APPLICATION INFORMATION
GM6605 series linear regulators provide fixed and adjustable output voltages at currents up to 5.0A. These
regulators are protected against over-current conditions and include thermal shutdown protection. The
GM6605 has a composite PNP-NPN output transistor
and require an output capacitor for stability.
Protection Diodes
When large external capacitors are used with most
linear regulator, it is wise to add protection diodes. If
the input voltage of the regulator is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value
A detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor is as
of capacitor, output voltage, and rate at which VIN

causes an immediate drop in output voltage given by:
work of several tantalum and ceramic capacitors in parallel is commonly used. This reduces overall ESR and
minimizes the instantaneous output voltage drop under
transient load conditions. The output capacitor network
should be placed as close to the load as possible for
the best results.
In GM6605 linear regulators, the discharge path is
through a large junction, and protection diodes are
normally not needed. However, if the regulator is
used with large output capacitance values and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground,
damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected

Output Voltage Sensing
GM6605 series is three terminal regulator, so they cannot provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation
is limited by the resistance of the conductors connecting the regulator to the load. For best results, Gm6605
should be connected as shown in Figure 2.

Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat
Sink Requirements
GM6605 series precision linear regulators include thermal shutdown and current limit circuitry to protect the
devices. However, high power regulators normally operate at high junction temperatures so it is important to
calculate the power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to be sure that you use and adequate
heat sink. The case is connected to VOUT on GM6605.
so electrical isolation may be required for some applications. Thermal compound should always be used
GM6605
with high current regulators like GM6605.

The thermal characteristics of an IC depend on four
factors:
1. Maximum Ambient Temperature TA (°C)
2. Power Dissipation PD (Watts)
3. Maximum Junction Temperature TJ (°C)
4. Thermal Resistance Junction to ambient RQJA
(°C/W)
These relationship of these four factors is expressed
by equation (1):
TJ = TA + PD X RQJA ........(1)
Maximum ambient temperature and power dissipation are determined by the design while the maximum
junction temperature and thermal resistance depend
on the manufacturer and the package type.
The maximum power dissipation for a regulator is expressed by equation (2):
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
IQ is the maximum quiescent current at IOUT(max).
A heat sink effectively increases the surface area of
the package to improve the flow of heat away from
the IC into the air. Each material in the heat flow path
between the IC and the environment has a thermal resistance. Like series electrical resistances, these re-
,
sistance are summed to determine RQJA the total
thermal resistance between the junction and the air.
This is expressed by equation (3):
RQJA = RQJC + RQ CS+ R QSA ........(3)
Where all of the following are in °C/W:
RQJC is thermal resistance of junction to case,
RQCS is thermal resistance of case to heat sink,
RQSA is thermal resistance of heat sink to ambient air
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 GM6605, the majority of the heat is
generated in the power transistor section.
