CS8361YDPS7

The CS8361YDPS7 is a three-terminal, monolithic, positive voltage regulator, providing up to 20A of regulated current. It is designed to provide an extremely low noise, wide bandwidth regulator for applications such as video, optics, and audio. The active high output voltage of the CS8361YDPS7 is adjustable from 1.25V to 9.75V, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high load current. The device also features an adjustable soft-start capability, allowing for controlled in-rush current ramp up.The primary application field for the CS8361YDPS7 is in large scale power systems, such as those found in video and audio equipment, mobile and stationary phone systems, military electronics, and industrial equipment. The linear regulator provides reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions and can handle large, wide swings in input voltage. The wide range of output voltages makes the CS8361YDPS7 a great choice for applications that require a tightly regulated output voltage in the face of extreme environmental fluctuations. The working principle of the CS8361YDPS7 is fairly straightforward. The regulator consists of three main components; the PNP pass transistor, the feedback voltage divider, and the error amplifier. When the regulator is in operation, the PNP pass transistor receives a signal from the feedback voltage divider, which is used to determine the output voltage. The signal is compared to a reference voltage from the error amplifier, and the difference between the two signals is used to control the current through the pass transistor, thereby controlling the output voltage.The CS8361YDPS7 is designed to provide a high-precision voltage regulator, capable of controlling a wide range of input and output voltages. In addition to the active high output voltage feature, the linear regulator also offers a standard power down mode, and external bias inputs for improved ripple rejection. Additionally, the device is overcurrent protected, and employs a balanced output to minimize noise and temperature changes.The CS8361YDPS7 is an ideal voltage regulator for applications that require an extremely low noise, wide bandwidth regulator. The adjustable voltage range and overcurrent protection make it a great choice for precision regulated systems in harsh environmental conditions.
