Product details
Overview
TLE4266GHTMA1 from Infineon is a 5 V low-dropout linear voltage regulator in PG-SOT223-4 package, delivering up to 120 mA output current with ±2% output voltage tolerance and ≤0.5 V dropout at 100 mA. It features inhibit control (low-active), reverse polarity protection, overtemperature shutdown, and operates across -40°C to +150°C junction temperature-designed for automotive body electronics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4266GHTMA1 datasheet, TLE4266GHTMA1 pinout, TLE4266GHTMA1 application, or TLE4266GHTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (5.5–45 V), quiescent current in inhibit mode (<10 µA), PSRR (54 dB @ 100 Hz), load regulation (±40 mV), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The TLE4266GHTMA1 uses a PNP series pass transistor with precision bandgap reference and internal saturation control to prevent oversaturation under varying load conditions. Its feedback loop employs resistor-adjusted voltage division to maintain tight output regulation across wide input and temperature ranges.
Protection functions are fully integrated: thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature; reverse polarity protection blocks conduction below -42 V input; short-circuit current limiting holds peak output current near 150 mA without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% - stable supply for MCU peripherals, sensors, and CAN transceivers requiring precise 5 V rail. |
| Max Output Current | 120 mA - sufficient for powering multiple low-power automotive ICs (e.g., LIN transceivers, position sensors) from single regulator. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.25 V (typ.) @ 100 mA - enables operation down to 5.5 V input, supporting cold-crank scenarios in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Quiescent Current (Inhibit) | <10 µA @ Tj ≤ 100°C - minimizes battery drain during vehicle sleep mode, critical for always-on ECU subsystems. |
| PSRR | 54 dB @ 100 Hz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, preserving analog sensor accuracy. |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +150°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, enabling placement near engine compartments or under-hood ECUs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 45 V - accommodates load-dump transients (up to 40 V) and start-stop battery fluctuations in modern vehicles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-SOT223-4 - thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pin 4 = GND), optimized for automotive PCB layouts requiring high reliability and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Input voltage supply | Connect directly to bulk input capacitor (ceramic); must be decoupled locally to suppress line impedance resonance. |
| 2 (INH) | Inhibit control input | Low-active logic input; pulls output off when ≤0.8 V, reducing total current draw to <10 µA for system-level power gating. |
| 3 (Q) | Regulated output | Delivers 5 V ±2%; requires ≥10 µF output capacitor with ESR ≤10 Ω for stability across full temperature range. |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground | Common return path for input, output, and thermal pad; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands -42 V input without damage or latch-up-eliminates need for external series diode in battery-reversed fault scenarios. |
| Thermal shutdown | Turns off output at ~150°C junction temperature and auto-recovers after cooldown-prevents permanent failure during sustained overload. |
| Load regulation | ±40 mV variation from 5–100 mA load-ensures consistent voltage for ADC references and analog signal conditioning circuits. |
| Line regulation | ±30 mV over 6–28 V input range-maintains regulation during battery voltage sag or surge without external compensation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | 300 mA output, 250 mV dropout @ 300 mA, no inhibit pin, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks automotive qualification and reverse polarity protection; limited to non-safety-critical consumer-grade modules | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where higher current and smaller footprint outweigh missing protections. |
| TPS7B6950QDCYRQ1 | 150 mA output, 300 mV dropout @ 150 mA, integrated enable (active-high), same AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating | Requires active-high enable logic; lacks reverse polarity protection; slightly lower PSRR (45 dB) | Prefer when system uses active-high control signaling and reverse battery risk is mitigated externally. |
Compared with TLV73350PDBVR and TPS7B6950QDCYRQ1, the TLE4266GHTMA1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 operation, reverse polarity immunity, and low-inhibit current in a thermally robust SOT223 package-making it optimal for under-hood and safety-critical body electronics where fault resilience is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full load?
The TLE4266GHTMA1 requires a minimum input voltage of 5.5 V to maintain 5 V output regulation at 120 mA load. Below this threshold, dropout occurs-output voltage drops linearly with input. This value accounts for worst-case tolerance, temperature drift, and 100 mV regulation margin specified in the datasheet.
Can the INH pin be left floating in the circuit?
No. The INH pin must be actively driven-either pulled high (≥3.5 V) to enable output or pulled low (≤0.8 V) to disable it. Leaving it floating risks undefined behavior due to internal leakage paths; a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to input voltage is recommended for default-enable configurations.
Is an external capacitor required on the Q (output) pin, and what are its specifications?
Yes. A minimum 10 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor with ESR ≤10 Ω is mandatory for loop stability across -40°C to +150°C. Lower ESR improves transient response; larger capacitance (e.g., 22 µF) further reduces output ripple under dynamic load steps.
Does the TLE4266GHTMA1 support parallel operation for higher current capability?
No. The device lacks current-sharing features such as current-sense outputs or master-slave synchronization. Parallel connection may cause unequal current distribution and thermal imbalance due to output voltage tolerance mismatch (±2%), risking premature thermal shutdown in one unit.
