Product details
Overview
TLE42712GNTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 5-V low-drop fixed linear voltage regulator with integrated watchdog, reset generator, and automotive-grade protection. It delivers up to 550 mA output current with ±2% output voltage tolerance (4.90–5.10 V), supports input voltages up to 42 V (65 V transient ≤400 ms), and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature-designed for engine control units and body electronics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TLE42712GNTMA1 datasheet, TLE42712GNTMA1 pinout, TLE42712GNTMA1 application, or TLE42712GNTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 350 mV typical dropout at 550 mA, integrated 30 kΩ pull-up on open-collector reset output (RO), adjustable reset delay via external capacitor on pin D, watchdog timeout of 40–80 ms, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The TLE42712GNTMA1 implements a bandgap-referenced control amplifier driving a series pass transistor with saturation control to prevent over-saturation under load. Its reset generator uses a precision charge/discharge circuit on pin D to generate a programmable delay (8–18 ms with 100 nF), while the watchdog monitors rising edges on WI to maintain RO high-state.
Protection logic includes reverse-polarity detection, thermal shutdown at ~170 °C, overvoltage cutoff at 40–46 V, and short-circuit current limiting to 650–800 mA. Inhibit (INH) enables full device shutdown with <25 µA standby current when pulled low.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 5 V automotive LDO with watchdog and reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV70750PDBVR | No watchdog or reset generator; 300 mA output; 200 mV dropout; no AEC-Q100 rating | Suitable only for non-safety-critical infotainment peripherals | Select only if watchdog/reset functions are implemented externally and AEC-Q100 is not required. |
| MAX16135ATA+T | 5 V output with watchdog and reset, but 200 mA max output; no reverse polarity protection; RthJA = 120 K/W | Limited to low-power modules like smart junction boxes | Choose when board space is constrained and thermal budget allows higher ambient temperatures. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for continuous operation?
The TLE42712GNTMA1 supports continuous input voltage from 6 V to 40 V. It tolerates up to 65 V for ≤400 ms during load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, after which it shuts down and automatically recovers when voltage returns within spec.
How is the reset delay time configured?
Reset delay is set by connecting an external capacitor between pin D and GND. With a 100 nF capacitor, the delay ranges from 8 ms (min) to 18 ms (max) across temperature and process variation. The internal charge current is 8–25 µA, and thresholds are 0.2–0.8 V (VLD) and 1.4–2.3 V (VUD).
Does the RO pin require an external pull-up resistor?
No. Pin RO is an open-collector output with an internal 18–46 kΩ pull-up resistor connected to the Q (5 V) output. This eliminates the need for external components while ensuring compatible logic levels for standard 5 V microcontrollers.
Can the watchdog function operate independently of the reset generator?
Yes. The watchdog circuit activates only after the reset delay expires and RO goes high. It runs autonomously thereafter, discharging the D-capacitor at 1.5–3.5 µA until VD falls below VLDW, triggering RO low. A rising edge on WI at any time resets the discharge cycle and maintains RO high.
