    The LM317L wants to see 1.25 V between its VOUT pin and the Vadj pin, and it will do whatever it can to keep that voltage differential between them. So if a resistor is put in series with the output, and the Vadj pin is connected to the load side of the sense resistor, a current source is set up which follows Equation 1:  |
