CS5253B-1
3A LDO 5-Pin Adjustable Linear Regulator
with Remote Sense Applications
Features
Description
pin is less than 1mV for an output
voltage of 2.5V with a load step of
10mA to 3A.
This new very low dropout linear
regulator reduces total power dissi-
pation in the application. To
ꢀ VOUT Range is 1.25V to
5V @ 3A
ꢀ VPOWER Dropout < 0.40V
achieve very low dropout, the inter-
nal pass transistor is powered sepa-
rately 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 deter-
mined by the minimum control
voltage.
The CS5253B-1 has a very fast tran-
sient loop response which can be
adjusted using a small capacitor on
the Adjust pin.

Internal protection circuitry pro-
vides for “bust-proof” operation,
similar to three-terminal regulators.
This circuitry, which includes over-
current, short circuit, and over-tem-
perature protection will self protect
the regulator under all fault condi-
tions.
ꢀ Short Circuit Protection
The CS5253B-1 is offered in a five-
terminal D2PAK package, which
allows for the implementation of a
remote-sense pin permitting very
accurate regulation of output volt-
age directly at the load, where it
counts, rather than at the regulator.
This remote sensing feature virtual-
ly eliminates output voltage varia-
tions due to load changes and resis-
tive voltage drops. Typical load
regulation measured at the sense
The CS5253B-1 is ideal for generat-
ing a 2.5V supply to power graph-
ics 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 opti-
mized from the CS5253-1 to allow a
lower value of output capacitor to
be used at the expense of a slower
transient response.
