DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 5021 is a user adjustable voltage regulator capable of delivering 20 amps to a load with only a 0.5 volt
dropout voltage rating. The output voltage is adjustable from 1.3 volts to 36 volts through the selection of two
external resistors. Low dropout voltage ratings are achieved by employing a unique parallel MOSFET output pass
transistor configuration which drives power dissipation down and efficiency up. Accuracy is guaranteed with a ±1%
voltage tolerance at room temperature that only varies ±2% over temperature. A TTL level can be used to enable/
disable the device and a regulation dropout fault pin provides a means of monitoring the output level. The MSK 5021
is packaged in a thermally efficient 12 pin power dip that can be bolted directly to a heat sink.

APPLICATION NOTES
CPUMP:
For all applications, the user must connect a 1.0uF capacitor
from pin 4 directly to ground. This capacitor is part of the
circuit which drives the gate of the internal MOSFETS. Approximately three times the voltage seen on the input will appear across this capacitor. Careful attention must be paid to
capacitor voltage rating since voltages larger than the power
supply are present.
MINIMIZING OUTPUT RIPPLE:
The output voltage ripple of the MSK 5021 voltage regulator
can be minimized by placing a filter capacitor from the output
to ground. The optimum value for this capacitor may vary
from one application to the next and is best determined by
experimentation. Transient load response can also be improved
by placing a 33uF or larger capacitor directly across the load.
HEAT SINK SELECTION:
To select a heat sink for the MSK 5021, the following formula
for convective heat flow must be used.
CASE CONNECTIONS:
Governing Equation:
Tj = Pd x (Rθjc + Rθcs + Rθsa) + Ta
WHERE:
Tj = Junction Temperature
Pd = Total Power Dissipation
Rθjc = Junction to Case Thermal Resistance
Rθcs = Case to Heat Sink Thermal Resistance
Rθsa = Heat Sink to Ambient Thermal Resistance
Ta = Ambient Temperature
The case of the MSK 5021 is connected to pin seven of the
package but isolated from the internal circuitry allowing direct
attachment of the heat sink to the case. It may be necessary
in some applications to ground the case to limit noise or eliminate oscillations on the output. Pin seven can be left as a no
connect if the designer chooses.
LOAD REGULATION:
First, the power dissipation must be calculated as follows:
Power Dissipation = (Vin - Vout) x Iout
Next, the user must select a maximum junction temperature.
The absolute maximum allowable junction temperature is 175°C.
The equation may now be rearranged to solve for the required
heat sink to ambient thermal resistance (Rθsa).
For best results, the ground pin should be connected directly to
the load (see next note). This effectively reduces the ground
loop effect and eliminates excessive voltage drop in the sense
leg. It is also important to keep the output connection between the regulator and the load as short as possible since this
directly affects the load regulation. For example, if 20 gauge
wire were used which has a resistance of about .008 ohms per
foot, this would result in a drop of 80mV/ft at a load current of
10 amps.
EXAMPLE;
An MSK 5021 is configured for Vin = +7V and Vout = +3.3V.
Iout is a continuous 10A DC level. The ambient temperature is
+25°C. The maximum desired junction temperature is 150°C.
Rθjc = 0.5°C/W and Rθcs = 0.15°C/W typically.
LOAD CONNECTIONS:
In voltage regulator applications where very large load currents are present, the load connection is very important. The
path connecting the output of the regulator to the load must be
extremely low impedance to avoid affecting the load regulation
specifications. Any impedance in this path will form a voltage
divider with the load. The same holds true for the connection
from the low end of the load to ground. For best load regulation, the low end of the load must be connected directly to pin
3 of the MSK 5021 and not to a ground plane inches away
from the hybrid.
Power Dissipation = (7V - 3.3V) x (10A)
= 37 Watts
Solve for Rθsa:
Rθsa = 150°C - 25°C - 0.5°C/W - 0.15°C/W
37W
= 2.728°C/W
In this example, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of no
more than 2.73°C/W must be used to maintain a junction temperature of no more than 150°C.
ENABLE/DISABLE PIN:
POWER DISSIPATION:
The MSK 5021 voltage regulator is equipped with a TTL compatible ENABLE pin. A TTL high level on this pin activates the
internal bias circuit and powers up the device. A TTL low level
on this pin places the controller in shutdown mode and the
device draws only 10µA of quiescent current. This pin can be
pulled up to VIN if the enable function is not desired.
The output pass transistors in the MSK 5021 are rated to dissipate nearly 200 watts. The limiting factor of this device is
effective dissipation of heat generated under such conditions.
For example, to dissipate 200 watts, calculations show that
the MSK 5021 would have to be bolted to the underbelly of a
submarine submerged in the Artic Ocean! Careful consideration must be paid to heat dissipation and junction temperature
when applying this device.
FAULT PIN CONNECTIONS:
CURRENT LIMIT CONNECTIONS:
Pin 6 of the MSK 5021 is the FAULT pin. When the output
voltage drops 6% or more below its nominal value, the voltage
level on the fault pin drops to a logic low (typically less than
0.1 volts). This pin can be used to drive a light emitting diode
or other external circuitry as long as the current is limited to
less than 10.0mA (see typical connection diagram). The fault
pin is an open collector output so the high state output voltage
will be equal to the pull up voltage since no current flows under
these conditions.
To implement current limiting, a sense resistor (Rsc) must be
placed from pin 5 to pins 8 and 9 as shown in the typical
connection diagram. When the voltage drop across the sense
resistor reaches 35mV, the internal control loop limits the output current only enough to maintain 35mV across the sense
resistor. The device is not disabled. The following formula
may be used to find the correct value of sense resistance:
RSC=35mV/ILIM
If current limit is not required simply connect the Vsc pins directly to the input voltage along with the sense pin. Refer to
the typical connection diagram for an illustration.

TYPICAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM
The above connection diagram illustrates an MSK 5021 regulator. Q1 turns on the fault L.E.D. when pin 6 of the
hybrid drops to a logic low. Current into pin 6 is limited to approximately 1mA by the 12KΩ resistor from pin 5 to pin
6. The optimum value of capacitance COUT may vary from one application to the next depending on the load applied.
10µF is a good starting point. The ENABLE input is TTL compatible but can be tied to the input voltage when
shutdown is not needed. RSC should be selected for the desired current limit. See current limit connections application note.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT:
The output voltage of the MSK 5021 can be adjusted from +1.3 volts to +36 volts. Refer to the following
formula for resistor divider selection. R2 shall be 10KΩ for all applications.
RADJUST = 1 x 104 ((Vout/1.235)-1)
