CS5206-5GT3

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

The onsemi CS5206-5GT3 is a fixed positive linear voltage regulator delivering a stable 5.0 V output at a maximum current of 6.0 A. It features an accuracy of ±2% and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device utilizes a TO-220-3 (PSFM3) package, providing robust thermal performance for high-current applications.

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

• Provides a fixed 5.0 V output with high current capability up to 6.0 A
• Ensures precise regulation with ±2% output voltage accuracy
• Designed for reliable operation in standard ambient temperature environments

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

• General-purpose power supply circuits requiring stable 5V rails
• Industrial control systems needing high-current regulation
• Embedded systems powering microcontrollers and logic components

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

Verify the exact suffix GT3 corresponds to the TO-220-3 straight lead package configuration. Confirm that the fixed 5.0 V variant meets your specific voltage tolerance requirements of ±2%. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for 6.0 A loads to maintain operation within the specified 0°C to 70°C range.

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

Select this component when a fixed 5V output is required rather than adjustable variants like the CS5206-X series. Consider the TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting and superior heat dissipation compared to smaller surface-mount options. Verify input voltage headroom to ensure proper linear regulation without excessive power dissipation.

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

This part belongs to the CS5206-X series of linear regulators from onsemi. The series offers both adjustable and fixed voltage options, including 3.3 V and 5.0 V outputs. The CS5206-5GT3 specifically denotes the fixed 5.0 V version with high current capacity, distinct from lower current or adjustable counterparts in the same family.

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

Direct substitutes include other 6A 5V LDOs in TO-220 packages. Check pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Verify that alternative parts meet the same ±2% accuracy and operating temperature specifications.
