Product details
Overview
TLE4284DV18ATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic NPN-type fixed-output 1.8 V automotive voltage regulator in PG-TO252-3-11 (DPAK) package, delivering up to 1.0 A output current with typical dropout voltage of 1.2 V at 500 mA, -40 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range, and integrated short-circuit and overtemperature protection - used to power microcontroller core rails in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4284DV18ATMA1 datasheet, TLE4284DV18ATMA1 pinout, TLE4284DV18ATMA1 application, or TLE4284DV18ATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 1.8 V output tolerance (±2.8%), dropout behavior under 1 A load, thermal resistance with heatsink area, PSRR at 120 Hz, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The TLE4284DV18ATMA1 implements a monolithic NPN pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and feedback loop, enabling stable 1.8 V regulation across input voltages from 3.2 V to 40 V. Its protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown triggered at ~170 °C junction temperature.
Unlike LDOs using PMOS pass devices, this NPN-based regulator requires minimum headroom (VI − VQ ≥ 1.0 V) and exhibits higher dropout than modern CMOS LDOs but offers superior ruggedness in transient-overvoltage automotive environments - confirmed by 40 V absolute max input rating and HBM ESD rating of 4 kV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2.8% (1.75–1.85 V) over full load and temperature range - ensures compatibility with 1.8 V FPGA I/O or MCU core supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0 A continuous - supports single-core automotive microcontrollers or sensor signal chains without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.30 V max at 1.0 A load - defines minimum input voltage of 3.1 V for reliable 1.8 V regulation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.2 V to 40 V - accommodates cold-crank (≥4.5 V), normal operation (13.5 V), and load-dump transients (≤40 V). |
| Junction Temp Range | -40 °C to +150 °C - validated for placement near engines or transmission controllers per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. |
| PSRR | 65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses alternator ripple before sensitive analog or clock domains. |
| Thermal Resistance | 78 K/W with 300 mm² heatsink - enables 1 A operation at 85 °C ambient when PCB copper area is properly allocated. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO252-3-11 (DPAK), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed tab connected to Pin 2 (Q/Output) for heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal bias and feedback; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2, Tab | Q (Output) | Main regulated 1.8 V output; tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 and serves as primary thermal path to PCB copper. |
| 3 | I (Input) | Unregulated input supply; requires local 10 µF/ESR ≤10 Ω ceramic or tantalum capacitor placed within 5 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C) qualification - meets automotive reliability and stress-test requirements for safety-critical ECUs. |
| Integrated Protection | Short-circuit foldback + thermal shutdown - prevents latch-up or destruction during wiring faults or overheating without external circuitry. |
| Low-Noise Regulation | 30 ppm RMS output noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) - avoids jitter injection into ADC references or PLL power domains. |
| Green Product | RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, lead-free - satisfies EU ELV and OEM environmental compliance mandates. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Core Supply | Transmission Control Module (TCM) Sensor Interface |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output automotive voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73318PDBVR | PMOS LDO, 1.8 V fixed, 300 mA max, 170 mV dropout @ 300 mA, no AEC-Q100 rating | Designed for infotainment or body electronics only; not qualified for powertrain or ADAS zones | Select only for non-safety-critical interior modules where ambient < 105 °C and input < 5.5 V |
| NCP1117ST18T3G | NPN regulator, 1.8 V fixed, 1.0 A, 1.2 V dropout @ 1 A, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40 °C to +105 °C), no load-dump rating | Limited to cabin or chassis modules; lacks 40 V input rating and Grade 0 thermal capability | Acceptable for HVAC or seat control where peak ambient ≤ 105 °C and no load-dump exposure |
Compared with TLV73318PDBVR and NCP1117ST18T3G, the TLE4284DV18ATMA1 uniquely combines Grade 0 AEC-Q100 qualification, 40 V input tolerance, and 150 °C operation - making it the only viable choice for under-hood ECU and transmission controller core supplies requiring functional safety alignment.

FAQ
Is TLE4284DV18ATMA1 pin-compatible with other TLE4284 variants like DV15 or DV33?
Yes - all TLE4284 fixed-output variants (DV15, DV18, DV26, DV33, DV50) share identical PG-TO252-3-11 pinout (GND–Q–I) and thermal pad layout. Only the output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is needed when switching between them, provided input/output capacitors meet respective stability requirements.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full 1.0 A load?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VQ + VDR(max). For TLE4284DV18ATMA1, VQ = 1.8 V and VDR(max) = 1.40 V at 1.0 A, yielding 3.2 V minimum. This is verified in Table 7 (VI ≥ 3.2 V for guaranteed regulation at 10 mA–1.0 A load).
Does TLE4284DV18ATMA1 require an external capacitor on the output, and what type is recommended?
Yes - a minimum 10 µF output capacitor with ESR ≤10 Ω is mandatory for stability and transient response. Tantalum or low-ESR aluminum polymer capacitors are preferred; ceramic capacitors may be used if series resistance ≥5 Ω is added to ensure phase margin.
Can TLE4284DV18ATMA1 be used in adjustable-output configuration?
No - the DV18 variant is factory-trimmed for fixed 1.8 V output and lacks the ADJ pin. Only the base TLE4284 (no suffix) or "DV" (adjustable) version provides the ADJ terminal and internal reference for external resistor-divider programming.
