DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 5920RH 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 5920RH 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
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.

FIGURE 1
Overcurrent protection is provided by the MSK 5920RH
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.
OVERCURRENT LATCH
To maximize transient response and minimize power sup-
ply transients it is recommended that a 100μF tantalum
capacitor is connected between VIN and ground. A 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor should also be used for high frequency
bypassing.
CURRENT LIMIT AND SOA
The MSK 5920RH 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.
REPLACING THE OMR9601/IRUH33P253AIM
When the MSK 5920-2.5RH is used as a replacement
for the IR OMR9601 or IRUH33P253B, the user should
recognize that the MSK 5920-2.5RH does not contain in-
ternal tantalum capacitors on the input and output.
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 fi-
nal design is recommended to ensure stability require-
ments are met.
The MSK 5920RH 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.

To select a heat sink for the MSK 5920RH, the follow-
ing formula for convective heat flow may be used.
Governing Equation:
TJ = PD X (RθJC + RθCS + RθSA) + TA
Where
TJ= Junction Temperature
PD= Total Power Dissipation
RθJC = Junction to Case Thermal Resistance
RθCS = Case to Heat Sink Thermal Resistance
RθSA = Heat Sink to Ambient Thermal Resistance
TA= Ambient Temperature
Power Dissipation=(VIN-VOUT) x IOUT
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 (RθSA).
Example:
An MSK 5920-2.5RH is connected for VIN=+3.3V and
VOUT=+2.5V. IOUT is a continuous 3A DC level. The am-
bient temperature is +25°C. The maximum desired junc-
tion temperature is +125°C.
RθJC=4.0°C/W and RθCS=0.15°C/W for most thermal
greases
Power Dissipation=(3.3V-2.5V) x (3A)
=2.4 Watts
Solve for RθSA:
125°C - 25°C
2.4W
= 36.5°C/W
In this example, a heat sink with a thermal resistance
of no more than 36.5°C/W must be used to maintain a
junction temperature of no more than 125°C.
The MSK 5920RH 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 5920RH. 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 PERFORMANCE CURVES
GAIN AND PHASE RESPONSE
The gain and phase response curves are for the MSK typical application circuit and are representative of typical device
performance, but are for reference only. The performance should be analyzed for each application to insure individual
program requirements are met. External factors such as temperature, input and output voltages, capacitors, etc. all
can be major contributors. Please consult factory for additional details.
