onsemi Voltage Regulators - Linear CS5206-5GT3

The CS5206-5GT3 is a linear voltage regulator from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. designed to provide a fixed output voltage of 5.0 V with a maximum output current of 6.0 A. It features an output voltage accuracy of ¬±2% and operates with a low dropout voltage of approximately 1.3 V at full load. The device is suitable for applications requiring stable voltage regulation, such as microprocessor supplies and post-regulation applications. This regulator includes built-in protection features, including thermal shutdown, overcurrent protection, and Safe Operating Area (SOA) protection, ensuring reliable operation under various conditions. The CS5206-5GT3 is available in both TO-220-3 and D2PAK-3 packages, making it versatile for different mounting requirements. The operating temperature range is specified from -40¬8C to +70¬8C, with a maximum junction temperature of 150¬8C. Engineers considering this product should note its fast transient response and low quiescent current of 10 mA at full load, which contribute to its efficiency in low voltage applications.
