LM338: Incorrect equation on pg11 of the lm338.pdf file

Phil Karras

Part Number: LM338

The equation on page 11 of the lm338.pdf file is incorrect. It has "(1+R2/R2)" which should be as on page 12, "(1+R2/R1)" please pass that on to be corrected.

Question: Where would I buy real TI LM338s?

Hi Phil,

Thanks for feedback on the error in the datasheet. I have added it to our datasheet revision list and it will be fixed in our next datasheet refresh. For your questions on where to buy LM338, you can purchase them in TI store or request free sample. You may also consider TI's authorized distributor which can be found here:

What is the link/URL to the TI store? Also, can I get a sample or two from the store or is that a different URL? If different please forward that URL as well. Thanks.

Hi Phil,

This is the address for TI Store: www.ti.com/.../
For sample, usually you can request it under product page, under "order now" tab. For your case, it would be www.ti.com/.../samplebuy.
