For engineers reviewing the TL750L05CKCS datasheet, TL750L05CKCS pinout, TL750L05CKCS application, or TL750L05CKCS equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The TL750L05CKCS implements a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout operation without external compensation. Its internal circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, 60-V load-dump tolerance, and thermal shutdown triggered at ~150°C junction temperature.
It operates across 6 V to 26 V input range with output voltage tightly regulated at 4.75 V to 5.25 V over 0°C–125°C junction temperature and 0–150 mA load. Quiescent current remains ≤2 mA under full load and full temperature range, supporting standby power integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5 V ±2.5% (4.75–5.25 V) over 0–125°C and 0–150 mA - ensures compatibility with 5-V logic and analog subsystems without external trimming. |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤0.6 V at 150 mA - enables regulation from 5.6-V input, critical for single-cell LiFePO₄ or degraded lead-acid battery operation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 26 V continuous - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial 24-V rail conditioning. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤2 mA at 150 mA load and 0–125°C - minimizes standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Reverse Transient Protection | Withstands –50 V for ≤100 ms - protects against battery reversal during service or jump-start events. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses alternator ripple in automotive applications without additional filtering. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | ~150°C virtual junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
TL750L05CKCS uses the TO-220 (KCS) package: 3-pin, through-hole, thermally enhanced with isolated tab (electrically connected to COMMON pin). Mounting requires mechanical fastening and thermal interface to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (COMMON) | Ground reference and thermal path | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be connected to system ground plane and heatsink for thermal performance and stability. |
| Pin 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 5-V output | Delivers up to 150 mA; requires ≥10-μF output capacitor (ESR <0.4 Ω) for loop stability across temperature and load. |
| Pin 3 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 6–26 V; requires ≥0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise and transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low dropout voltage | ≤0.6 V at 150 mA enables operation from marginal input sources like partially discharged batteries or post-dropper rails. |
| Reverse transient protection | Rated to –50 V for 100 ms eliminates need for external series diode in battery-reversal-prone environments. |
| 60-V load-dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients without latch-up or degradation - certified for automotive under-hood use. |
| Internal thermal overload protection | Auto-recovers after cooldown - avoids system-level fault propagation during temporary overloads or inadequate heatsinking. |
| Low quiescent current | ≤2 mA across full operating range preserves battery life in always-on remote sensors and telematics modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL750L05CKC | Same electrical specs and TO-220 package, but KCS variant has isolated tab; KC has electrically connected tab (COMMON = tab). | KC requires insulating hardware when mounting to grounded heatsink; KCS allows direct mounting without isolation. | Select TL750L05CKCS when mechanical mounting simplicity and thermal coupling to grounded chassis are required. |
| LM2931AZ-5.0/NOPB | 5-V LDO with 100 mA output, 0.6-V dropout, but lacks 60-V load-dump rating and reverse-transient protection. | Not qualified for automotive transient immunity; requires external protection for ISO 7637-2 compliance. | Choose LM2931AZ-5.0/NOPB only for cost-sensitive industrial applications where transients are externally clamped. |
Compared with TL750L05CKCS, TL750L05CKC demands insulation between tab and heatsink, while LM2931AZ-5.0/NOPB shifts transient protection burden to external components - making TL750L05CKCS the only option delivering integrated 60-V load-dump and –50-V reverse transient hardening in TO-220 form factor.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage rating for TL750L05CKCS?
The TL750L05CKCS supports a continuous input voltage of up to 26 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SLVS017U datasheet. This rating applies across the full operating junction temperature range (0°C to 125°C) and ensures safe operation in 24-V industrial and automotive systems with nominal supply tolerances.
Does TL750L05CKCS include an enable pin?
No, TL750L05CKCS does not have an enable pin. It belongs to the TL750L series, which is always-on. The TL751L series (e.g., TL751L05CKCS) adds an ENABLE input; TL750L05CKCS lacks this feature and powers up immediately when input voltage exceeds minimum start-up threshold (~6 V).
What output capacitor is required for stable operation of TL750L05CKCS?
TI specifies a minimum 10-μF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor with ESR < 0.4 Ω on the output of TL750L05CKCS. Ceramic capacitors may be used only if combined with a series resistor to emulate required ESR, as low-ESR ceramics can cause instability per Figure 1 in SLVS017U.
Is TL750L05CKCS RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, TL750L05CKCS is RoHS compliant and features a matte tin (Sn) lead finish, as confirmed in the Package Option Addendum. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and is rated for peak reflow at 260°C, though MSL is marked N/A for TO-220 packages due to their through-hole construction.
How does the thermal performance of TL750L05CKCS compare to SOIC-packaged variants?
TL750L05CKCS in TO-220 (KCS) offers θJA = 19°C/W (high-K board), significantly better than SOIC-8 (D) variants (θJA = 97°C/W). This allows TL750L05CKCS to dissipate ~5× more power at the same ambient temperature - enabling 150 mA output at higher input-output differentials without active cooling.
