APPLICATION NOTES
PIN FUNCTIONS
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output capacitors are required to maintain regulation
and stability. A 220µF surface mount tantalum capacitor
in parallel with a 1.0µF ceramic capacitor from the output to ground should suffice under most conditions. If
the user finds that tighter voltage regulation is needed
during output transients, more capacitance may be added.
If more capacitance is added to the output, the bandwidth may suffer. ESR of the output capacitors should
be maintained at 0.1Ω to 1Ω.
VIN - This pin provides power to all internal circuitry
including bias, start-up, thermal limit and overcurrent
latch. Input voltage range is 2.9V to 6.5V.
GND - Internally connected to ground, this pin should be
connected externally by the user to the circuit ground.
SHUTDOWN - There are two functions to the SHUTDOWN pin. It may be used to disable the output voltage
or to reset a current latch condition. To activate the shutdown/reset functions the user must apply a voltage
greater than 1.6V to the SHUTDOWN pin. The output
voltage will turn on when the SHUTDOWN pin is pulled
below the threshold voltage. If the SHUTDOWN pin is
not used, it should be connected to ground. It should be
noted that with the shutdown pin tied to ground, a current latch condition can only be reset by cycling power
off, then on.
VOUT - This is the output pin for the device.
ADJUST - The ADJUST pin is the inverting input of the
internal error amplifier. The non-inverting input is connected to an internal 1.265V reference. This error amplifier controls the drive to the output transistor to force
the ADJUST pin to 1.265V. An external resistor divider
is connected to the output, ADJUST pin and ground to
set the output voltage.
OVERCURRENT LATCH
Overcurrent protection is provided by the MSK5921RH
series through the use of a timed latch off circuit. The
internal latch timeout is triggered by an overcurrent condition. To allow for start up surge currents, the timeout
is approximately 5.5mS at 25°C. If the overcurrent condition remains at the end of the timeout cycle, the regulator will latch off until the latch is reset. The latch condition can be reset by pulling the shutdown pin high or
cycling VIN off then back on. A thermal limit condition
will trigger the latch with no time out delay.
FIGURE 1
CURRENT LIMIT AND SOA
The MSK 5921RH current limit function is directly affected by the input and output voltages. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between VIN and ICL for various
output voltages. It is very important for the user to consult the SOA curve when using input voltages which
result in current limit conditions beyond 4.5 Amps. When
using input voltages which result in current limit above
4.5 Amps, the user must maintain output current within
the SOA curve to avoid damage to the device. Note that
5 Amp maximum is due to current carrying capability of
the internal wirebonds.
INPUT POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
To maximize transient response and minimize power
supply transients it is recommended that a 100µF tantalum capacitor is connected between VIN and ground. A
0.1µF ceramic capacitor should also be used for high
frequency bypassing.

THERMAL LIMITING
The MSK 5921RH control circuitry has a thermal shutdown temperature of approximately 150°C. This thermal shutdown can be used as a protection feature, but
for continuous operation, the junction temperature of the
pass transistor must be maintained below 150°C. Proper
heat sink selection is essential to maintain these conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CIRCUIT
HEAT SINK SELECTION
To select a heat sink for the MSK 5921RH, the following formula for convective heat flow may be used.
Governing Equation:
TJ = PD X (RθJC + RθCS + RθSA) + TA

OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
As noted in the above typical applications circuit, the
formula for output voltage selection is
R1
VOUT=1.265 1+
R2
Power Dissipation=(VIN-VOUT) x IOUT
Next, the user must select a maximum junction temperature. The absolute maximum allowable junction temperature is 150°C. The equation may now be rearranged
to solve for the required heat sink to ambient thermal
resistance (RθSA).
A good starting point for this output voltage selection is
to set R2=1K. By rearranging the formula it is simple to
calculate the final R1 value.
Example:
Table 1 below lists some of the most probable resistor
combinations based on industry standard usage.
An MSK 5921RH is connected for VIN=+3.3V and
VOUT=+2.5V. IOUT is a continuous 3A DC level. The ambient temperature is +25°C. The maximum desired junction temperature is +125°C.

RθJC=4.0°C/W and RθCS=0.15°C/W for most thermal
greases
Power Dissipation=(3.3V-2.5V) x (3A)
=2.4Watts
Solve for RθSA:
RθSA= 125°C - 25°C -4.0°C/W - 0.15°C/W
2.4W
= 36.5°C/W
In this example, a heat sink with a thermal resistance
of no more than 36.5°C/W must be used to maintain a
junction temperature of no more than 125°C.
