  • Output voltage is adjustable from 1.25V to 33V with 1% tolerance.

  • Provides a load regulation of 0.1% and a line regulation of 0.005%/V.

  • The chip can bear maximum input to an output voltage difference of 35V. For normal operation, it should be 15 volts.

  • It provides thermal regulation against overloads. The overload protection protects the chip and keeps performing its operation even if the adjust terminal is not connected or

  • Provides floating operation in high voltage applications.

  • It has built-in protection which protects the chip when the current exceeds beyond the rating by tripping the device.

  • Very high dissipation of around 85 watts.

LM350 Circuit

The LM350 IC's circuit diagram is shown below. A three-terminal integrated circuit is what it is. This regulator can be found in a variety of applications. It can also function as a variable voltage regulator.

LM350 CircuitLM350 Circuit Diagram

We've already mentioned this IC has three pins, one of which is connected to the Vin pin, which receives the input voltage. A potential divider is then used to fix a voltage at the adjusted pin. A voltage divider can be formed using a pair of resistors in this case. As a result, the output voltage can be determined using the Vout pin. The circuit's pair of resistors can be connected to Vout.

 

A potentiometer is used to fix variable voltages at pin-1 within the potential divider to make this IC look like a variable voltage regulator. The potential difference can be created by connecting resistor R1 and the potentiometer at the adjusting pin, which controls the Vout pin according to the formula:

 

VOUT = 1.25 × (1 + (R2/R1)) + Iadj(R2)


Where to use LM350

This regulator would be the first choice for variable voltage regulation requirements. Because this IC can supply up to 3A, we can use the LM350  IC if we need to supply more than 1.5A. A variable voltage regulator is used to fix the voltage between 1.25V and 33V and to supply current up to 3A.

 

This regulator is an excellent choice for a variety of applications. This regulator also includes a current regulator, which is used in battery charging applications.


How to use LM350

The majority of voltage regulators employ an input and output capacitor. The operation of the  LM350  is similar to that of other voltage regulators. You can adjust the values of the resistors connected between the adjustable and output pins to change the output voltage from 1.25V to 33V. The output capacitor enhances regulation as well as transient response. This device provides excellent load regulation. To achieve good regulation, the resistor R1 should be directly connected to the output to maximize performance.
