CS8121
Description
The CS8121 is a 5V, 1A precision linear
regulator with two microprocessor
compatible control functions and pro-
tection circuitry included on chip. The
composite NPN-PNP output pass tran-
sistor assures a lower dropout voltage
(1.2V @ 1A) without requiring exces-
sive supply current (4mA).

The CS8121’s two logic control func-
tions make this regulator well suited to
applications requiring microprocessor-
based control at the board or module
level.
ENABLE
controls the output
stage. A high voltage (>2.9V) on
the
ENABLE
lead turns off the regula-
tor’s pass transistor and sends the IC
into Sleep mode where it draws only
The CS8121 design optimizes supply
rejection by switching the internal
bandgap reference from the supply
input to the regulator output as soon as
the nominal output voltage is achieved.
Additional on chip filtering enhances
rejection of high frequency transients
on all external leads.

Circuit Description
Voltage Reference and Output Circuitry
Precision Voltage Reference
The regulated output voltage depends on the precision
band gap voltage reference in the IC. By adding an error
amplifier into the feedback loop, the output voltage is
maintained within ±4% over temperature and supply vari-
ation.
Output Stage
The composite PNP-
NPN output structure
(Figure 1) provides 1A
(typ) of output current
while maintaining a
low drop out voltage
(1.2V) and drawing lit-
tle quiescent current
(4mA).
V
OUT
The NPN pass device prevents deep saturation of the output
stage which in turn improves the IC’s efficiency by prevent-
ing excess current from being used and dissipated by the IC.
Output Stage Protection
The output stage is protected against overvoltage, short
circuit and thermal runaway conditions (Figure 2).
