In LM 317 minimum value of voltage required between its input and output for proper functioning is :

  • A.3 V
  • B.1 V
  • C.5 V
  • D.10 V

Answer: A

The minimum input-output voltage for the LM317 is 3 V.

The LM317 adjustable regulator needs a minimum difference (dropout) between its input and output to keep regulating. The datasheet specifies line regulation for an input-output differential from 3 V up to 40 V, so designers keep at least about 3 V of headroom.

1 V is below that headroom, and 5 V or 10 V are larger margins than the minimum the device needs, so they are not the minimum value.
