Product details
Overview
TLE42712AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 5-V fixed-output, low-dropout linear voltage regulator with integrated watchdog and reset generator, reverse polarity protection, overvoltage protection (65 V/400 ms), and overtemperature shutdown. It delivers ±2% output accuracy at up to 550 mA load across 6–26 V input, supports inhibit control, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive power rail conditioning in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the TLE42712AKSA1 datasheet, TLE42712AKSA1 pinout, TLE42712AKSA1 application, or TLE42712AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (≤700 mV @ 550 mA), watchdog timing (40–80 ms period), reset delay adjustability (via external capacitor), and 42 V continuous / 65 V transient input capability.
Technical Context
The TLE42712AKSA1 integrates a bandgap reference, error amplifier, pass transistor, and protection circuitry into a single monolithic IC. Its architecture includes an open-collector reset output (RO) pulled internally to Q via 30 kΩ, a programmable reset delay (D pin with external capacitor), and a watchdog input (WI) that monitors controller activity using dual-threshold hysteresis (0.2–2.3 V).
It implements thermal shutdown at junction temperatures exceeding 150 °C, reverse-polarity blocking down to −42 V, and overvoltage cutoff triggered at 40–46 V. The inhibit (INH) input enables full device shutdown with <25 µA standby current, while output current limiting activates at 650–800 mA under short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 5.00 V ±2% (4.90–5.10 V); stable across 5–550 mA load and 6–26 V input |
| Dropout voltage | ≤700 mV @ 550 mA; enables regulation from 5.7 V input in low-voltage battery scenarios |
| Input voltage range | −42 V to +42 V continuous; +65 V survivable for ≤400 ms (load dump protection) |
| Reset delay timing | 8–18 ms with 100 nF capacitor on D pin; configurable for power-on sequencing |
| Watchdog period | 40–80 ms with 100 nF capacitor; detects microcontroller lockup in safety-critical systems |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at Tj ≥ 150 °C; protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Quiescent current | ≤6 µA in inhibit-off state; minimizes battery drain during vehicle sleep mode |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-7 (TO-263-7), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed die pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Input bypass connection | Direct ceramic capacitor tie to GND; stabilizes input impedance and suppresses transients |
| 2 (INH) | Inhibit control input | Logic-level enable/disable; <1.3 V disables regulator, >2.0 V enables operation |
| 3 (RO) | Open-collector reset output | Pulled to Q via 30 kΩ internally; drives external reset line when VQ drops below 4.5 V |
| 4 (GND) | Power ground reference | Main return path for load, bias, and protection currents; must be low-impedance |
| 5 (D) | Reset delay capacitor terminal | Connects external capacitor to set power-on reset timeout (e.g., 100 nF → 13 ms typical) |
| 6 (WI) | Watchdog input | Accepts periodic pulses; missing edge triggers reset after watchdog period expires |
| 7 (Q) | 5-V regulated output | Delivers up to 550 mA; requires 22 µF low-ESR capacitor (ESR < 3 Ω) for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated watchdog timer | Programmable 40–80 ms period with 30–66 ms trigger window; eliminates need for external supervision IC |
| Adjustable power-on reset | Capacitor-programmable delay (8–18 ms); ensures MCU initialization completes before release |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands −42 V input without damage; prevents field failures from battery misconnection |
| Load dump survival | 65 V transient tolerance for ≤400 ms per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a; meets automotive surge requirements |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation; suitable for under-hood ECU deployment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 5-V automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | Lower IQ (2.5 µA), no watchdog/reset, max 300 mA output, 5.5 V max input | Lacks automotive qualification, no overvoltage or thermal protection beyond basic limits | Only suitable for non-safety, low-power infotainment peripherals-not for ECU/TCM primary rails |
| MAX16910ATA+T | 5 V output, 250 mA, integrated watchdog & reset, but no inhibit pin and only 28 V abs max input | No reverse polarity protection; not qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Acceptable for interior modules with limited voltage stress; insufficient for engine bay deployment |
Compared with TLV73350PDBVR and MAX16910ATA+T, TLE42712AKSA1 uniquely combines 550 mA output, 65 V transient survival, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating, and full inhibit/watchdog/reset integration-making it the only drop-in solution for demanding under-hood power domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for continuous operation?
The TLE42712AKSA1 supports continuous input voltages from −42 V to +42 V. It tolerates up to +65 V for durations ≤400 ms, complying with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump requirements. Operation outside these limits risks permanent damage, even briefly.
How does the watchdog function interact with the reset generator?
The watchdog (WI pin) and reset generator (D/RO pins) operate independently but share the same internal state machine. A missed watchdog pulse triggers a reset after the programmed watchdog period, asserting RO low. Power-on reset delay (set by D pin capacitor) occurs first; watchdog monitoring begins only after reset deassertion.
Can the reset output (RO) drive a microcontroller's external reset pin directly?
Yes-RO is an open-collector output with internal 30 kΩ pull-up to Q. It sinks up to 3 mA and can directly assert standard CMOS or TTL reset inputs. For longer traces or noise-sensitive designs, add a 10 kΩ external pull-up to 5 V and series RC filter per MCU datasheet recommendations.
Is thermal derating required when operating above 100 °C ambient?
Yes-junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C. With RthJA = 65 K/W (PG-TO263-7), output current must be reduced above 100 °C ambient. At 125 °C ambient, max continuous load drops to ~350 mA with standard PCB copper; forced airflow or heatsinking restores full 550 mA capability.
