SG137A/SG137
500mA Negative Adjustable Regulator
Features
Description
The SG137A family of negative adjustable regulators
deliver up to 500mA output current over an output
voltage range of -1.2 V to -37 V. The device includes
significant improvements, such as better line and load
regulation, and a maximum output voltage error of 1%.
The SG137 family uses the same chip design and
guarantees maximum output voltage error of ±2%.
Every effort is made to make these devices easy to use
and difficult to damage. Internal current and power
limiting coupled with true thermal limiting prevents
device damage due to overloads or shorts even if the
regulator is not fastened to a heat sink.
The SG137A/137 family of products are ideal
complements to the SG117A/117 adjustable positive
voltage regulators.

Figure 9 · Output Voltage
The exact formula for the output voltage is:
(
)
Where: VREF = Reference Voltage and IADJ = Adjustment Pin Current. In most applications, the second term
is small enough to be ignored, typically about 0.5% of V OUT. In more critical applications, the exact formula
should be used, with IADJ equal to 65 µA. Solving for R2 yields:
Smaller values of R1 and R2 reduce the influence of IADJ on the output voltage, but the no-load current drain
on the regulator is increased. Typical values for R1 are between 100 Ω and 300 Ω, giving 12.5mA and
4.2mA no-load current. There is an additional consideration in selecting R1 the minimum load current
specification of the regulator. The operating current of the SG137A flows from input to output. If this current
is not absorbed by the load, the output of the regulator rises above the regulated value. The current drawn
by R1 and R2 is normally high enough to absorb the current, but care must be taken in no–load situations
where R1 and R2 have high values. The maximum value for the operating current, which must be absorbed,
is 5mA for the SG137A. If input and output voltage differential is less than 10V, the operating current that
must be absorbed drops to 3mA.

500mA Negative Adjustable Regulator
Typical Application Circuits
The output stability, load regulation, line regulation, thermal regulation, temperature drift, long term drift, and
noise can be improved by a factor of 6.6 over the standard regulator configuration. This assumes a zener
whose drift and noise is considerably better than the regulator itself. The LM329B has 20PPM/°C maximum
drift and about 10 times lower noise than the regulator.
In the application as shown figure 11, regulators #2 to #N tracks regulator #1 to within ±24 mV initially, and
to ±60 mV over all load, line, and temperature conditions. If any regulator output is shorted to ground, all
other outputs drop to -2V. Load regulation of regulators #2 to #N are improved by VOUT/1.25 V compared to
a standard regulator, so regulator #1 should be the one which has the lowest load current.
