National Semiconductor LM104 LM204 LM304 Negative Regulator Data Manual
Summary
The LM104 series represents a family of precision voltage regulators designed to provide stable, regulated negative voltages for electronic systems. This technical document covers detailed specifications, performance curves, and operating parameters for three variants—LM104, LM204, and LM304—catering to varying temperature ranges from 0°C up to 125°C. It is essential reading for engineers designing circuits that require reliable negative biasing or power supplies.

LM104/LM204/LM304 Negative Regulator General Description
The LM104 series are precision voltage regulators which The LM104 series is the complement of the LM105 positive can be programmed by single external resistor to supply regulator, intended for systems requiring regulated negative any voltage from 40V down to zero while operating from voltages which have common ground with the unregulated single unregulated supply. They can also provide 0.01-per- supply. By themselves, they can deliver output currents to cent regulation in circuits using separate, floating bias m A, but external transistors can be added to get any supply, where the output voltage is limited only by the desired current. The output voltage is set by external resis- breakdown of external pass transistors. Although designed tors, and either constant or foldback current limiting is made primarily as linear, series regulators, the circuits can be used available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the specified operating temperature ranges for the different models?
The LM104 operates from 55°C to 125°C; the LM204 is rated from 25°C to 85°C, and the LM304 supports 0°C to 70°C.
Can these regulators function as switching or current limiters?
Yes, although designed primarily as linear series regulators, they can be used as switching regulators, current regulators, or in various other control applications.
How is the output voltage regulated for the LM104 family?
The output voltage is set by external resistors and the breakdown of external pass transistors.
What are the recommended voltages for Input Voltage Differential?
It is 50V for the LM104/LM204 models, but it drops to 40V for the LM304 model.
