CS5201−1
1.0 A Adjustable Linear
Regulator
The CS5201−1 linear regulator provides 1.0 A with an output
voltage accuracy of ±1.0 %. The device uses two external resistors to
set the output voltage within a 1.25 V to 5.5 V range.
This regulator is intended for use as a post regulator and
microprocessor supply. The fast loop response and low dropout
voltage make this regulator ideal for applications where low voltage
operation and good transient response are important.
The circuit is designed to operate with dropout voltages less than 1.2 V
at 1.0 A output current. Device protection includes overcurrent and
thermal shutdown.
The CS5201 is pin compatible with the LT1086 family of linear
regulators.
The regulator is available in TO−220, surface mount D2, and
SOT−223 packages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The CS5201−1 linear regulator provides adjustable voltages
at currents up to 1.0 A. The regulator is protected against
overcurrent conditions and includes thermal shutdown.
The CS5201−1 has a composite PNP−NPN output
transistor and requires an output capacitor for stability. A
detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor is included in
the Stability Considerations section.
A resistor divider network R1 and R2 causes a fixed current
to flow to ground. This current creates a voltage across R2
that adds to the 1.25 V across R1 and sets the overall output
voltage. The adjust pin current (typically 50 mA) also flows
through R2 and adds a small error that should be taken into
account if precise adjustment of VOUT is necessary.
The output voltage is set according to the formula:
Adjustable Operation
VOUT + VREF
The CS5201−1 has an output voltage range of 1.25 V to
5.5 V. An external resistor divider sets the output voltage as
shown in Figure 11. The regulator maintains a fixed 1.25 V
(typical) reference between the output pin and the adjust pin.

ǒR1 R1

The term IAdj × R2 represents the error added by the adjust
pin current.

CS5201−1
R1 is chosen so that the minimum load current is at least
2.0 mA. R1 and R2 should be the same type, e.g. metal film
for best tracking overtemperature. While not required, a
bypass capacitor from the adjust pin to ground will improve
ripple rejection and transient response. A 0.1 mF tantalum
capacitor is recommended for “first cut” design. Type and
value may be varied to obtain optimum performance vs.
price.
fail−safe operation is required. One possible clamp circuit is
illustrated in Figure 12; however, the design of clamp
circuitry must be done on an application by application
basis. Care must be taken to ensure the clamp actually
protects the design. Components used in the clamp design
must be able to withstand the short circuit condition
indefinitely while protecting the IC.

Short Circuit Protection
Figure 12. Short Circuit Protection Circuit for
High Voltage Application.
The CS5201−1 linear regulator has an absolute maximum
specification of 7.0 V for the voltage difference between VIN
and VOUT. However, the IC may be used to regulate voltages
in excess of 7.0 V. The main considerations in such a design
are power−up and short circuit capability.
In most applications, ramp−up of the power supply to VIN
is fairly slow, typically on the order of several tens of
milliseconds, while the regulator responds in less than one
microsecond. In this case, the linear regulator begins
charging the load as soon as the VIN to VOUT differential is
large enough that the pass transistor conducts current. The
load at this point is essentially at ground, and the supply
voltage is on the order of several hundred millivolts, with the
result that the pass transistor is in dropout. As the supply to
VIN increases, the pass transistor will remain in dropout, and
current is passed to the load until VOUT reaches the point at
which the IC is in regulation. Further increase in the supply
voltage brings the pass transistor out of dropout. The result
is that the output voltage follows the power supply ramp−up,
staying in dropout until the regulation point is reached. In
this manner, any output voltage may be regulated. There is
no theoretical limit to the regulated voltage as long as the
VIN to VOUT differential of 7.0 V is not exceeded.
However, the possibility of destroying the IC in a short
circuit condition is very real for this type of design. Short
circuit conditions will result in the immediate operation of
the pass transistor outside of its safe operating area.
Over−voltage stresses will then cause destruction of the pass
transistor before overcurrent or thermal shutdown circuitry
can become active. Additional circuitry may be required to
clamp the VIN to VOUT differential to less than 7.0 V if
Stability Considerations
The output compensation capacitor helps determine three
main characteristics of a linear regulator: startup delay, load
transient response, and loop stability.
The capacitor value and type is based on cost, availability,
size and temperature constraints. A tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic capacitor is best, since a film or ceramic
capacitor with almost zero ESR can cause instability. The
aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive
solution. However, when the circuit operates at low
temperatures, both the value and ESR of the capacitor will
vary considerably. The capacitor manufacturer’s data sheet
provides this information.
A 22 mF tantalum capacitor will work for most
applications, but with high current regulators such as the
CS5201−1 the transient response and stability improve with
higher values of capacitance. The majority of applications
for this regulator involve large changes in load current so the
output capacitor must supply the instantaneous load current.
The ESR of the output capacitor causes an immediate drop
in output voltage given by:
DV + DI
ESR
For microprocessor applications it is customary to use an
output capacitor network consisting of several tantalum and
ceramic capacitors in parallel. This reduces the overall ESR
and reduces the instantaneous output voltage drop under
transient load conditions. The output capacitor network
should be as close to the load as possible for the best results.

Protection Diodes
Calculating Power Dissipation and Heatsink
Requirements
When large external capacitors are used with a linear
regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes.
If the input voltage of the regulator gets shorted, the output
capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The
discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the
output voltage and the rate at which VIN drops. In the
CS5201−1 linear regulator, the discharge path is through a
large junction and protection diodes are not usually needed.
If the regulator is used with large values of output
capacitance and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted
to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected
as shown in Figure 13 is recommended.

The CS5201−1 linear regulator includes thermal
shutdown and current limit circuitry to protect the device.
High power regulators such as these usually operate at high
junction temperatures so it is important to calculate the
power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to
ensure that an adequate Heatsink is used.
The case is connected to VOUT on the CS5201−1,
electrical isolation may be required for some applications.
Thermal compound should always be used with high current
regulators such as these.
The thermal characteristics of an IC depend on the
following four factors:

These four are related by the Equation

Output Voltage Sensing
Since the CS5201−1 is a three terminal regulator, it is not
possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load
regulation is limited by the resistance of the conductors
connecting the regulator to the load.
For the adjustable regulator, the best load regulation
occurs when R1 is connected directly to the output pin of the
regulator as shown in Figure 14. If R1 is connected to the
load, RC is multiplied by the divider ratio and the effective
resistance between the regulator and the load becomes.

VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage,
VOUT(min) is the minimum output voltage,
IOUT(max) is the maximum output current, for the
application
IQ is the maximum quiescent current at IOUT(max).
A Heatsink effectively increases the surface area of the
package to improve the flow of heat away from the IC and
into the surrounding air.
Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the
outside environment has a thermal resistance. Like series
electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to
determine RqJA, the total thermal resistance between the
junction and the surrounding air.

the package. Once these calculations are complete, the
maximum permissible value of RqJA can be calculated and
the proper Heatsink selected. For further discussion on
Heatsink selection, see application note “Thermal
Management,” document number AND8036/D, available
through the Literature Distribution Center or via our website

The value for RqJA is calculated using Equation (3) and
the result can be substituted in Equation (1).
The value for RqJC is 3.5°C/W for a given package type
based on an average die size. For a high current regulator
such as the CS5201−1 the majority of the heat is generated
in the power transistor section. The value for RqSA depends
on the Heatsink type, while RqCS depends on factors such as
