KA317LZTF

KA317LZTF is a Three-terminal Adjustable Positive Voltage Regulator, produced by Shandong Ke Hua. It is an advanced linear voltage regulator which is widely used in a variety of electronic circuits.

KA317LZTF is available in TO-92, SOT-89, SOT-23 and DIP-8 packages with adjustable output voltage up to 22V. The maximum output current of the device is 1A and temperature range is 0°C to 125°C. The device offers excellent stability and preferred over other low dropout regulators because of their low bandgap reference stability.

When it comes to applications, the KA317LZTF is best suited for applications that require well regulated voltage supply or low noise power supply. It can be used in computers, mobile phones and various other electronic devices which require low-dropout linear regulator. It is also used in networking applications, such as providing power to network switches, servers, routers and other stationary devices.

As for its working principle, KA317LZTF operates on the concept of negative feedback loop. It uses a voltage reference such as a zener diode to measure the voltage of the device output and adjust the input voltage accordingly to maintain its output voltage at desired level. The device also uses two transistors, a PNP and an NPN, for controlling the output current. The NPN transistor controls the current supplied by the regulator and the PNP transistor limits the current supplied to the device.

KA317LZTF also has a built-in thermal protection and current limit protection, which is enabled when the junction temperature of the active components exceeds the maximum allowed temperature. The thermal protection ensures safe operation of the device by shutting off the current supplied to the device in case of any fault.

Overall, KA317LZTF is an excellent, low-dropout linear regulator that offers improved performance, better power supply regulation and low-noise operation. It is suitable for a wide range of applications such as computers and mobile phones, and offers excellent stability and preferred over other low dropout regulators.
