Protection Diodes
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
CS5201−1 linear regulator, 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 Figure 13 is recommended.

regulation is limited by the resistance of the conductors
connecting the regulator to the load.
occurs when R1 is connected directly to the output pin of the
regulator as shown in Figure 14. If R1 is connected to the
load, RC is multiplied by the divider ratio and the effective
resistance between the regulator and the load becomes.

Calculating Power Dissipation and Heatsink
Requirements

High power regulators such as these usually operate at high
junction temperatures so it is important to calculate the
power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to
ensure that an adequate Heatsink is used.

Thermal compound should always be used with high current
regulators such as these.
