Is there a difference in the function of LM317 and LM117? Or is it just the specs that are different? They can both do current regulation?
Also on the LM317 datasheet:

What does the section " current limit" mean. Because it says typical 2.2Amps but everything I read says it can output 1.5 amps or less. So what is "Current Limit"?
