Technical summary
LM317 DC-DC step-down converter module
The LM317 DC-DC converter is an electronic circuit for converting a DC source voltage from one level to a lower level. This module is important in certain portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops, which are mainly powered by batteries. The step-down voltage can be easily adjusted and is therefore more efficient than using several batteries to obtain the same result.
MAIN FEATURES OF THE LM317 ADJUSTABLE LINEAR REGULATOR MODULE:
- Compact size
- LM317 linear regulator integrated circuit with heatsink
- Output voltage adjustment
- Output current up to 1.5A (see table below)
- Input voltage range from 4.5 to 40V
- Output voltage range from 1.25 to 37V
