3.0 A LDO 5−Pin Adjustable
Linear Regulator with
Remote Sense Applications
This new very low dropout linear regulator reduces total power
dissipation in the application. To achieve very low dropout, the
internal pass transistor is powered separately from the control
circuitry. Furthermore, with the control and power inputs tied together,
this device can be used in single supply configuration and still offer a
better dropout voltage than conventional PNP − NPN based LDO
regulators. In this mode the dropout is determined by the minimum
control voltage.
The CS5253B−1 is offered in a five−terminal D
which allows for the implementation of a remote−sense pin permitting
very accurate regulation of output voltage directly at the load, where it
counts, rather than at the regulator. This remote sensing feature
virtually eliminates output voltage variations due to load changes and
resistive voltage drops. Typical load regulation measured at the sense
pin is less than 1.0 mV for an output voltage of 2.5 V with a load step
of 10 mA to 3.0 A.
The CS5253B−1 has a very fast transient loop response which can
be adjusted using a small capacitor on the Adjust pin.
Internal protection circuitry provides for “bust−proof” operation,
similar to three−terminal regulators. This circuitry, which includes
overcurrent, short circuit, and overtemperature protection will
self protect the regulator under all fault conditions.
The CS5253B−1 is ideal for generating a 2.5 V supply to power
graphics controllers used on VGA cards. Its remote sense and low
value capacitance requirements make this a low cost, high
performance solution. The CS5253B−1 is optimized from the
CS5253−1 to allow a lower value of output capacitor to be used at the
expense of a slower transient response.

APPLICATIONS NOTES
THEORY OF OPERATION
The CS5253B−1 linear regulator provides adjustable
voltages from 1.25 V to 5.0 V at currents up to 3.0 A. The
regulator is protected against short circuits, and includes a
thermal shutdown circuit with hysteresis. The output, which
is current limited, consists of a PNP−NPN transistor pair and
requires an output capacitor for stability. A detailed
procedure for selecting this capacitor is included in the
Stability Considerations section.

there are no supply sequencing problems. The output

voltage comes up. If the power input voltage comes up first,
the output will not turn on at all until the control voltage
comes up. The output can never come up unregulated.
The CS5253B−1 can also be used as a single supply device
with the control and power inputs tied together . In this mode,
the dropout will be determined by the minimum control
voltage.
Output Voltage Sensing
The CS5253B−1 five terminal linear regulator includes a
dedicated V
function. This allows for true Kelvin
SENSE
sensing of the output voltage. This feature can virtually
eliminate errors in the output voltage due to load regulation.
Regulation will be optimized at the point where the sense pin
is tied to the output.

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 1.25 V across R1 and sets the
overall output voltage. The adjust pin current (typically
50 A) also flows through R2 and adds a small error that
should be taken into account if precise adjustment of V

current is at least 10 mA. R1 and R2 should be of the same
composition for best tracking overtemperature.
While not required, a bypass capacitor connected between
the adjust pin and ground will improve transient response
and ripple rejection. A 0.1 F tantalum capacitor is
recommended for “first cut” design. Value and type may be
varied to optimize performance vs. price.
Other Adjustable Operation Considerations
The CS5253B−1 linear regulator has an absolute
maximum specification of 6.0 V for the voltage difference
between V
POWER
and V
. However, the IC may be used
OUT
to regulate voltages in excess of 6.0 V. The two main
considerations in such a design are the sequencing of power
supplies and short circuit capability.
Power supply sequencing should be such that the

circuit conditions will result in the immediate operation of

Overvoltage stresses will then cause destruction of the pass

if fail safe operation is required. One possible clamp circuit
is illustrated in Figure 21; however, the design of clamp
circuitry must be done on an application by application

protects the design. Components used in the clamp design
must be able to withstand the short circuit condition
indefinitely while protecting the IC.

capacitors being less expensive in general, but varying more
in capacitor value and ESR overtemperature.
The CS5253B−1 requires an output capacitor to guarantee
loop stability. The Stability vs ESR graph in the typical
performance section shows the minimum ESR needed to
guarantee stability, but under ideal conditions. These
include: having V
connected to V
OUT
directly at the
SENSE
IC pins; the compensation capacitor located right at the pins
with a minimum lead length; the adjust feedback resistor
divider ground, (bottom of R2 in Figure 20), connected right
at the capacitor ground; and with power supply decoupling
capacitors located close to the IC pins. The actual
performance will vary greatly with board layout for each
application. In particular, the use of the remote sensing
feature will require a larger capacitor with less ESR. For
most applications, a minimum of 33 F tantalum or 150 F
aluminum electrolytic, with an ESR less than 1.0
overtemperature, is recommended. Larger capacitors and
lower ESR will improve stability.
The load transient response, during the time it takes the
regulator to respond, is also determined by the output
capacitor. For large changes in load current, the ESR of the
output capacitor causes an immediate drop in output voltage

The output compensation capacitor helps determine three

where T is the time for the regulation loop to begin to
respond. The very fast transient response time of the
CS5253B−1 allows the ESR effect to dominate. 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
transient load conditions. The output capacitor network
should be as close to the load as possible for the best transient
response.
Protection Diodes
When large external capacitors are used with a linear
regulator, i t 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 V

drops. In
the CS5253B−1 regulator, the discharge path is through a
large junction and protection diodes are not usually needed.

to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected
as shown in Figure 22 is recommended.

A rule of thumb useful in determining if a protection diode
is required is to solve for current:

T
where:
I is the current flow out of the load capacitance when

C is the value of load capacitance
V is the output voltage, and
T is the time duration required for V

to transition
from high to being shorted.
If the calculated current is greater than or equal to the
typical short circuit current value provided in the
specifications, serious thought should be given to the use of
a protection diode.
Current Limit
The internal current limit circuit limits the output current
under excessive load conditions.
Short Circuit Protection
The device includes short circuit protection circuitry that
clamps the output current at approximately 500 mA less than
its current limit value. This provides for a current foldback
function, which reduces power dissipation under a direct
shorted load.
Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown circuitry is guaranteed by design to
activate above a die junction temperature of approximately
150°C and to shut down the regulator output. This circuitry
has 25°C of typical hysteresis, thereby allowing the
regulator to recover from a thermal fault automatically.
Calculating Power Dissipation and
Heatsink Requirements
High power regulators such as the CS5253B−1 usually
operate at high junction temperatures. Therefore, it is
important to calculate the power dissipation and junction
temperatures accurately to ensure that an adequate heatsink
is used. Since the package tab is connected to V

on the
CS5253B−1, electrical isolation may be required for some
applications. Also, as with all high power packages, thermal
compound in necessary to ensure proper heat flow. For
added safety, this high current LDO includes an internal
thermal shutdown circuit
The thermal characteristics of an IC depend on the
following four factors: junction temperature, ambient
temperature, die power dissipation, and the thermal
resistance from the die junction to ambient air. The

A heatsink 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 which is measured in degrees per watt. Like series
electrical resistances, these thermal resistances are summed
to determine the total thermal resistance between the die
junction and the surrounding air, R
. This total thermal
