If the ouput of the LM317 is 1.25V with a few mA load, then the LM317 must be working OK. If you can see the op amp output varying 0 to 5V but the output of the LM317 doesn't change from 1.25V then there's a wiring error such as the LM317's Adj pin incorrectly connected to GND. The output voltage range of your circuit is going to be only min 2.2V to max 6.25V. |

Looking at two different datasheets they show output C of 1 uF. Makes me wonder what the phase margin is if 10 uF like you have. Note there is a graph of Zo vs f for 1 uF, maybe an estimate can be done from that. This affects transient response, ringing due to load changes. Regards, Dana. |

You might be able to do something like this. The transistor helps to pull the ADJ pin and min load current ( 8 ma?)down to 0V. The 2 2K2s multiply the 0-5V input by 2 to give a max output voltage of 11.25V - depending on V+. |

dont forget your bypass caps and protection diodes if needed. R1 and R2 have a gain of 2, your buffer output goes instead of V2. |
