CS5205-5GT3

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The CS5205-5GT3 is a linear voltage regulator IC from onsemi, providing a fixed positive output of 5.0 V with a maximum current capacity of 5.0 A. It features an accuracy of ±2.0% for fixed voltage settings and utilizes a TO-220-3 straight package. This component belongs to the CS5205-x series, which supports both adjustable and fixed voltage configurations.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Feature Summary

• Provides stable 5.0 V fixed output at 5.0 A load
• Ensures high voltage accuracy with ±2.0% tolerance
• Designed for robust thermal performance in industrial applications

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Applications

• Industrial power supply systems
• Embedded control circuits requiring stable 5V rails
• General-purpose linear regulation tasks

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix GT3 corresponds to the TO-220-3 straight package configuration. Confirm that the fixed 5.0 V output meets system requirements, as the broader CS5205 series includes adjustable variants and other fixed voltages like 3.3 V. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions given the 5 A current rating.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this part when a fixed 5.0 V output is required rather than an adjustable one. The CS5204 series offers similar functionality but with lower current ratings (up to 4.0 A), making the CS5205 suitable for higher load demands. Consider the TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting and adequate heat dissipation without additional heatsinking in moderate environments.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

The CS5205-5GT3 is part of onsemi's CS5205-x series of linear regulators. This family includes variants with different fixed outputs (e.g., 3.3 V) and adjustable versions. The series is designed to provide reliable regulation for analog and digital circuits, offering better performance than standard discrete solutions in terms of noise and line regulation.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

The CS5204-5GT3 is a related part in the same family but provides only 4.0 A output current. If the application requires exactly 5.0 A, the CS5205-5GT3 is necessary. Other fixed voltage options within the series include CS5205-3GT3 (3.3 V). Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with non-onsemi equivalents.
