CS5207-3
7A, 3.3V Fixed Linear Regulator
CS5207-3
The CS5207-3 linear regulator provides 7A at 3.3V with an accuracy
of ±2%.
The regulator is intended for use as
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 as low as 1V
depending on the output current
level. The maximum quiescent current is only 10mA at full load.
The regulator is fully protected
against overload conditions with
protection circuitry for Safe
Operating Area (SOA), overcurrent
and thermal shutdown.
The CS5207-3 is available in 3 lead
D2PAK and TO-220 packages.

Note 1: Load regulation and output voltage are measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in out-
put voltage due to thermal gradients or temperature changes must be taken into account separately.
Note 2: Specifications apply for an external Kelvin sense connection at a point on the output pin 1/4Ó from the bottom of the package.
Note 3: Dropout voltage is a measurement of the minimum input/output differential at full load.
