How It Works - Basic Circuit
The LM317 uses a simple resistor-divider network to set the output voltage. Connect a fixed resistor (R1, typically 240Ohm) between the Output and Adjust pins, and a second resistor (R2) between the Adjust pin and ground. The output voltage is calculated as:
V_out = 1.25V x (1 + R2 / R1)
For best performance, add a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor at the input and a 1uF electrolytic capacitor at the output to ensure stability and reduce noise. A protection diode across the output-to-input pins is recommended when using large output capacitors.
Common Output Voltage Examples
| Desired Output | R1 | R2 |
| 3.3V | 240Ohm | 394Ohm |
| 5V | 240Ohm | 720Ohm |
| 9V | 240Ohm | 1.49kOhm |
| 12V | 240Ohm | 2.06kOhm |
Project Ideas
- Variable Benchtop Power Supply: Pair with a potentiometer in place of R2 to create a continuously adjustable power supply for your electronics workbench - output from 1.25V to 37V
- Battery Charger Circuit: Build a constant-current/constant-voltage charger for Li-ion, NiMH, or lead-acid batteries with precise voltage control
- Microcontroller Power Supply: Regulate uneven wall adapter or battery voltage down to a stable 3.3V or 5V for Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or
