DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 5820RH is a rad hard fixed linear regulator capable of delivering 5.0 amps of output current. Typical
dropout is only 0.30 volts with a 3 amp load. An external shutdown function is ideal for power supply sequencing.
This device also has internal latching overload protection. The MSK 5820RH is radiation hard and specifically de-
signed 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
V
IN
-
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.
V
OUT
-
This is the output pin for the device.
OVERCURRENT LATCH
Overcurrent protection is provided by the MSK 5820RH
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 V
IN
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 5820RH current limit function is directly af-
fected by the input and output voltages. Figure 1 illus-
trates the relationship between V
IN
and I
CL
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 sup-
ply transients it is recommended that a 100µF tantalum
capacitor is connected between V
IN
and ground. A 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor should also be used for high frequency
bypassing.
REPLACING THE OMR9601/IRUH33P253AIM
When the MSK 5820-2.5RH is used as a replacement
for the IR OMR9601 or IRUH33P253B, the user should
recognize that the MSK 5820-2.5RH does not contain in-
ternal tantalum capacitors on the input and output. MSK
does not typically use tantalum capacitors in space level
standard products of this nature.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output capacitors are required to maintain regulation
and stability. A 220µF surface mount tantalum capacitor
from the output to ground should suffice under most con-
ditions. Ceramic output capacitors (0.1µF typical) should
be placed directly across the load power connections as
close to the load as possible. If the user finds that tighter
voltage regulation is needed during output transients, more
capacitance may be added. If more capacitance is added
to the output, the bandwidth may suffer.

THERMAL LIMITING
The MSK 5820RH 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 5820RH. Toggle the shutdown pin high
them 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 5820RH, the follow-
ing formula for convective heat flow may be used.

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
).

PERFORMANCE
Radiation performance curves for TID testing have been
generated for all radiation testing performed by MS
Kennedy. These curves show performance trends
throughout the TID test process and can be located in
the MSK 5810RH radiation test report. The complete
radiation test report is available in the RAD HARD PROD-
UCTS section on the MSK website.

of no more than 37.5°C/W must be used to maintain a
junction temperature of no more than 125°C.
