LM723CN Introduction
The LM723 is a monolithic integrated programmable voltage regulator, available in a 14-lead dual in-line plastic package and an SO-14 micro package. This versatile IC offers internal current limiting, providing reliable protection for connected circuits. When the output current surpasses 150mA, an external NPN or PNP pass transistor can be integrated to handle higher loads. Additionally, the LM723 features adjustable current limiting and remote shutdown functionality.

LM723CN Package
The LM723CN in 14-DIP packaging is a Dual In-line Package with 14 pins, commonly used in integrated circuits. This type of packaging is suitable for through-hole mounting and is typically used in voltage regulators and power supply circuits. The 14-DIP package offers advantages such as easy installation and maintenance, while providing secure mechanical connections in circuits. Each pin is neatly arranged on both sides of the package, making it convenient for insertion and soldering on prototype or circuit boards.
How to Use LM723CN?
Connect the LM723CN properly into the circuit. Pins 1, 8, and 14 are NC (not connected) and are not part of the circuit. Pin 12 should be connected to the positive terminal of the input power supply, and pin 7 to the negative terminal. Pin 6 provides the internal reference voltage and is used to set the regulator's output voltage, while pins 4 and 5 are the inverting and non-inverting inputs for feedback signals. By adjusting the current limit pin (pin 2), current control can be achieved, preventing overload.
Finally, test and fine-tune the circuit. After completing the connections, use a multimeter to measure the output voltage and current. If the output is not as expected, adjust the external components or feedback loop to optimize performance.
