Voltage Regulator Calculator (LM317)

Beege · February 15, 2009

Heres my latest calculator for the LM317 voltage or current regulator. Just like my Resistance Calculator it includes an option to import a custom list of resistors. This is a very handy option when you only have certain resistor values and you want to find a Voltage output made up of only resistors you actually have. The "How to Use" section should explain everything you need to know about the calculator.(I Hope).. Please leave feedback on any suggestions or problems you might have. Thanks for looking.

Very nice. I wish I still had my Physics class. This would really help.

trancexx · February 15, 2009

Nice indeed.

"Current source" or "Constant current" for that part would be maybe more correct. But only maybe.

Min, max values definitely.

5 from me.

I like it! Would be cool to layout the the inputs on the image where they are relevant.. Just a thought..

I don't know if you can use this or not. I use it in my LED resistor calculator to get the next highest standard resistor value after the proper exact value has been calculated.

;
Func _NextHigherStandard($iR_Ohms)
   Local $iPower10 = 1, $sUnits
   While $iR_ohms > 8.2
      $iPower10 *= 10
      $iR_Ohms /= 10
   Wend
   If $iR_Ohms < 1.0 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 1.0
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 1.2 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 1.2
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 1.5 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 1.5
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 1.8 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 1.8
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 2.2 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 2.2
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 2.7 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 2.7
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 3.3 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 3.3
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 3.9 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 3.9
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 4.7 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 4.7
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 5.6 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 5.6
   ElseIf $iR_Ohms < 6.8 Then
      $iR_Ohms = 6.8
   Else
      $iR_Ohms = 8.2
   EndIf

      $sUnits = " Mega-ohm"
      $iPower10 /= 1000000

Thanks guys for looking and ideas. Geosoft, I like that find closest value Function. Ill save that. I know ill use it in the future or add it somehow to my resistance calculator. Thanks

Hi,

You should have a look at Introduction to LM317, it will help you a lot if you are working on this IC regulator.

Thanks.

Hi,

You should have a look at Introduction to LM317, I have shared a detailed introduction and have also given Proteus Simulation to download.
