Dwight,
My humblest apologies, I had misread your post. Maybe I shouldn't read these
at 2:00 AM !! Sorry.
Best regards, Steven

Hi
I found it interesting but I do know what a LM337 is.
I've had the honor to have lunch with Bob once.
Dwight
Dwight,
The LM337 is a 3-terminal negative adjustable regulator. It
supplies in excess of 1.5A over an output voltage range of
-1.2V to - 37V. This regulator requires only two external
resistor to set the output voltage. Included on the chip are
current limiting, thermal overload protection and safe area
compensation.
Best regards, Steven
Hi
As I said, I knew that. It is the negative
voltage compliment of the LM317.
