Product details
Overview
TLE42642GHTSA2 from Infineon is a monolithic 5 V low-drop fixed linear voltage regulator in PG-SOT223-4 package, delivering up to 150 mA output current with ±3% output voltage tolerance (±2% up to 50 mA), 40 µA quiescent current, and operation from 5.5 V to 45 V input across −40°C to 150°C junction temperature - designed for microprocessor power supply in automotive control units.
For engineers reviewing the TLE42642GHTSA2 datasheet, TLE42642GHTSA2 pinout, TLE42642GHTSA2 application, or TLE42642GHTSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 100 mA (0.22 V typ), PSRR of 68 dB at 100 Hz, thermal protection, reverse-polarity immunity, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood electronics.
Technical Context
The TLE42642GHTSA2 implements a bandgap-referenced control loop comparing a divided output voltage against a 2.5 V internal reference to regulate 5 V output. Saturation control prevents over-saturation of the series pass transistor under high load.
It integrates overtemperature shutdown, short-circuit current limiting (150–500 mA), reverse-polarity protection, and operates with input as low as 5.5 V - enabling stable regulation even during cold-crank automotive transients down to 5.5 V while maintaining ≤0.5 V dropout at full 150 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 5.0 V ±3% (±2% up to 50 mA load) - ensures MCU core logic compatibility across wide temperature and line conditions |
| Max output current | 150 mA continuous - sufficient for automotive sensors, CAN transceivers, and small microcontrollers |
| Quiescent current | 40 µA typ (≤70 µA max at Tj ≤85°C) - enables always-on systems with ultra-low standby power |
| Dropout voltage | 0.22 V typ at 100 mA - allows regulation from 5.5 V input during automotive cold-crank events |
| PSRR | 68 dB at 100 Hz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise on battery-supplied rails |
| Operating temp | −40°C to +150°C junction - qualified for engine compartment and transmission control module placement |
| Input voltage range | 5.5 V to 45 V - covers 12 V and 24 V automotive systems including load-dump transients |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-SOT223-4 - thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pin 4), footprint optimized for PCB heat spreading on 300 mm² copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Input voltage | Connects to unregulated battery rail; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| 2, 4 (GND) | Ground | Pin 2 and pin 4 are both ground terminals; pin 4 is thermal pad tied to PCB ground plane for heat dissipation |
| 3 (Q) | Regulated 5 V output | Supplies downstream circuitry; requires ≥10 µF output capacitor with ESR ≤4 Ω for loop stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C) for safety-critical automotive ECUs |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands −42 V input without damage - eliminates need for external series diode |
| SOA current derating | Automatically reduces output current above 25 V input to prevent thermal runaway |
| Low ESR capacitor support | Stable with MLCC or tantalum output capacitors (≥10 µF, ESR ≤4 Ω) |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown, short-circuit current limiting, and overload foldback - no external components required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-drop automotive LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | 300 mA output, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package, not AEC-Q100 qualified | Targeted at industrial or consumer portable systems - lacks automotive thermal and reliability validation | Select only for non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not required and higher current is needed |
| TLE42744GVT | 400 mA output, 70 µA IQ, same PG-SOT223-4 package, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 | Higher current capability with identical pinout and protection features - suitable for upgraded load requirements | Drop-in replacement when >150 mA output or improved thermal margin is required |
Compared with TLV73350PDBVR, TLE42642GHTSA2 provides guaranteed automotive qualification and lower quiescent current; compared with TLE42744GVT, it offers reduced IQ (40 µA vs. 70 µA) at the cost of 250 mA lower output current - optimal for always-on, low-power ECU subsystems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation?
The TLE42642GHTSA2 requires a minimum input voltage of 5.5 V to maintain regulated 5 V output. Below this threshold, the device enters dropout mode and output voltage follows input minus dropout voltage. This specification enables reliable operation during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to 5.5 V.
Can this regulator be used without an output capacitor?
No - the TLE42642GHTSA2 requires a minimum 10 µF output capacitor with ESR ≤4 Ω for control-loop stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential malfunction. Tantalum or multilayer ceramic capacitors meeting these specs are recommended per Infineon's application circuit guidance.
Is thermal derating required when using the PG-SOT223-4 package on standard FR-4?
Yes - with no heatsink, Rthj-a is 164 K/W. At 150 mA and 45 V input, power dissipation reaches ~6 W, raising junction temperature beyond 150°C. Use ≥300 mm² copper pour under pin 4 (GND thermal pad) to reduce Rthj-a to 81 K/W and ensure safe operation within spec.
Does the device support adjustable output voltage via external resistors?
No - the TLE42642GHTSA2 is a fixed 5 V output regulator with internal resistor divider. It lacks feedback (FB) or adjust (ADJ) pins. For adjustable output, consider Infineon's TLE4254 or TLE4274 series, which provide external resistor programming of VOUT.
