The LM340 is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator that uses safe area compensation, internal current limitation, and thermal shutdown, which basically makes it indestructible. This article mainly covers the configuration, pinout, circuit, applications, features, and more details about the LM340 voltage regulator.
Description
The LM340 is a three-terminal positive voltage regulator that uses a safe area compensation, internal current limitation, and thermal shutdown, which basically make them indestructible. Over the 1.5 A output current, they can provide sufficient heat sinking. Several uses, including local regulation to reduce noise and address distribution issues related to single-point regulation. This device can be utilized with external components to provide chargeable output voltage and currents, allowing it to be used as a fixed regulator. Much work was put into minimizing the amount of external components and making the complete line of regulators simple to operate.
