Product details
Overview
CS5253-1GDPR5 from onsemi is a 3.0 A adjustable low-dropout linear regulator in D2PAK-5 package, featuring dual-supply architecture (VPOWER and VCONTROL), remote voltage sensing via dedicated VSENSE pin, and 1.25 V to 5.0 V output range. It delivers precise regulation for graphics controller power supplies on VGA cards with <1.0 mV load regulation at 2.5 V/3.0 A.
For engineers reviewing the CS5253-1GDPR5 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include VPOWER dropout <0.40 V @ 3.0 A, VCONTROL dropout <1.05 V @ 3.0 A, 1.0% trimmed reference, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and remote-sense capability for load-point regulation.
Technical Context
The CS5253-1GDPR5 uses a PNP–NPN pass transistor pair with physically separated VPOWER (collector) and VCONTROL (base drive) inputs to minimize dropout and power dissipation. Its error amplifier compares a 1.250 V internal bandgap reference against the VSENSE–Adjust differential to regulate output.
Remote sensing is implemented via dedicated Kelvin-connected VSENSE pin tied directly to the load, decoupling regulation accuracy from PCB trace resistance. Transient response is enhanced by an external capacitor on the Adjust pin, and protection includes current limiting (3.1–4.0 A), short-circuit foldback (~3.5 A), and thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.0 A continuous; supports high-current graphics controllers without derating at TJ ≤ 150°C. |
| VPOWER Dropout | <0.40 V @ 3.0 A; minimizes power loss when VPOWER supplies the pass transistor collector. |
| VCONTROL Dropout | <1.05 V @ 3.0 A; defines minimum control supply headroom needed for stable regulation. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.250 V ±1.0%; trimmed bandgap enables accurate adjustable output from 1.25 V to 5.0 V. |
| Load Regulation | <0.3% @ 10 mA–3.0 A with remote sense; ensures stable voltage at load despite current transients. |
| Ripple Rejection | 80 dB @ 120 Hz; suppresses input ripple without requiring ultra-low-ESR capacitors. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature with 25°C hysteresis; enables automatic recovery after fault clearance. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-5 package (Case 936AC) with exposed tab electrically connected to VOUT; designed for high-power thermal dissipation using heatsink mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VSENSE | Kelvin sense input | Connects directly to load to enable remote-sense regulation; eliminates PCB trace IR drop errors. |
| 2 - Adjust | Reference bias node | Carries ~50 µA bias current; sets output voltage with R1/R2 divider and enables transient response tuning via bypass cap. |
| 3 - VOUT | Regulated output / tab connection | Supplies up to 3.0 A; tab must be thermally coupled to heatsink and electrically isolated if required. |
| 4 - VCONTROL | Control circuit supply | Provides bias for error amplifier and driver stage; requires ≥1.05 V above VOUT for full-load operation. |
| 5 - VPOWER | Power transistor collector | Delivers load current with minimal dropout; must be ≥0.40 V above VOUT at 3.0 A to maintain regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote voltage sensing | Enables sub-millivolt load regulation accuracy by measuring voltage directly at the load point. |
| Separate VPOWER/VCONTROL supplies | Reduces total power dissipation by isolating high-current path (VPOWER) from low-current control logic (VCONTROL). |
| Fast transient response | Tuned via Adjust pin capacitor; maintains tight output regulation during rapid load steps common in GPU power rails. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at ~150°C and re-enables only after cooling by ~25°C, preventing thermal cycling in overload conditions. |
| Backward compatibility | Supports 3-pin regulator footprints when VCONTROL and VPOWER are tied together, easing legacy design upgrades. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1528CP#PBF | Higher dropout (0.7 V @ 3 A), no remote sense, 3-pin package; requires external compensation. | Lacks Kelvin sensing and separate VPOWER/VCONTROL; unsuitable for load-point regulation. | Select only if board space prohibits D2PAK-5 and remote sense is unnecessary. |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | Lower IOUT (2 A), integrated PMOS pass device, 1.1 V dropout @ 2 A; no VPOWER/VCONTROL separation. | Cannot match 3.0 A output or dual-supply efficiency; optimized for low-IQ portable systems. | Prefer for battery-powered designs where quiescent current matters more than peak current. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VPOWER and VOUT for the CS5253-1GDPR5?
The absolute maximum rating for VPOWER − VOUT is 6.0 V. Exceeding this risks immediate pass transistor failure during short-circuit events before protection circuits activate. The CS5253-1GDPR5 must be used within this limit-even when VCONTROL and VPOWER are tied-to ensure safe operation and avoid destructive overvoltage stress on the internal PNP–NPN pair.
Can the CS5253-1GDPR5 operate with only VCONTROL connected and VPOWER unconnected?
Yes-the CS5253-1GDPR5 can supply up to 50 mA when only VCONTROL is powered and VPOWER is left open. This mode is useful for low-current biasing or diagnostics but cannot deliver its rated 3.0 A output. Full 3.0 A operation requires both VCONTROL ≥ (VOUT + 1.05 V) and VPOWER ≥ (VOUT + 0.40 V) simultaneously.
How does the remote sensing feature of the CS5253-1GDPR5 improve regulation accuracy?
The CS5253-1GDPR5 uses the dedicated VSENSE pin to close the feedback loop directly at the load, bypassing PCB trace resistance. This reduces load-regulation error to <1.0 mV at 2.5 V/3.0 A-versus typical 50–100 mV errors in non-sensing LDOs-ensuring the voltage delivered to the IC load matches the setpoint regardless of board layout or current magnitude.
What is the purpose of the Adjust pin capacitor in the CS5253-1GDPR5 circuit?
A small capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF tantalum) from Adjust to ground improves transient response and ripple rejection by stabilizing the reference bias node and damping high-frequency error amplifier oscillations. It does not affect DC output voltage setting but significantly reduces output voltage deviation during rapid load steps-critical for GPU and FPGA power integrity.
Does the CS5253-1GDPR5 require an external diode for reverse-current protection?
No external diode is required under normal operation because the CS5253-1GDPR5's internal discharge path handles typical output capacitor discharge. However, if VCONTROL is instantaneously shorted while large output capacitance (>1000 µF) and high VOUT (>3.3 V) are present, calculated discharge current may exceed the 3.5 A short-circuit rating-making a series diode on VOUT advisable per Figure 21 in the datasheet.
