Hi,
Anyone have experience in using this regulator ? How is it compare to the mainstream 317 type?

Thanks

Not since the early 80’s when I was fixing b+w vidicon security cameras.
I’m not sure when they first came out but they are in my February 1973
Edition of the “Fairchild Semiconductor Linear Circuits Catalog”.
Although the patent for the Lm317 was in 1971.
US patent 3617859
Not much has changed in 40 years.
Te Lm317 requires fewer external parts and is easier to use.
