Hello,
I am trying to use a LM317 adjustable regulator.
My Vin is 14VDC. I need to have an output of about 5VDC at 50ma.
My question is, is Vref a constant at 1.25VDC???
I looked at some previous posts and could not figure it out!
Why doesn't the formula take into account the Vin???
confused... can anyone show me the calculations to obtain approx. "14VDC in" to a variable "4.5 to 5.5 VDC" out using an LM317 V-regulator.
Thanks for all help!
