DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 5230 series voltage regulators are available in +2.5V, +3.3V, +5.0V, and +12.0V output configura-
tions. All boast ultra low dropout specifications due to the utilization of a super PNP output pass transistor with
monolithic technology. Dropout voltages of 350mV at 3 amps are typical in this configuration, which drives effi-
ciency up and power dissipation down. Accuracy is guaranteed with a 1% maximum output voltage tolerance. The
MSK 5230 series is packaged in a space efficient 3 pin power surface mount ceramic package.
