•
•
The LM137 and LM337-N are adjustable 3-terminal
negative voltage regulators capable of supplying
−1.5 A or more currents over an output voltage range
of −1.25 V to −37 V. It requires only two external
resistors to set the output voltage and one output
capacitor for frequency compensation. The circuit
design has been optimized for excellent regulation
and low thermal transients. Further, the LM137 and
LM337-N feature internal current limiting, thermal
shutdown and safe-area compensation, making it
virtually blowout-proof against overloads.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
In operation, the LM137 and LM337-N develops a nominal −1.25-V reference voltage between the output and
adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 (120 Ω for example) and,
because the voltage is constant, a constant current then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an
output voltage calculated by Equation 1.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Thermal Regulation
When power is dissipated in an IC, a temperature gradient occurs across the IC chip affecting the individual IC
circuit components. With an IC regulator, this gradient can be especially severe because power dissipation is
large. Thermal regulation is the effect of these temperature gradients on output voltage (in percentage output
change) per Watt of power change in a specified time. Thermal regulation error is independent of electrical
regulation or temperature coefficient, and occurs within 5 ms to 50 ms after a change in power dissipation.
Thermal regulation depends on IC layout as well as electrical design. The thermal regulation of a voltage
regulator is defined as the percentage change of VOUT, per Watt, within the first 10 ms after a step of power is
applied. The LM137 device's specification is 0.02%/W, maximum.

IIL = 0 A → 0.25 A → 0 A
Vertical sensitivity, 5 mV/div
Figure 13. Output Drift (10W Pulse for 10ms)
In Figure 13, a typical LM137 device's output drifts only 3 mV (or 0.03% of VOUT = −10 V) when a 10-W pulse is
applied for 10 ms. This performance is thus well inside the specification limit of 0.02%/W × 10 W = 0.2%
maximum. When the 10-W pulse is ended, the thermal regulation again shows a 3-mV step at the LM137 chip
cools off.
NOTE
The load regulation error of about 8 mV (0.08%) is additional to the thermal regulation
error.
In Figure 14, when the 10-W pulse is applied for 100 ms, the output drifts only slightly beyond the drift in the first
10 ms, and the thermal error stays well within 0.1% (10 mV).

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Protection Diodes
When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator, it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to
prevent the capacitors from discharging through low current points into the regulator. Most 10-μF capacitors have
low enough internal series resistance to deliver 20-A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is
enough energy to damage parts of the IC.
When an output capacitor is connected to a negative output regulator and the input is shorted, the output
capacitor pulls current out of the output of the regulator. The current depends on the value of the capacitor, the
output voltage of the regulator, and the rate at which VIN is shorted to ground.
The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs
when either the input, or the output, is shorted. Figure 15 shows the placement of the protection diodes.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM137 and LM337-N are versatile, high performance, negative output linear regulators with high accuracy
and a wide temperature range. An output capacitor can be added to further improve transient response, and the
ADJ pin can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios. The device's functionality can be utilized in
many different applications that require negative voltage supplies, such as bipolar amplifiers, operational
amplifiers, and constant current regulators.
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Adjustable Negative Voltage Regulator
The LM137 and LM337-N can be used as a simple, negative output regulator to enable a variety of output
voltages needed for demanding applications. By using an adjustable R2 resistor, a variety of negative output
voltages can be made possible as shown in Figure 16.
Full output current not available at high input-output voltages
†C1 = 1-μF solid tantalum or 10-μF aluminum electrolytic required for stability
*C2 = 1-μF solid tantalum is required only if regulator is more than 4 inches from power-supply filter capacitor
Output capacitors in the range of 1 μF to 1000 μF of aluminum or tantalum electrolytic are commonly used to provide
improved output impedance and rejection of transients

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage divider circuit and an
output capacitor for load regulation. An input capacitor is needed if the device is more than 4 inches from the
filter capacitors.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The output voltage is set based on the selection of the two resistors, R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 16.

8.2.2 Adjustable Lab Voltage Regulator
The LM337-N can be combined with a positive regulator such as the LM317-N to provide both a positive and
negative voltage rail. This can be useful in applications that use bi-directional amplifiers and dual-supply
operational amplifiers.

8.2.4 −5.2-V Regulator with Electronic Shutdown
The LM337-N can be used with a PNP transistor to provide shutdown control from a TTL control signal. The PNP
can short or open the ADJ pin to GND. When ADJ is shorted to GND by the PNP, the output is −1.3V. When
ADJ is disconnected from GND by the PNP, then the LM337-N outputs the programmed output of −5.2 V.
Minimum output ≃ −1.3 V when control input is low

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input supply to the LM137 and LM337-N must be kept at a voltage level such that its maximum input to
output differential voltage rating is not exceeded. The minimum dropout voltage must also be met with extra
headroom when possible to keep the LM137 and LM337-N in regulation. TI recommends an input capacitor,
especially when the input pin is placed more than 4 inches away from the power-supply filter capacitor.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Some layout guidelines must be followed to ensure proper regulation of the output voltage with minimum noise.
Traces carrying the load current must be wide to reduce the amount of parasitic trace inductance and the
feedback loop from VOUT to ADJ must be kept as short as possible. To improve PSRR, a bypass capacitor can
be placed at the ADJ pin and must be placed as close as possible to the IC. In cases when VIN shorts to ground,
an external diode must be placed from VIN to VOUT to divert the surge current into the output capacitor and
protect the IC. Similarly, in cases when a large bypass capacitor is placed at the ADJ pin and VOUT shorts to
ground, an external diode must be placed from VOUT to ADJ to provide a path for the bypass capacitor to
discharge. These diodes must be placed close to the corresponding IC pins to increase their effectiveness.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
10.3.1 Heatsinking SOT-223 Package Parts
The SOT-223 DCY packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a heatsink. To optimize the
heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the package to the plane.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 20 assumes a θ(J−A) of 75°C/W
for 1 ounce copper and 51°C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
