DESCRIPTION:

The MSK 5012 voltage regulator output is fully programmable through the use of two external resistors.  Ultra low dropout voltage specifications are realized due to the unique output configuration which uses an extremely low Rds(on) MOSFET as a pass element.  Dropout voltages of 0.45V at ten amps are typical in this configuration which drives efficiency up and power dissipation down.  Accuracy is guaranteed with a ±1% initial output voltage tolerance that only varies ±2% with temperature.  The MSK 5012 is packaged in a space efficient 5 pin SIP package that is electrically isolated from the internal circuitry allowing direct heat sinking for efficient thermal dissipation.
