DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 5101 series voltage regulators are available in +3.3V, +5.0V, +12.0V or adjustable 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 350mV at 1.5 amps are typical in this configuration, which drives efficiency up and power
dissipation down. Accuracy is guaranteed with a 1% output voltage tolerance. The series also offers a TTL/CMOS
compatible on/off enable function as well as an output flag pin on the fixed voltage versions. The MSK 5101 series is
packaged in a space efficient 10 pin ceramic flatpack with a built in metal base.

APPLICATION NOTES
REGULATOR PROTECTION:
HEAT SINK SELECTION:
The MSK 5101 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.
To select a heat sink for the MSK 5100, the following formula
for convective heat flow may be used.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR:
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
The output voltage ripple of the MSK 5101 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 10µF is
recommended for optimum performance. Transient load response
can also be improved by placing a capacitor directly across the
load.
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. The MSK 5101 series requires a minimum of 10mA of load current to stay in regulation.
Governing Equation:
Tj = Pd x (Rθjc + Rθcs + Rθsa) + Ta
First, the power dissipation must be calculated as follows:
Power Dissipation = (Vin - Vout) x Iout
Next, the user must select a maximum junction temperature.
The 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).
ENABLE PIN:
EXAMPLE:
The MSK 5101 series of voltage regulators are equipped with a
TTL compatible ENABLE pin. A TTL high level on this pin activates the internal bias circuit and powers up the device. A TTL
low level on this pin places the controller in shutdown mode
and the device draws approximately 10µA of quiescent current.
If the enable function is not used, simply connect the enable pin
to the input.
An MSK 5101-3.3 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.
FLAG OUTPUT PIN:
All of the fixed output voltage versions of the MSK 5101 series
are equipped with a flag output pin. Since the flag pin is an
open collector configuration it can be pulled up to any voltage
between 3V and 26V. This feature allows direct interfacing to
practically any logic. This active low output has a typical level
of 0.22V when the flag comparator detects an "out of regulation" condition. Flag states include low input voltage and
output current limit. Extremely high level input voltage transients will also cause the flag output pin to activate.
Rθjc = 6°C/W and Rθcs = 0.5°C/W typically.
Power Dissipation = (5V - 3.3V) x (1A)
= 1.7 Watts
Solve for Rθsa:
Rθsa = 125°C - 25°C - 6°C/W - 0.5°C/W
1.7W
= 52.3°C/W
In this example, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of no more
than 52°C/W must be used to maintain a junction temperature
of no more than 125°C.
DEVICE SOLDERING/CASE CONNECTION:
MSK5101-00 OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT:
The MSK 5101-00 is an adjustable version in the series of high
performance regulators. The diagram below illustrates proper
adjustment technique for the output voltage. The series resistance of R1+R2 should be selected to pass the minimum regulator output current requirement of 10mA.
The MSK 5101 series are highly thermally conductive devices
and the thermal path from the package base to the internal junctions is very short. Standard surface mount techniques should
be used when soldering the device into a circuit board. The
external heat sink/pad needs to be connected to ground because
the base of the MSK 5101 is also electrically connected to
ground. The user is urged to keep this in mind when designing
the printed circuit board for the MSK 5101. There should be no
printed circuit traces making contact with the base of the device
except for ground. The ground plane can be used to pull heat
away from the device.
