The MSK 5131 series voltage regulators are available in +1.5V,+1.7V,+1.8V,+1.9V,+2.5V,+3.3V,+5.0V and
+12.0V configurations. All boast ultra low dropout specifications due to the utilization of a super PNP output pass
transistor with monolithic technology. Dropout voltages of 350mV at 3 amps are typical in this configuration, which
drives efficiency up and power dissipation down. Accuracy is guaranteed with a 1% maximum output voltage
tolerance. The series also offers a TTL/CMOS compatible on/off enable function. The MSK 5131 series is packaged
in a space efficient 5 pin power SIP available in two styles with three lead bend options.

Output decoupled to ground using 27μF minimum capacitance unless otherwise specified.
This parameter is guaranteed by design but need not be tested.
Typical parameters are representative of actual device performance but are for reference only.
All output parameters are tested using a low duty cycle pulse to maintain TJ = TC.
Industrial grade devices shall be tested to subgroup 1 unless otherwise specified.
Military grade devices ('H' suffix) shall be 100% tested to subgroups 1,2 and 3.

Please consult the factory if alternate output voltages are required.
Due to current limit, maximum output current may not be available at all values of VIN-VOUT and temperatures. See typical performance curves for clarification.
The output current limit function provides protection from transient overloads but it may exceed the maximum continuous rating.
Continuous operation in current limit may damage the device.
Continuous operation at or above absolute maximum ratings may adversely effect the device performance and/or life cycle.

APPLICATION NOTES
REGULATOR PROTECTION:
HEAT SINK SELECTION:
The MSK 5131 series is fully protected against reversed input
polarity, overcurrent faults, overtemperature conditions (Pd) and
transient voltage spikes of up to 60V. If the regulator is used
in dual supply systems where the load is returned to a negative
supply, the output voltage must be diode clamped to ground.
To select a heat sink for the MSK 5131, the following formula
for convective heat flow may be used.
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
OUTPUT CAPACITOR:
The output voltage ripple of the MSK 5131 series voltage regulators 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, but a minimum of 10μF
is recommended for optimum performance. This capacitor need
not be an expensive low ESR type: aluminum electrolytics are
adequate. In fact, extremely low ESR capacitors may contribute to instability. Tantalum capacitors are recommended for
systems where fast load transient response is important. Transient load response can also be improved by placing a capacitor directly across the load.
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 125°C.
The equation may now be rearranged to solve for the required
heat sink to ambient thermal resistance (Rθsa).
LOAD CONNECTIONS:
EXAMPLE:
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.
An MSK 5131-3.3 is configured for Vin=+5V and
Vout=+3.3V. Iout is a continuous 1A DC level. The ambient
temperature is +25°C. The maximum desired junction temperature is 125°C.
Rθjc = 2.4°C/W and Rθcs = 0.15°C/W for most thermal greases
Power Dissipation =
(5V - 3.3V) x (1A)
= 1.7 Watts
Solve for Rθsa:
Rθsa = 125°C - 25°C - 2.4°C/W - 0.15°C/W
1.7W
ENABLE PIN:
The MSK 5131 series of voltage regulators are 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 approximately 10μA of quiescent current. If the enable function is not used, simply connect the
enable pin to the input.
= 56.27°C/W
In this example, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of no
more than 56°C/W must be used to maintain a junction temperature of no more than 125°C.
DEVICE/CASE CONNECTION:
The MSK 5131 series are highly thermally conductive devices
and the thermal path from the package heat sink to the internal
junctions is very short. Since the case is electrically isolated
from the internal circuitry, the package can be directly connected to a heat sink.
