Product details
Overview
TLE42712SAKSA1 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. Used in engine control units for stable 5-V supply to microcontrollers and sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TLE42712SAKSA1 datasheet, TLE42712SAKSA1 pinout, TLE42712SAKSA1 application, or TLE42712SAKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated reset delay (8–18 ms with 100 nF capacitor), watchdog period (40–80 ms), inhibit-controlled shutdown, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power rail conditioning.
Technical Context
The TLE42712SAKSA1 implements a bandgap-referenced control amplifier driving a series pass transistor with saturation control to maintain regulation under varying load. Its reset generator uses a precision charge/discharge circuit on the D pin to set delay time, while the watchdog monitors rising edges on WI to prevent system lockup.
Protection functions are fully integrated: overtemperature shutdown triggers at ~150 °C, reverse polarity protection blocks negative input, and overvoltage protection disables operation above 46 V (typical turn-off). The RO pin provides open-collector reset signaling with internal 30 kΩ pull-up to Q.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV70750PDRVR | No integrated watchdog or reset generator; 300 mA max output; 250 mV dropout at 300 mA | Suitable only for non-safety-critical 5-V loads without supervision | Select if cost-sensitive, low-power, and no system-level fault monitoring required |
| MAX16126ATP+T | Higher quiescent current (25 µA); no inhibit pin; fixed 100 ms reset timeout (non-adjustable) | Limited flexibility in reset timing; lacks INH control for deep-sleep sequencing | Select if board space is constrained and fixed reset timing suffices |
Compared with TLV70750PDRVR and MAX16126ATP+T, the TLE42712SAKSA1 uniquely combines adjustable reset delay, edge-triggered watchdog, inhibit control, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating-enabling single-chip compliance with ASIL-B power management requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage for TLE42712SAKSA1?
The maximum continuous input voltage is 40 V, as specified in the operating range (Table 3). It tolerates up to 65 V for ≤400 ms per absolute maximum ratings, enabling compliance with ISO 7637-2 load dump pulse testing in automotive environments.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TLE42712SAKSA1?
Reset delay is set by connecting a capacitor between pin D (5) and GND. With a 100 nF capacitor, delay ranges from 8 ms (min) to 18 ms (max) across temperature and process variation, as defined in Table 4. No external resistors are needed.
Does TLE42712SAKSA1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RO pin?
No. Pin RO (3) has an internal 30 kΩ pull-up resistor connected to the Q (7) output. This eliminates the need for an external component while ensuring proper reset signaling level relative to the regulated 5-V rail.
Can the watchdog function operate independently of the reset generator?
Yes. The watchdog circuit activates only after the reset output RO goes high (i.e., after the D-pin capacitor charges above VUD). It then discharges the same capacitor at a different rate (IDWD) and does not interfere with initial reset timing or inhibit-controlled shutdown.
