LM317KCT Disable operation

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM317, LP2951, LP2985

Hi

I have a question about LM317.

Is that possible to disable(ADJUST pin=Low) by the ADJUST pin?

Regards,

Koji Hamamoto

  • Koji,

    For the LM317, the lowest Output voltage that you can have is 1.25V. So even if you connect the adjust pin to ground it will still output 1.25V.

    I suspect that you are trying to make a switch from the LDO? There are a few other LDOs that have an enable pin such as LP2985 and LP2951.

    If you provide me with more detail about your parameters I can try to help more.

    Thank you,
