+3.4V, +5.0V and +12.0V output configurations. All boast ultra low dropout specifications due to the utilization of
a super PNP output pass transistor with monolithic technology. Dropout voltages of 425mV at 7.5 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 MSK 5275 series is packaged in a space efficient 3 pin power surface mount
ceramic package.

APPLICATION NOTES
REGULATOR PROTECTION:
PACKAGE CONNECTIONS:
The MSK 5275 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.
The MSK 5275 series are highly thermally conductive
devices and the thermal path from the package heat sink
to the internal junctions is very short. Standard surface
mount soldering techniques should be used when mounting the device. Some applications may require additional
heat sinking of the device.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR:
HEAT SINK SELECTION:
The output voltage ripple of the MSK 5275 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 33µF is recommended for optimum performance. Transient load response can also be
improved by placing a capacitor directly across the load.
The capacitor should not be an ultra-low ESR type. Tantalum capacitors are best for fast load transients but
aluminum electrolytics will work fine in most applications.
To select a heat sink for the MSK 5275, 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
First, the power dissipation must be calculated as follows:
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.
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).
MINIMIZING POWER DISSIPATION:
Many applications can not take full advantage of the
extremely low dropout specifications of the regulator due
to large input to output voltage differences. The simple
circuit below illustrates a method to reduce the input
voltage at the regulator to just over the dropout specification to keep the internal power dissipation minimized:
EXAMPLE:
An MSK 5275-3.3 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 = 1.0°C/W and Rθcs = 0.5°C/W typically.
Power Dissipation = (5V - 3.3V) x (1A)
= 1.7 Watts
Solve for Rθsa:
Rθsa =
- 25°C - 1.0°C/W - 0.5°C/W
[125°C
]
1.7W
= 57.32°C/W
In this example, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of
no more than 57°C/W must be used to maintain a junction temperature of no more than 125°C.
For a given continuous maximum load of 1 amp, R1 can
be selected to drop the voltage seen at the regulator to
4V. This allows for the output tolerance and dropout
specifications. Input voltage variations (5V) also should
be included in the calculations. The resistor should be
sized according to the power levels required for the application.
