output current. The typical dropout is only 0.22 volts with a 2.5A load. An external shutdown function is ideal for
power supply sequencing. This device also has latching overload protection that requires no external current sense
resistor. The MSK 5821RH is radiation hardened and specifically designed for space/satellite applications. The device
is packaged in a hermetically sealed space efficient 5 pin SIP that is electrically isolated from the internal circuitry
allowing for direct heat sinking.

APPLICATION NOTES
PIN FUNCTIONS
VIN -
This pin provides power to all internal circuitry in-
cluding bias, start-up, thermal limit and overcurrent latch.
Input voltage range is 2.9V to 6.5V.
GND -
Internally connected to ground, this pin should be
connected externally by the user to the circuit ground.
SHUTDOWN -
There are two functions to the SHUTDOWN
pin. It may be used to disable the output voltage or to
reset a current latch condition. To activate the shutdown/
reset functions the user must apply a voltage greater than
1.6V to the SHUTDOWN pin. The output voltage will turn
on when the SHUTDOWN pin is pulled below the thresh-
old voltage. If the SHUTDOWN pin is not used, it should
be connected to ground. It should be noted that with the
shutdown pin tied to ground, a current latch condition
can only be reset by cycling power off, then on.
VOUT -
This is the output pin for the device.
ADJUST -
The ADJUST pin is the inverting input of the
internal error amplifier. The non-inverting input is con-
nected to an internal 1.265V reference. This error ampli-
fier controls the drive to the output transistor to force the
ADJUST pin to 1.265V. An external resistor divider is
connected to the output, ADJUST pin and ground to set
the output voltage.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Low ESR output capacitors are required to maintain regu-
lation and stability. Four CWR29FB227 (AVX PN
TAZH227K010L) tantalum capacitors in parallel with ce-
ramic decoupling capacitors (0.1μF typical) provides suf-
ficient gain and phase margin for most applications. The
maximum ESR specification for the CWR29FB227 capaci-
tor is 180mΩ at 100kHz and is sufficient for many appli-
cations. MSK has found through full WCCA that screen-
ing for a maximum ESR of 57mΩ ensures EOL stability
criteria to be met for many applications with the most
stringent requirements. The typical ESR of the
TAZH227K010L from AVX is 49mΩ . Analysis of the final
design is recommended to ensure stability requirements
are met.
OVERCURRENT LATCH
Overcurrent protection is provided by the MSK5821RH
series through the use of a timed latch off circuit. The
internal latch timeout is triggered by an overcurrent con-
dition. To allow for start up surge currents, the timeout is
approximately 5.5mS at 25°C. If the overcurrent condi-
tion remains at the end of the timeout cycle, the regulator
will latch off until the latch is reset. Reset the latch by
pulling the shutdown pin high or cycling VIN off then back
on. A thermal limit condition will trigger the latch with no
time out delay.
FIGURE 1
CURRENT LIMIT AND SOA
The MSK 5821RH current limit function is directly af-
fected by the input and output voltages. Figure 1 illus-
trates the relationship between VIN and ICL for various
output voltages. It is very important for the user to con-
sult the SOA curve when using input voltages which re-
sult in current limit conditions beyond 4.5 Amps. When
using input voltages which result in current limit above
4.5 Amps, the user must maintain output current within
the SOA curve to avoid damage to the device. Note that 5
Amp maximum is due to current carrying capability of the
internal wirebonds.
INPUT POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
To maximize transient response and minimize power
supply transients it is recommended that two 47μF tanta-
lum capacitors are connected between VIN and ground.
A 0.1μF ceramic capacitor should also be used for high
frequency bypassing. See typical application circuit.

THERMAL LIMITING
The MSK 5821RH control circuitry has a thermal shut-
down temperature of approximately 150°C. This ther-
mal shutdown can be used as a protection feature, but
for continuous operation, the junction temperature of the
pass transistor must be maintained below 150°C. Proper
heat sink selection is essential to maintain these condi-
tions. Exceeding the thermal limit activates the latch fea-
ture of the MSK 5821RH. Toggle the shutdown pin high
then low or cycle power to reset the latch. See SHUT-
DOWN pin description and overcurrent latch description
for more information.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CIRCUIT
HEAT SINK SELECTION
To select a heat sink for the MSK 5821RH, the follow-
ing formula for convective heat flow may be used.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
As noted in the above typical applications circuit, the
formula for output voltage selection is
VOUT=1.265 1+ R1
R2
A good starting point for this output voltage selection is
to set R2=1K. By rearranging the formula it is simple to
calculate the final R1 value.
R1=R2 VOUT -1

Table 1 below lists some of the most probable resistor
combinations based on industry standard usage.
Power Dissipation=(VIN-VOUT) x I
OUT
Next, the user must select a maximum junction tem-
perature. The absolute maximum allowable junction tem-
perature is 150°C. The equation may now be rearranged
to solve for the required heat sink to ambient thermal
resistance (R
θSA
).
START UP CURRENT
The MSK 5821RH sinks increased current during startup
to bring up the output voltage. Reference the "Saturated
Drive Current vs. Input Voltage" graph in the typical per-
formance curves of this data sheet and the "Understand-
ing Startup Surge Current With MS Kennedy's RH1573
Based Rad Hard LDO Regulators" application note in the
application notes section of the MS Kennedy Web site
for more information.
