HI to all !!!!

Give the secrets to be considered while working with 3 terminal Adjustable regulators Like LM317,LM350, LM338,LM337 etc.

Please give me do and don'ts while working with LM 338. It could be a precautionary step to protect integrated circuits because it cost 100 Indian rupees.

Help me in this regard!!!!
 

Begin with a deep dive into all of the splendid National
(now TI) application notes. When you come up for air
you ought to have more usefully specific questions.
 

Hi,

You find the "dos and donts" in the datasheet.
No hidden secrets.

Just insert a reverse biased diode between input and output (i.e 1N4007, anode on output); be careful on the filtering capacitors ( could oscillate,, see data sheet ); do not use an input voltage haigher than the difference in/out stated on the data sheet; cool it with an heatsink, otherwise coul open to self protect, and the first secret, take care about the pinout !
