CS5201-3 CS5201-3 1A, 3.3V Fixed Linear Regulator Description The CS5201-3 linear regulator provides a 1A@ 3.3V reference at 1A with an output voltage accuracy of ±1.5%. This regulator is intended for use as a post regulator and microprocessor supply. The fast loop response and low dropout voltage make this regulator ideal for applications where low voltage operation and good transient response are important. The circuit is designed to operate with dropout voltages less than 1.2V at 1A output current. Features The maximum quiescent current is only 10mA at full load. Device protection includes overcurrent and thermal shutdown. The CS5201-3 is pin compatible with the LT1086 family of linear regulators. The regulator is available in TO-220, surface mount D2, and SOT-223 packages. ■ Output Current to 1A ■ Output Accuracy to ±1.5% Over Temperature ■ Dropout Voltage (typical) 1.0V @ 1A ■ Fast Transient Response ■ Fault Protection Current Limit Thermal Shutdown Package Options Application Diagram 3L TO-220 Tab (VOUT) 3L D2PAK Tab (VOUT) VOUT VIN 1 3.3V @ 1A CS5201-3 GND 1 3L SOT-223 22mF 5V 10mF 5V Tab (VOUT) CS5201 -3 1 Gnd 2 VOUT (Tab) 3 VIN 1 Consult factory for other fixed output voltage versions.

The regulator is protected against overcurrent conditions and includes thermal shutdown. The CS5201-3 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. Protection Diodes 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 CS5201-3 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 1 is recommended. Stability Considerations The output or 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 are 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 manufacturersÕ data sheet provides this information. A 22µF tantalum capacitor will work for most applications, but with high current regulators such as the CS5201-3 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: IN4002 VIN VOUT VIN C1 (optional) VOUT CS5201-3 C2 GND Figure 1. Protection diode scheme for large output capacitors. ÆV = ÆI ´ ESR Output Voltage Sensing 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 load transient conditions. The output capacitor network should be as close as possible to the load for the best results. Since the CS5201-3 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 2. 4 CS5201-3 Applications Information: continued The maximum power dissipation for a regulator is: RC VIN conductor parasitic resistance PD(max)={VIN(max)ÐVOUT(min)}IOUT(max)+VIN(max)IQ VOUT VIN CS5201-3 (2) where RLOAD 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). 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 RQJA, the total thermal resistance between the junction and the surrounding air. Figure 2. Conductor parasitic resistance effects can be minimized with the above grounding scheme for fixed output regulators. Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat Sink Requirements 1. Thermal Resistance of the junction to case, RQJC (¡C/W) The CS5201-3 linear regulator includes thermal shutdown and current limit 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. 2. Thermal Resistance of the case to Heat Sink, RQCS (¡C/W) 3. Thermal Resistance of the Heat Sink to the ambient air, RQSA (¡C/W) The case is connected to VOUT on the CS5201-3, and electrical isolation may be required for some applications. Thermal compound should always be used with high current regulators such as these. These are connected by the equation: RQJA = RQJC + RQCS + RQSA (3) The thermal characteristics of an IC depend on the following four factors: The value for RQJA is calculated using equation (3) and the result can be substituted in equation (1). 1. Maximum Ambient Temperature TA (¡C) The value for RQJC is 3.5ûC/W. For a high current regulator such as the CS5201-3 the majority of the heat is generated in the power transistor section. The value for RQSA depends on the heat sink type, while RQCS 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 RQJA can be calculated and the proper heat sink selected. For further discussion on heat sink selection, see application note ÒThermal Management for Linear Regulators.Ó 2. Power dissipation PD (Watts) 3. Maximum junction temperature TJ (¡C) 4. Thermal resistance junction to ambient RQJA (C/W) These four are related by the equation TJ = TA + PD ´ RQJA (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. 5 CS5201-3 Package Specification PACKAGE DIMENSIONS IN mm(INCHES) PACKAGE THERMAL DATA 3L TO-220 3.5 50 Thermal Data RQJC typ RQJA typ 3 Lead TO-220 (T) Straight 3L 3L D2PAK SOT-223 3.5 15 10 - 50* 156 ûC/W ûC/W *Depending on thermal properties of substrate.
