CS5204−2
4.0 A, 1.5 V Fixed Linear
Regulator
The CS5204−2 linear regulator provides 4.0 A @ 1.5 V with an
accuracy of ±2.0%.
The fast loop response and low dropout voltage make this regulator
ideal for GTL bus termination where low voltage operation and good
transient response are important.
The circuit is designed to operate with dropout voltages as low as 1.0 V
depending on the output current level. The maximum quiescent current is
only 10 mA at full load.
The regulator is fully protected against overload conditions with
protection circuitry for Safe Operating Area (SOA), overcurrent and
thermal shutdown.
The regulator is available in TO−220−3 and surface mount D2PAK−3
packages.

CS5204−2
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Protection Diodes
The CS5204−2 linear regulator provides fixed 1.5 V
voltage at currents up to 4.0 A. The regulator is protected
against short circuit, and includes thermal shutdown and
safe area protection (SOA) circuitry. The SOA protection
circuitry decreases the maximum available output current as
the input−output differential voltage increase.
The CS5204−2 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.
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
CS5204−2 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 7 is recommended.
Stability Considerations
The output compensation capacitor helps determine three
main characteristics of a linear regulator: start−up 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 F tantalum capacitor will work for most
applications, but with high current regulators such as the
CS5204−2 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:

Output Voltage Sensing
Since the CS5204−2 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 best results the
regulator should be connected as shown in Figure 8.
V I ESR
VIN
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.

CS5204−2
Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat Sink
Requirements
A heat sink 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 RJA, the total thermal resistance between the
junction and the surrounding air.
1. Thermal Resistance of the junction to case, RJC
(°C/W)
2. Thermal Resistance of the case to Heat Sink, RCS
(°C/W)
3. Thermal Resistance of the Heat Sink to the ambient
air, RSA (°C/W)
These are connected by the equation:
The CS5204−2 linear regulator includes thermal
shutdown and safe operating area 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 heat sink is used.
The case is connected to VOUT on the CS5204−2,
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:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Maximum Ambient Temperature TA (°C)
Power dissipation PD (Watts)
Maximum junction temperature TJ (°C)
Thermal resistance junction to ambient RJA (°C/W)
RJA RJC RCS RSA
The value for RJA is calculated using equation (3) and the
result can be substituted in equation (1).
RJC is 1.6°C/Watt for the CS5204−2. For a high current
regulator such as the CS5204−2 the majority of the heat is
generated in the power transistor section. The value for RSA
depends on the heat sink type, while RCS depends on
factors such as package type, heat sink interface (is an
insulator and thermal grease used?), and the contact area
between the heat sink and the package. Once these
calculations are complete, the maximum permissible value
of RJA can be calculated and the proper heat sink selected.
For further discussion on heat sink selection, see application
note “Thermal Management,” document number
AND8036/D, available through the Literature Distribution
Center or via our website at http://onsemi.com.
These four are related by the equation
TJ TA PD RJA
(3)
(1)
The maximum ambient temperature and the power
dissipation are determined by the design while the
maximum junction temperature and the thermal resistance
depend on the manufacturer and the package type.
The maximum power dissipation for a regulator is:
PD(max) {VIN(max) VOUT(min)}IOUT(max) VIN(max)IQ
(2)
where:
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).
