Product details
Overview
TLE4268G from Infineon Technologies is a 5-V low-drop fixed-voltage regulator with integrated watchdog, reset generator, overtemperature and reverse-polarity protection, delivering ≥180 mA output current at ≤0.5 V drop (IQ = 150 mA), ±2% output voltage tolerance, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4268G datasheet, TLE4268G pinout, TLE4268G application, or TLE4268G equivalent, this device supports critical 5-V microcontroller supply regulation with programmable reset threshold (4.2–4.8 V), adjustable reset delay (10–25 ms), watchdog activation above 8 mA load, and operation across −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TLE4268G implements a bandgap-referenced control amplifier driving a series pass transistor with saturation control to maintain low dropout under load. Its reset generator monitors scaled output voltage at RADJ; when input falls below 1.35 V (typ.), it discharges an external capacitor on D pin until lower timing threshold (0.4 V typ.) triggers open-collector RO low.
Watchdog logic activates only above 8 mA load current and responds to rising edges on W pin; missing pulses within 55 ms (typ., CD = 100 nF) force RO low. Protection circuits include thermal shutdown (>150 °C), reverse-polarity blocking, and short-circuit current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.00 V ±2% (4.90–5.10 V); stable regulation across 6–28 V input and 5–150 mA load. |
| Drop Voltage | 0.25–0.50 V at 150 mA; enables operation with VI as low as 5.5 V while sustaining 5 V output. |
| Reset Threshold | 4.2–4.8 V (adjustable via RADJ pin); default 4.5 V when RADJ grounded; ensures reliable MCU brown-out detection. |
| Reset Delay Time | 10–25 ms (CD = 100 nF); externally set via capacitor on D pin for configurable reset hold duration. |
| Watchdog Period | 30–75 ms (CD = 100 nF); defines maximum allowed pulse interval before RO asserts reset. |
| Junction Temp Range | −40 °C to +150 °C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0; supports under-hood automotive environments. |
| Quiescent Current | 13–20 mA at 150 mA load; ultra-low 300–450 μA at zero load; minimizes standby power loss. |
Pinout & Package
Available in PG-DSO-20 package (20-pin, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 8, 13, 19, 20 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 3 | RO | Open-collector reset output; pulled up to VQ (5 V) via 30 kΩ internal resistor; sinks reset signal when triggered. |
| 4–7, 14–17 | GND | Multiple ground terminals; reduce impedance and improve thermal dissipation in high-current automotive PCB layouts. |
| 9 | D | Reset delay capacitor node; connects external capacitor to GND to set reset pulse width (10–25 ms typical). |
| 10 | RADJ | Reset threshold adjustment input; voltage divider to GND sets VRT from 4.2–4.8 V; grounded → 4.5 V trigger. |
| 11 | W | Positive-edge-triggered watchdog input; requires ≥25 ms pulse interval (CD = 100 nF); activates only above 8 mA load. |
| 12 | Q | Regulated 5 V output; requires 22 μF ceramic capacitor (ESR < 3 Ω) directly at pin for stability. |
| 18 | I | Input voltage terminal; accepts 5.5–45 V; requires local ceramic decoupling capacitor directly at pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Watchdog | Edge-triggered monitoring with 55 ms (typ.) timeout; disabled below 8 mA load to prevent false resets during MCU sleep. |
| Adjustable Reset Threshold | Voltage-divider programmable from 4.2–4.8 V via RADJ pin; eliminates need for external comparator circuitry. |
| Low-Drop Operation | 0.25 V (typ.) dropout at 150 mA enables use with marginal battery voltages (e.g., cold-crank 6 V). |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C); validated for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS ECU applications. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Internal blocking prevents damage from accidental battery reversal; no external diode required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 5-V automotive LDO with watchdog and reset functions.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV70750PDBVR | Lower IQ (25 μA), no watchdog or reset; 300 mA output; SOT-23-5 package. | Lacks system supervision features; suitable only for non-safety-critical, low-power auxiliary rails. | Select only if watchdog/reset functionality is handled externally and thermal/automotive qualification is not required. |
| MAX16126ATP+T | 3.3 V fixed output; includes power-good flag but no watchdog; 200 mA; TQFN-20 package. | Not pin-compatible; requires redesign for 5 V requirement and lacks edge-triggered watchdog monitoring. | Consider only for 3.3 V systems needing high-accuracy reset (±0.5%) without watchdog dependency. |
Compared with TLV70750PDBVR and MAX16126ATP+T, the TLE4268G uniquely integrates watchdog, adjustable reset, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification in a single PG-DSO-20 package-enabling simplified, safety-aware 5 V supply design without external supervision ICs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation?
The TLE4268G begins regulating at VI ≥ 5.5 V, with guaranteed 5.0 V ±2% output across 6–28 V input range. Below 5.5 V, dropout increases rapidly; operation below 5.5 V is not specified and may result in unregulated output or reset assertion.
How is the watchdog function enabled or disabled?
The watchdog activates automatically when load current exceeds 8 mA (typical); it deactivates below that threshold to avoid spurious resets during MCU sleep. No external enable/disable signal is required-the function is load-dependent and fully integrated.
Can the reset threshold be set below 4.2 V?
No. The internal reference limits RADJ-based reset threshold to 4.2–4.8 V. Connecting RADJ directly to GND yields 4.5 V (typical); applying a voltage divider that scales VQ below 1.28 V violates the absolute maximum rating (VRADJ ≥ −0.3 V) and risks malfunction.
Is thermal pad soldering required for PG-DSO-20?
Yes. The exposed thermal pad on the PG-DSO-20 package must be soldered to a large copper pour on the PCB to achieve Rthj-a = 100 K/W and sustain full 150 °C junction temperature. Omitting pad connection reduces thermal performance and risks premature thermal shutdown.
