DESCRIPTION
2 The LM723/LM723C is a voltage regulator designed • 150 mA Output Current Without External Pass primarily for series regulator applications. By itself, it Transistor
will supply output currents up to 150 mA; but external
• Output Currents in Excess of 10A Possible by transistors can be added to provide any desired load
Adding External Transistors current. The circuit features extremely low standby
• Input Voltage 40V Max current drain, and provision is made for either linear
or foldback current limiting. • Output Voltage Adjustable from 2V to 37V
• Can be Used as Either a Linear or a Switching The LM723/LM723C is also useful in a wide range of
Regulator other applications such as a shunt regulator, a
current regulator or a temperature controller.
The LM723C is identical to the LM723 except that the
LM723C has its performance ensured over a 0°C to
+70°C temperature range, instead of −55°C to
+125°C.
