Functional Description
The TLE4250-2 is a monolithic integrated low dropout voltage tracker in a tiny SMD package PG-SCT595-5 with
excellent thermal resistance. It is designed to supply off-board loads (e.g. sensors) in automotive environment.
The IC protects itself in case of overload, overtemperature, reverse polarity as well as output short circuit to battery
and ground.
Supply voltages up to VI = 45 V are regulated to a reference voltage applied at the adjust input “ADJ” with high
accuracy. The output “Q” is able to drive loads up to 50 mA.
In order to reduce the quiescent current to a minimum, the TLE4250-2 can be switched to stand-by mode by
setting the adjust/enable input “ADJ/EN” to “low”.

5 Electrical Characteristics
5.1 Tracking Regulator
The output voltage VQ is controlled by comparing it to the voltage applied at pin ADJ/EN and driving a PNP pass
transistor accordingly. The control loop stability depends on the output capacitor CQ, the load current, the chip
temperature and the poles/zeros introduced by the integrated circuit. To ensure stable operation, the output
capacitor’s capacitance and its equivalent series resistor ESR requirements given in the table “Functional Range”
have to be maintained. For details see also the typical performance graph “Output Capacitor Series Resistor
ESRCQ vs. Output Current IQ”. Also, the output capacitor shall be sized to buffer load transients.
An input capacitor CI is recommended to buffer line influences. Connect the capacitors close to the IC terminals.
Protection circuitry prevent the IC as well as the application from destruction in case of catastrophic events. These
safeguards contain output current limitation, reverse polarity protection as well as thermal shutdown in case of
overtemperature.
In order to avoid excessive power dissipation that could never be handled by the pass element and the package,
the maximum output current is decreased at high input voltages.
The overtemperature protection circuit prevents the IC from immediate destruction under fault conditions (e. g.
output continuously short-circuited) by reducing the output current. A thermal balance below 200 °C junction
temperature is established. Please note that a junction temperature above 150 °C is outside the maximum ratings
and reduces the IC lifetime.
The TLE4250-2 allows a negative supply voltage. However, several small currents are flowing into the IC. For
details see electrical characteristics table and typical performance graphs. The thermal protection circuit is not
operating during reverse polarity condition.
