The LM723 is a voltage regulator designed primarily for series regulator applications. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
Type: Adjustable Voltage Regulator
Applications: Primarily used in series regulator circuits to provide a stable voltage to electronic components.
Output Current:
Up to 150mA without an external pass transistor.
Can deliver higher currents (up to 10A) by adding an external pass transistor.
Input Voltage: Maximum input voltage of 40V.
Output Voltage: Adjustable output voltage range from 2V to 37V.
Features:
Low standby current drain for efficient operation.
Provision for both linear and foldback current limiting for overload protection.
Can also be used in shunt regulator, current regulator, or temperature controller applications with additional circuitry.
