CS5206 -1,-3,-5 CS5206 -1,-3,-5 6A Adjustable, and Fixed 3.3V and 5V Linear Regulators Description The CS5206 -X series of linear regulators provides 6A at adjustable and fixed voltages of 3.3V and 5V with an accuracy of ±1% and ±2% respectively. The adjustable version uses two external resistors to set the output voltage within a 1.25V to 13V range. Features and good transient response are important. ■ Output Current to 6A The circuit is designed to operate with dropout voltages as low as 1V depending on the output current level. The maximum quiescent current is only 10mA at full load. ■ Dropout Voltage 1.3V @ 6A The regulators are fully protected against overload conditions with protection circuitry for Safe Operating Area (SOA), overcurrent and thermal shutdown. The regulators are intended for use as post regulators and microprocessor supplies. The fast loop response and low dropout voltage make these regulators ideal for applications where low voltage operation ■ Output Trimmed to +/- 1% ■ Fast Transient Response ■ Fault Protection Circuitry Thermal Shutdown Overcurrent Protection Safe Area Protection The regulators are available in TO220 and surface mount D2 packages.

The regulators are protected against short circuit, and include thermal shutdown and safe area protection (SOA) circuitry. The SOA protection circuitry decreases the maximum available output current as the input-output differential voltage increases. The CS5206 -X 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. The output voltage is set according to the formula: ( ) VOUT = VREF ´ R1 + R2 + IAdj ´ R2 R1 The term IAdj ´ R2 represents the error added by the adjust pin current. R1 is chosen so that the minimum load current is at least 10mA. R1 and R2 should be the same type, e.g. metal film for best tracking over temperature. The adjust pin is bypassed to improve the transient response and ripple rejection of the regulator. Adjustable Operation The adjustable regulator (CS5206 -1) has an output voltage range of 1.25V to 13V. An external resistor divider sets the output voltage as shown in Figure 1. The regulator maintains a fixed 1.25V (typical) reference between the output pin and the adjust pin. A resistor divider network R1 and R2 causes a fixed current to flow to ground. This current creates a voltage across R2 that adds to the 1.25V across R1 and sets the overall output voltage. The adjust pin current (typically 50µA) also flows through R2 and adds a small error that should be taken into account if precise adjustment of VOUT is necessary.

Resistor divider scheme for the adjustable version. 4 CS5206-1,-3,-5 Applications Information: continued 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 is 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 manufacturers data sheet provides this information. A 22µF tantalum capacitor will work for most applications, but with high current regulators such as the CS5206 -X the transient response and stability improve with higher values of capacitor. 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 (optional) VOUT VIN C1 VOUT CS5206-X C2 Gnd Figure 2b. Protection diode scheme for fixed output regulators. Output Voltage Sensing Since the CS5206 -X 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 fixed regulators should be connected as shown in Figure 3. ÆV = ÆI ´ ESR 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. VIN RC VOUT VIN conductor parasitic resistance CS5206-X RLOAD Gnd 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 CS5206-X family of linear regulators, 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 Figures 2a and 2b is recommended. IN4002 VIN C1 For the adjustable regulator, the best load regulation occurs when R1 is connected directly to the output pin of the regulator as shown in Figure 4. If R1 is connected to the load, RC is multiplied by the divider ratio and the effective resistance between the regulator and the load becomes ( RC ´ R1 + R2 R1 ) RC = conductor parasitic resistance VIN (optional) VOUT VIN Figure 3.

Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat Sink Requirements The CS5206 -X series of linear regulators includes thermal shutdown and safe operating area 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. 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. The case is connected to VOUT on the CS5206 -X, electrical isolation may be required for some applications. Thermal compound should always be used with high current regulators such as these. 1. Thermal Resistance of the junction to case, RQJC (¡C/W) 2. Thermal Resistance of the case to Heat Sink, RQCS (¡C/W) The thermal characteristics of an IC depend on the following four factors: 3. Thermal Resistance of the Heat Sink to the ambient air, RQSA (¡C/W) 1. Maximum Ambient Temperature TA (¡C) 2. Power dissipation PD (Watts) These are connected by the equation: 3. Maximum junction temperature TJ (¡C) RQJA = RQJC + RQCS + RQSA 4. Thermal resistance junction to ambient RQJA (C/W) The value for RQJA is calculated using equation (3) and the result can be substituted in equation (1). These four are related by the equation TJ = TA + PD ´ RQJA The value for RQJC is normally quoted as a single figure for a given package type based on an average die size. For a high current regulator such as the CS5206 -X 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 (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. The maximum power dissipation for a regulator is: PD(max)={VIN(max)ÐVOUT(min)}IOUT(max)+VIN(max)IQ (3) (2) where 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). 6 CS5206 -1,-3,-5 Package Specification PACKAGE DIMENSIONS IN mm(INCHES) PACKAGE THERMAL DATA Thermal Data RQJC RQJA typ typ 3L TO-220 1.6 50 3L D2PAK 1.6 10 - 50* ûC/W ûC/W *Depending on thermal properties of substrate.
