LM337 Overview

The LM337 is a Variable Negative Voltage Regulator that can output voltage from -1.25V to -37V with a maximum output current of -1.5A. The LM337 voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. Further, it employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe area compensation, making it essentially blow−out proof. The LM337 serves a wide variety of applications including local, on card regulation. This device can also be used to make a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the LM337 can be used as a precision current regulator. 

The LM337 is the equivalent counterpart of the LM317 Positive Voltage regulator. The IC commonly used in Adjustable Lab Voltage generators in combination with the LM317 IC. It can also be used as Current Regulators and negative voltage protection circuits, refer the datasheet linked below for application circuits. The IC has three pins, in which the input voltage is supplied to VIN pin then using a pair of resistors (potential divider) we set a voltage at Adjust pin which will decide the output voltage of the IC that is given out at VOUT pin. Now to make it act as a variable voltage regulator we have to set variable voltages which can be done by using a potentiometer in the potential divider (R2 shown below).

This article provides you with a basic overview of the LM337 voltage regulator, including its pin descriptions, functions and specifications, etc., to help you quickly understand what LM337 is.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the essence of the LM337?
The LM337 is a Variable Negative Voltage Regulator that can output voltage from -1.25V to -37V with a maximum output current of -1.5A.
What are the alternatives to the LM337?
LT137, PB137 and LM317 (Positive Variable Voltage regulator).
How can the LM337 achieve maximum performance?
The LM337 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation, but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. For best performance, the programming resistor (R1) should be connected as close to the regulator as possible to minimize line drops which effectively appear in series with the reference, thereby degrading regulation. The ground end of R2 can be returned near the load ground to provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.
