• Manufacturer Part Number: cs5203a-1
• Description: 3.0 A Adjustable, And Fixed 1.5 V, 3.3 V And 5.0 V Linear Regulators
• Manufacturer: ON Semiconductor

The ESR of the output capacitor causes an immediate drop
in output voltage given by:
output capacitor network consisting of several tantalum and
ceramic capacitors in parallel. This reduces the overall ESR
and reduces the instantaneous output voltage drop under
load transient conditions. The output capacitor network
should be as close as possible to the load for the best results.

regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes.
If the input voltage of the regulator gets shorted, the output
capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The
discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the
output voltage and the rate at which V
CS5203A−X family of linear regulators, the discharge path
is through a large junction and protection diodes are not
usually needed. If the regulator is used with large values of
output capacitance and the input voltage is instantaneously
shorted to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode
connected as shown in Figures 11 and 12 is recommended.

regulation is limited by the resistance of the conductors
connecting the regulator to the load. For best results the
fixed regulators should be connected as shown in Figure 13.
