CS5205A-1GT3

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

The CS5205A-1GT3 is a positive adjustable linear low-dropout (LDO) regulator manufactured by onsemi. It provides an output current of 5A with a voltage accuracy of +/-1%. The device supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.25V to 13V, set via two external resistors. It features a typical dropout voltage of 1.25V at full load and operates within a junction temperature range up to 150°C. The component is housed in a TO-220-3 package.

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

Verify the specific suffix GT3 confirms the TO-220-3 through-hole package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as datasheet metadata may indicate non-compliance depending on revision. Ensure the manufacturer source is explicitly onsemi or its acquired entities like Fairchild Semiconductor to guarantee part authenticity and traceability.

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

Select this component when a fixed 5A LDO is insufficient and adjustable voltage is required. The TO-220-3 package necessitates adequate thermal management due to power dissipation at high currents. Verify input-output differential voltage remains within specified limits to maintain regulation stability and prevent thermal overload during operation.

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

This device belongs to the CS5205 series of linear regulators, which are designed for high-current applications. The series includes variants with different packages and fixed voltage outputs. The CS5205A-1GT3 specifically denotes the adjustable version in the TO-220-3 housing, distinguishing it from surface-mount alternatives like the GDP3 package.

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

The CS5205-2GT3 is a related variant within the same family, offering fixed voltage options instead of adjustable output. Cross-reference pinouts and thermal resistance values between the TO-220-3 and alternative packages if considering physical substitution.
