The MSK 5822RH is a rad hard fixed linear regulator capable of delivering 5.0 amps of output current. Typical dropout
is only 0.35 volts with a 2.5 amp load. Separated power and bias simplifies supply tracking. This device also has latching
overload protection. The MSK 5822RH 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 the input power connection to the
MSK 5822RH. This is the supply that will be regulated to the
output. Input voltage range is VOUT + V
DROPOUT
to 6.5V.
VBIAS -
This pin provides power to all internal circuitry
including bias, start-up, thermal limit and overcurrent latch.
VBIAS voltage range is 2.9V to 6.5V. VBIAS should be
kept greater than or equal to VIN.
LATCH -
The MSK 5822RH LATCH pin is used for both cur-
rent limit and thermal limit. A capacitor between the LATCH
pin and ground sets a time out delay in the event of an over
current or short circuit condition. The capacitor is charged
to approximately 1.6V from a 7.2 A (nominal) current source.
Exceeding the thermal limit charges the latch capacitor from
a larger current source for a near instant shutdown. Once
the latch capacitor is charged the device latches off until the
latch is reset. Momentarily pull the LATCH pin low, or cycle
the power to reset the latch. Cycling the bias power dis-
ables the device during the reset operation. Pulling the LATCH
pin low immediately enables the device for as long as the
LATCH pin is held low plus the time delay to re-charge the
latch capacitor whether or not the fault has been corrected.
Disable the latch feature by tying the LATCH pin low. With
the LATCH pin held low the thermal limit feature is disabled
and the current limit feature will force the output voltage to
droop but remain active if excessive current is drawn.
GND -
Internally connected to ground, this pin should be
connected externally by the user to the circuit ground.
VOUT -
This is the output pin for the device.
START UP OPTIONS
The MSK 5822RH starts up and begins regulating immedi-
ately when VBIAS and VIN are applied simultaneously. Ap-
plying VBIAS before VIN starts the MSK 5822RH up in a
disabled or latched state. When starting in a latched state
the device output can be enabled by pulling the latch pin low
to drain the latch capacitor. Hold the latch pin low and re-
lease after VIN comes up to ensure automatic startup when
applying VBIAS before VIN. The basic circuit below can be
adapted to a variety of applications for automatic start up
when VBIAS rises before VIN.
START UP CURRENT
The MSK 5822RH sinks increased current during startup
to bring up the output voltage. Reference the "Saturated Drive
Current vs. Input Voltage" graph in the typical performance
curves of this data sheet and the "Understanding 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.

INPUT POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
To maximize transient response and minimize power sup-
ply transients it is recommended that two 47 F tantalum
capacitors are connected between VIN and ground. A 0.1 F
ceramic capacitor should also be used for high frequency
bypassing. See typical application circuit.
OVERCURRENT LATCH-OFF/LATCH PIN CAPACITOR
SELECTION
As previously mentioned, the LATCH pin provides over
current/output short circuit protection with a timed latch-
off circuit. Reference the LATCH pin description note. The
latch off time out is determined with an external capacitor
connected from the LATCH pin to ground. The time-out
period is equal to the time it takes to charge this external
capacitor from 0V to 1.6V. The latch charging current is
provided by an internal current source. This current is a
function of bias voltage and temperature (see latch charg-
ing current curve). For instance, at 25°C, the latch charg-
ing current is 7.2 A at VBIAS=3V and 8 A at
VBIAS=6.5V.
In the latch-off mode, some additional current will be
drawn from the bias supply. This additional latching cur-
rent is also a function of bias voltage and temperature
(see typical performance curves).
The MSK 5822RH current limit function is directly affected
by the input and output voltages. Custom current limit is
available; contact the factory for more information.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output capacitors are required to maintain regulation and
stability. Between 440 and 100 F surface mount, low ESR,
tantalum capacitor from the output to ground should suffice
under most conditions. See typical application circuit for rec-
ommended capacitance. Ceramic output capacitors (0.1 F
typical) should be placed directly across the load power con-
nections as close to the load as possible. If the user finds
that tighter voltage regulation is needed during output tran-
sients, more capacitance may be added. If more capacitance
is added to the output, the bandwidth may suffer.
APPLICATION NOTES CONT.
THERMAL LIMITING
The MSK 5822RH 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 5822RH. Momentarily pull the latch pin
low or cycle the power to reset the latch.

Next, the user must select a maximum junction tem-
perature. The absolute maximum allowable junction tem-

to solve for the required heat sink to ambient thermal

able in the RAD HARD PRODUCTS section on the MSK
