Electrical characteristics for LM138/LM238 (1)

(TJ = -55 to 150 °C for LM138, TJ = -25 to 150 °C for LM238, VI - VO = 5 V, IO = 2.5 A. Although power dissipation is

internally limited, these specifications apply to power dissipation up to 50 W, unless otherwise specified)

Line regulation (2)

Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are taken into

account separately by thermal rejection.
