Product details
Overview
CS52015-3GDPR3 from onsemi is a 1.5 A, 3.3 V fixed-output linear regulator in D2PAK-3 package, featuring ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, 1.05 V typical dropout at 1.5 A, and integrated current limit and thermal shutdown protection. It serves as a post-regulator or microprocessor supply where low-voltage operation and fast transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the CS52015-3GDPR3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include dropout voltage under full load, thermal regulation performance, ripple rejection at 120 Hz, quiescent current at full load, and compatibility with tantalum output capacitors for stability.
Technical Context
The CS52015-3GDPR3 employs a composite PNP-NPN output transistor architecture optimized for low-dropout operation and fast transient response. Its error amplifier drives the pass element with feedback from a precision bandgap reference, enabling tight line and load regulation (0.20% max line, 0.4% max load).
Thermal shutdown activates at 150–210°C with 25°C hysteresis, and current limiting engages at 1.6–3.1 A depending on input-output differential. The device requires a minimum 22 µF tantalum output capacitor for stability and exhibits 80 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz with 1.0 VPP input ripple.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.30 V ±1.5% - ensures stable 3.3 V rail for microprocessors and logic with guaranteed tolerance across −40°C to +70°C ambient. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads such as FPGA core supplies or SoC subsystems without derating at 25°C case temp. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.05 V typical @ 1.5 A - enables operation from 4.35 V input while maintaining regulation, critical for battery-backed or low-headroom systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 10 mA max @ full load - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems while preserving regulation integrity. |
| Ripple Rejection | 80 dB @ 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, protecting sensitive analog or clock circuitry. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation threshold - provides fail-safe protection during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking, with 25°C hysteresis to prevent cycling. |
| Line Regulation | 0.20% max - limits output variation to ±6.6 mV over 2.0–3.7 V input-output differential, ensuring consistent voltage under varying input conditions. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-3 package (Case 418AB), surface-mount, with exposed tab electrically connected to VOUT for thermal conduction and low-impedance output return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal bias and feedback network; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3 V output; tab is internally bonded to this pin, requiring thermal pad soldering to PCB copper for heat dissipation. |
| 3 | VIN | Unregulated input supply; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF tantalum capacitor close to pin to ensure stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast Transient Response | Sub-10 mV output deviation under 1.5 A load step - maintains microprocessor core voltage within spec during burst-mode execution. |
| Low Dropout Architecture | 1.05 V typical dropout @ 1.5 A - enables use with 5 V input rails while delivering full current, reducing power loss vs. legacy regulators. |
| Integrated Protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry in space-constrained embedded designs. |
| Stable with Tantalum Capacitors | Validated with 22 µF tantalum COUT - avoids ceramic capacitor instability issues, simplifying BOM and layout for industrial applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1086CT-3.3 | Higher 1.3 V typical dropout at 1.5 A; 10 mA quiescent current; same TO-220/D2PAK pinout but not identical thermal characteristics. | Designed for general-purpose lab power; less optimized for high-transient embedded loads. | Select LT1086CT-3.3 only if legacy design reuse or vendor consolidation outweighs 0.25 V dropout penalty. |
| TPS7A4701RGWR | Lower 0.3 V dropout at 1 A; 1 mA quiescent current; requires ceramic output capacitors; different SOT-223-5 pinout. | Targeted at ultra-low-noise audio and precision analog; lacks thermal hysteresis and current limit thresholds specified for CS52015-3GDPR3. | Choose TPS7A4701RGWR for noise-sensitive analog rails, not for high-current digital loads requiring robust thermal protection. |
Compared with LT1086CT-3.3 and TPS7A4701RGWR, the CS52015-3GDPR3 delivers superior thermal shutdown hysteresis (25°C) and proven stability with tantalum capacitors-critical for industrial control systems where capacitor aging and temperature drift affect long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the CS52015-3GDPR3?
The CS52015-3GDPR3 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VIN) of 7.0 V. Operation above this value risks permanent damage due to junction breakdown. For reliable 3.3 V output at 1.5 A, the recommended input range is 4.35 V to 7.0 V to maintain dropout margin and thermal safety.
Does the CS52015-3GDPR3 require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the CS52015-3GDPR3 requires an external output capacitor for loop stability. A 22 µF tantalum capacitor is the validated minimum; aluminum electrolytic types are acceptable but exhibit greater ESR variation at low temperatures. Ceramic capacitors are not recommended due to near-zero ESR, which can cause oscillation in the CS52015-3GDPR3 control loop.
Is the CS52015-3GDPR3 pin-compatible with other regulators in its family?
The CS52015-3GDPR3 is pin-compatible with the LT1086 family in D2PAK-3 and TO-220-3 packages, sharing identical 1-GND / 2-VOUT / 3-VIN pin assignments. However, differences in thermal resistance (RJA) and dropout behavior mean thermal design must be re-validated when substituting into existing LT1086 layouts.
What protection features are integrated into the CS52015-3GDPR3?
The CS52015-3GDPR3 integrates two primary protection features: current limiting (1.6–3.1 A trip range depending on VIN−VOUT) and thermal shutdown (150–210°C activation with 25°C hysteresis). Both are 100% functionally tested in production, eliminating need for external fault monitoring circuitry in most embedded applications.
Can the CS52015-3GDPR3 be used without a heatsink in a 1.5 A application?
No. At 1.5 A with a 4.35 V input (1.05 V dropout), power dissipation is ~1.6 W. With D2PAK-3 RJA ranging from 10–50°C/W depending on PCB copper area, junction temperature will exceed 150°C without a heatsink or substantial copper pour. Thermal compound and a heatsink are required for continuous 1.5 A operation per onsemi's thermal management guidelines.
