The MSK 5041 series are high efficiency, 8 amp, surface mount switching regulators. The output voltage is
configured for 1.9V, 2.5V, 3.3V or 5.0V internally with a tolerance of 1% at 3 amps. The operating frequency of the
MSK 5041 is 300KHz and is internally set. An external "soft start" capacitor allows the user to control how quickly
the output comes up to regulation voltage after the application of an input. An extremely low quiescent current of
typically less than 2.5mA and nearly 95% operating efficiency keep the total internal power dissipation of the MSK
5041 down to an absolute minimum.

APPLICATION NOTES
CURRENT LIMITING:
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION:
The MSK 5041 has an internal high frequency ceramic ca-
pacitor (0.1uF) between V
IN
and GND. Connect a low-ESR
bulk capacitor directly to the input pin of the MSK 5041. Se-
lect the bulk input filter capacitor according to input ripple-
current requirements and voltage rating, rather than capacitor
value. Electrolytic capacitors that have low enough ESR to
meet the ripple-current requirement invariably have more than
