| Market Reality | The LM723 is not a regulator but the CONTROLLER of one: an internal reference (about 7.15V), an error amplifier, a small pass transistor good for 150mA, and a current limiter with foldback - the kit every bench supply and lab-grade linear of the 1970s and 80s assembled around an external pass transistor, which is why the same chip runs at 150mA or 10A depending on what the schematic bolted to it. Its variants are the substitution content: the C grade moves the temperature and reference windows, and the metal-can body quietly drops the Vz reference pin, which the folded and floating designs cannot live without. | The LM723 is not a regulator but the CONTROLLER of one: an internal reference (about 7.15V), an error amplifier, a small pass transistor good for 150mA, and a current limiter with foldback - the kit every bench supply and lab-grade linear of the 1970s and 80s assembled around an external pass transistor, which is why the same chip runs at 150mA or 10A depending on what the schematic bolted to it.
