100 mA adjustable regulator — the low-current LM317 tier
The LM317LILPE3 is a positive adjustable linear voltage regulator from the LM317 family, rated for 100 mA output current. The 2.5 mA quiescent current is typical for a three-terminal adjustable regulator at this current level.
PSRR and protection — why it still matters for legacy boards
Power-supply rejection ratio runs 80 dB at 120 Hz, dropping to 65 dB at the same frequency — that is the ripple rejection a designer gets on a full-wave rectified rail. Built-in over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection mean the regulator handles fault conditions without external clamp diodes or crowbar circuits — a practical advantage in a repair or retrofit scenario where board space is already fixed.
Package and temperature grade — TO-92-3 in industrial environments
Housed in a TO-226-3 / TO-92-3 through-hole package, the LM317LILPE3 is a three-lead device with a plastic body.
