The LM323K STEEL/NOPB is a 3-terminal Positive Regulator with a preset 5V output and a load driving capability of 3A. New circuit design and processing techniques are used to provide the high output current without sacrificing the regulation characteristics of lower current devices. The LM323A offers improved precision over the standard LM323. Parameters with tightened specifications include output voltage tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. The 3A regulator is virtually blowout proof. Current limiting, power limiting and thermal shutdown provide the same high level of reliability obtained with these techniques in the LM109 1 amp regulator. No external components are required for operation of the LM123. If the device is more than 4 inches from the filter capacitor, however, a 1μF solid tantalum capacitor should be used on the input.
