With no adjustment pin bypass For output volt-

ages other than 5V multiply vertical scale by

Regulation can be improved by adding an LM336 reference diode to increase the effective reference

voltage to 375V Load and line regulation are improved by 31 including thermal effects

R3 is selected to supply partial load current Therefore a minimum load

must always be maintained to prevent the regulated output from rising un-

tion will be reduced by a factor of 2–3 in a typical situation where minimum

load current is 12 full load current Regulator dissipation will peak at

and will be equal to

R3 if continuous output shorts are possible (2) Under normal load condi-

tions system power dissipation is not changed but under short circuit condi-

tions

ready high power of a shorted regulator The LM196 will not be harmed and

neither will R3 if it is rated properly but the raw supply components must be

able to withstand the overload also Thermal shutdown of the LM196 will

probably occur for sustained shorts somewhat alleviating the problem
