LM350 Voltage Regulator: Price, Pinout and Datasheet

The LM350 is a three−terminal adjustable output positive voltage regulator that capable of supplying in excess of 3.0 A over an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 33 V by connecting the adjustment pin directly to the ground.  

It can operate within a temperature range of – 40°C to + 125°C.   This 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. This regulator is used in a variety of applications like local and on-card regulation. 

By using this regulator we can design a programmable o/p regulator, an adjustable switching regulator otherwise it is used as a precision current regulator by connecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment and output

If you want to provide more than 1.5A you can use the LM350 Regulator IC which can source up to 3A. So, if you are looking for a variable voltage regulator to set voltage between 1.25V to 33V and to deliver current up to 3A then this regulator IC might be the right choice for your application. Apart from this the IC also has a current regulator mode which makes it suitable for battery charging applications.

Most of the voltage regulators use an input and output capacitor. LM350 working is similar to other voltage regulators. You can change its output voltage from 1.25V to 33V by adjusting the values of resistors connected between the adjustable and output pin. The output capacitor improves regulation and transient response. This device provides an extremely good load regulation. To maximize performance, the resistor R1 should be directly connected to the output to achieve good regulation.
