Product details
Overview
TLE4253EXUMA1 from Infineon is a monolithic high-precision voltage tracking regulator in PG-DSO-8 exposed pad package, designed to replicate an external reference voltage with ±1.5% tracking tolerance. It delivers up to 250 mA output current, supports input voltages from −42 V to +45 V, and operates across −40°C to +150°C junction temperature-enabling use in engine control unit (ECU) sensor supply rails under automotive load-dump and reverse-battery conditions.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4253EXUMA1 datasheet, TLE4253EXUMA1 pinout, TLE4253EXUMA1 application, or TLE4253EXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-function EN/ADJ input, ceramic-capacitor stability, low 25 µA shutdown current, and integrated short-circuit protection to battery/GND-critical for always-on automotive subsystems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance.
Technical Context
The TLE4253EXUMA1 implements a precision error amplifier with inverting feedback (FB pin) and a high-side pass transistor controlled via saturation logic. Its tracking architecture compares the ADJ/EN input voltage against an internal 1.4 V reference, enabling proportional output scaling-e.g., 5 V reference yields 5 V output (±1.5%), while 2.5 V reference yields 2.5 V output (±1.5%).
Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown triggered at Tj ≥ 165°C, reverse-polarity hardening up to −42 V on VI, and foldback current limiting during output short-to-battery. The exposed pad (EP) provides RthJC = 9 K/W, reducing thermal resistance by >75% versus standard DSO-8 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 250 mA max - sufficient to power multiple Hall-effect or pressure sensors without external boost stages. |
| Tracking tolerance | ±1.5% - ensures sensor supply matches main rail accuracy, minimizing measurement offset in closed-loop systems. |
| Input voltage range | −42 V to +45 V - withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump) and reverse-battery transients without external TVS. |
| Quiescent current (OFF) | 25 µA typical - enables <1 µA system standby current when paired with microcontroller-controlled EN/ADJ. |
| Thermal resistance (J–C) | 9 K/W - allows 2.5 W continuous dissipation at ΔT = 22.5°C above PCB heatsink, eliminating need for external heatsinks. |
| Output capacitor | 10 µF ceramic (ESR ≤ 5 Ω) - eliminates electrolytic capacitors, improving lifetime and cold-start reliability. |
| Junction temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, supporting placement near hot ECU components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-DSO-8 exposed pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, with thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Q) | Tracker output | Regulated output node; requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor with ESR ≤ 5 Ω to ensure stability. |
| 2, 3, 7 (n.c.) | Not connected | No internal connection; must be externally tied to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction. |
| 4 (FB) | Inverting feedback input | Connect directly to Q for unity-gain tracking; use resistor divider for gain >1 (e.g., 5 V ref → 8 V out). |
| 5 (EN/ADJ) | Enable & reference input | Active-high enable; reference voltage applied here sets output (2.0–45 V range); <2.0 V disables regulator. |
| 6 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary GND connection; must be low-inductance path to EP and system ground plane. |
| 8 (I) | Input supply | High-voltage input rail; requires local 100 nF ceramic capacitor close to pin for transient immunity. |
| EP (exposed pad) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to ≥300 mm² copper area tied to GND; provides RthJC = 9 K/W and ESD discharge path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Proportional voltage tracking | Output scales linearly with ADJ/EN voltage (e.g., 3.3 V ref → 3.3 V out), enabling flexible multi-rail sensor biasing from single master regulator. |
| Integrated reverse-polarity protection | Withstands −42 V on VI indefinitely-eliminates need for external series diode or MOSFET in battery-connected applications. |
| Short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering foldback current limit protects against sustained shorts to battery (+45 V) or GND (−42 V) without latch-up. |
| Low-ESR ceramic stability | Stable with 10 µF X7R/X5R ceramics (ESR ≤ 5 Ω), removing aging-prone electrolytics and enabling compact 2-layer PCB layouts. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C), including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD testing-certified for safety-critical power domains in ASIL-B systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage tracking regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV71725PDQNR | Fixed 2.5 V output; no tracking capability; max 150 mA; VI ≤ 5.5 V; no reverse-polarity or short-to-battery protection. | Limited to low-voltage, non-automotive applications (e.g., portable instrumentation); unsuitable for 12 V/24 V battery systems. | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer designs with stable 3.3 V input and no fault transients. |
| LM2936QMM-5.0/NOPB | Fixed 5.0 V output; 50 mA output; VI ≤ 40 V; no EN/ADJ flexibility; lacks short-to-battery protection and AEC-Q100 qualification. | Acceptable for non-safety-critical interior modules (e.g., HVAC control) but fails load-dump immunity and thermal specs for engine bay use. | Use only where full AEC-Q100 compliance and 250 mA drive are not required. |
Compared with TLV71725PDQNR and LM2936QMM-5.0/NOPB, TLE4253EXUMA1 uniquely combines adjustable tracking, 250 mA drive, −42 V reverse tolerance, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification-making it the sole option for high-reliability engine bay sensor supplies requiring dynamic reference scaling.

FAQ
What is the minimum reference voltage required at the EN/ADJ pin for regulation?
The TLE4253EXUMA1 requires a minimum of 2.0 V applied to the EN/ADJ pin to initiate regulation. Below this threshold, the device enters shutdown mode with 25 µA quiescent current. This 2.0 V lower limit is specified in the functional range table (P_4.2.5) and verified across −40°C to +150°C.
Can the TLE4253EXUMA1 track a reference voltage higher than 5 V?
Yes-the EN/ADJ pin accepts reference voltages up to 45 V, enabling output tracking of high-side references such as 8 V or 12 V rails. When used with a resistor divider on FB, the output can exceed the reference voltage (e.g., 5 V ref → 8 V out), as confirmed in Section 5 "Application Information" of the datasheet.
Is external compensation required for stability with ceramic output capacitors?
No external compensation is needed. The TLE4253EXUMA1 is internally compensated for stability with 10 µF ceramic capacitors having ESR ≤ 5 Ω (measured at 10 kHz), as validated in the functional range (P_4.2.3/P_4.2.4) and application circuits in the datasheet.
How is thermal performance affected if the exposed pad is not soldered to PCB ground?
Without soldering the exposed pad to a ≥300 mm² GND copper area, RthJA degrades from 64 K/W to 169 K/W, reducing maximum sustainable power dissipation from 2.5 W to <0.5 W at 150°C ambient-causing thermal shutdown under 250 mA load. This is quantified in Table 3 (P_4.3.7–P_4.3.10).
