Product details
Overview
TLE4252DATMA1 from Infineon is a monolithic low-dropout voltage tracking regulator in PG-TO252-5 package, designed for automotive sensor supply and off-board load switching. It delivers up to 250 mA output current with ≤±10 mV tracking error versus reference voltage, operates from 3.5 V to 40 V input, and supports 1.5 V–40 V adjust input range across –40°C to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4252DATMA1 datasheet, TLE4252DATMA1 pinout, TLE4252DATMA1 application, or TLE4252DATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include output tracking accuracy (±10 mV), reverse polarity protection, enable-controlled standby mode (2 µA quiescent current), short-circuit protection to GND/battery, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The TLE4252DATMA1 implements a precision error amplifier-based tracking architecture where the output Q replicates the voltage applied at ADJ with high fidelity, independent of input VI as long as VI exceeds VADJ + Vdr (max 600 mV). Its internal protection logic monitors overtemperature, short circuit, and reverse polarity conditions without external components.
It features dual-mode operation: active regulation with 10–25 mA quiescent current (depending on load), and ultra-low-power standby (≤2 µA) when EN is pulled low. The ADJ input accepts either direct reference voltage or resistor-divided feedback, enabling flexible replication of 5 V, 3.3 V, or custom rail voltages in multi-rail ECU subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output tracking accuracy | ±10 mV (typ.) - ensures output matches ADJ reference within 0.2% for 4.5–26 V input, critical for sensor biasing stability |
| Max output current | 250 mA (min.) - sufficient to drive multiple off-board sensors or small solenoids without external boost |
| Drop voltage | 280–600 mV @ 200 mA - enables regulation even with low headroom, e.g., 5.5 V input → 5 V output |
| Quiescent current (standby) | ≤2 µA - preserves battery life during vehicle sleep modes |
| Operating input range | 3.5–40 V - accommodates cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump (40 V) transients per ISO 7637-2 |
| Junction temperature range | –40°C to 150°C - qualified for engine compartment placement per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
| Enable threshold | VEN,on ≥ 2 V, VEN,off ≤ 0.8 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V/5 V logic without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO252-5 (TO-252-5), thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed drain pad connected to Pin 3 (GND) for heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Supply voltage input | Battery or pre-regulated DC input; withstands –42 V to +45 V transient; internally current-limited |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls down to 0 V disables regulator and reduces IQ to ≤2 µA |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground / thermal pad | Primary return path and thermal interface; must be soldered to large copper area for RthJA ≤ 55 K/W |
| 4 (ADJ) | Reference voltage input | Accepts 1.5–40 V reference directly or via resistor divider; bias current ≤0.5 µA minimizes divider error |
| 5 (Q) | Tracking output | Regulated output sourcing up to 250 mA; requires ≥10 µF/≤5 Ω ESR capacitor to GND for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-accuracy voltage tracking | ±10 mV error over full temp/load range ensures sensor excitation or ADC reference rails remain stable |
| Integrated fault protection | Short-circuit to GND/battery, overtemperature, and reverse polarity protection eliminate need for external diodes/fuses |
| Ultra-low standby current | ≤2 µA shutdown current enables compliance with automotive ISO 16750-2 sleep-mode leakage limits |
| Wide input voltage capability | 3.5–40 V operation covers cold-crank, normal, and load-dump conditions without external clamping |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 0 qualification (–40°C to +150°C) confirms reliability for under-hood engine management applications |
Applications
| Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Supply | Off-Board Fuel Injector Driver Power Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supplies regulated 5 V to NTC-based coolant temperature sensor located in engine block, exposed to vibration and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage tracker replicating main ECU 5 V rail with ±10 mV accuracy to maintain sensor linearity and ADC resolution. Use Value: Eliminates drift-induced calibration errors; built-in short-circuit protection prevents latch-up during connector mating/unmating. | Use Scenario: Powers low-side driver IC for port fuel injector mounted on intake manifold, requiring clean, protected 12 V supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protected power switch enabling/disabling injector supply via microcontroller GPIO on EN pin. Use Value: Reverse polarity immunity prevents damage during service; 250 mA output sustains injector coil hold current without thermal derating. |
| Secondary 3.3 V Rail for CAN Transceiver | High-Precision Reference Voltage Replication |
Use Scenario: Generates isolated 3.3 V supply for automotive CAN FD transceiver in body control module, decoupled from noisy main 5 V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Tracking regulator using 3.3 V reference from main LDO to replicate stable local rail. Use Value: PSRR > 60 dB at 100 Hz suppresses ripple from shared power domain; thermal shutdown prevents failure during prolonged bus faults. | Use Scenario: Replicates 2.5 V reference from high-precision DAC to bias analog front-end of knock sensor amplifier. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise voltage follower with <10 mV tracking error, minimizing gain error in signal chain. Use Value: ADJ input bias current ≤0.5 µA avoids loading reference source; 150°C max Tj allows placement near exhaust-manifold-mounted sensors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage tracking regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV71718PDRVR | Fixed 1.8 V output; no ADJ pin; max 150 mA; 1.7–5.5 V input; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Suitable only for board-level 1.8 V logic rails, not off-board sensor tracking | Select only for non-automotive, low-current, fixed-voltage use cases with no reverse polarity or load-dump stress |
| TPS7B8133QDGNRQ1 | Fixed 3.3 V output; 250 mA; 1.6–40 V input; AEC-Q100 Grade 1; no tracking capability | Provides robust 3.3 V supply but cannot replicate arbitrary reference voltages like 5 V or 2.5 V | Choose when a stable fixed rail is sufficient and ADJ-based tracking is unnecessary |
Compared with TLV71718PDRVR and TPS7B8133QDGNRQ1, the TLE4252DATMA1 uniquely supports adjustable voltage tracking with ±10 mV accuracy, reverse polarity protection, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification-making it the only option for precision off-board sensor biasing under harsh automotive transients.

FAQ
What is the minimum required output capacitor for stable operation?
A minimum 10 µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor with ESR ≤5 Ω at 10 kHz must be placed between Pin 5 (Q) and Pin 3 (GND). This ensures phase margin and prevents ringing during load transients. Larger capacitance improves ripple rejection but does not reduce ESR requirement.
Can the TLE4252DATMA1 track a 2.5 V reference while powered from 12 V battery?
Yes. With VADJ = 2.5 V and VI = 12 V, the device maintains tracking accuracy of ±10 mV (±0.4%) across –40°C to 150°C. The drop voltage remains ≤600 mV, ensuring stable 2.5 V output even at 200 mA load.
How does reverse polarity protection operate during service disconnect?
When battery terminals are reversed (VI negative), the internal protection circuit blocks conduction from Q to I, limiting reverse current to ≤5 mA. This prevents damage to downstream sensors or microcontrollers without requiring external series diodes.
Is an external pull-down resistor needed on the EN pin?
No. The EN pin includes an internal 1.5 MΩ pull-down resistor (REN). When left unconnected, EN defaults to logic low, placing the device in standby mode with ≤2 µA current draw-ideal for fail-safe default behavior.
