Product details
Overview
TLE7272D from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic 5-V low-dropout linear voltage regulator with ±2% output accuracy, 300 mA load capability, and ultra-low quiescent current (20 µA typ). It integrates reset monitoring (4.65 V threshold, 16 ms delay), inhibit control, and reverse-current protection, and is qualified for automotive battery-supplied microcontroller power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TLE7272D datasheet, TLE7272D pinout, TLE7272D application, or TLE7272D equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 200 mA (250 mV typ), reset hysteresis (100 mV), thermal resistance (8 K/W junction-to-case), ceramic capacitor stability (≥470 nF), and inhibit input logic thresholds (3.1 V turn-on, 0.8 V turn-off).
Technical Context
The TLE7272D uses a charge-pump-based bandgap reference and internal current-limiting circuitry to maintain regulation across 5.5–42 V input while delivering up to 300 mA. Its reset generator monitors output voltage with 4.65 V falling-edge threshold and 16 ms delay before asserting high-impedance open-collector RO.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C junction temperature, and the device sustains stable operation with ceramic output capacitors ≥470 nF (ESR < 3 Ω). Inhibit input disables regulation, reducing quiescent current to 5 µA, and integrated sink circuitry clamps Q-pin voltage to ≤5.5 V during reverse current events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% - ensures reliable µC supply within automotive-grade tolerance bands |
| Max Output Current | 320 mA - supports full-load operation of mid-complexity automotive ECUs |
| Dropout Voltage | 250 mV @ 200 mA - enables regulation down to VI = 5.25 V, critical for cold-crank scenarios |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA typ - allows permanent VBAT connection without excessive battery drain |
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V (±150 mV) - triggers controlled µC reset before brown-out lockup |
| Inhibit Logic | Turn-on at 3.1 V, turn-off at 0.8 V - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels |
| Thermal Resistance | 8 K/W (junct.-case) - enables direct PCB heatsinking in TO252-5 package |
Pinout & Package
Package: P-TO252-5 (D-PAK), thermally enhanced surface-mount package with Pin 3 internally connected to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Input | Primary VIN node; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling directly at IC |
| 2 (RO) | Reset Output | Open-collector output with 30 kΩ internal pull-up; asserts LOW until VQ ≥ 4.65 V + 16 ms delay |
| 3 (GND) | Ground / Heatsink | Electrical ground and primary thermal path; must be soldered to large copper pour |
| 4 (INH) | Inhibit Input | Active-low enable; internal pull-down; draws ≤1 µA when held LOW |
| 5 (Q) | Regulated Output | 5 V regulated rail; requires ≥470 nF ceramic capacitor (ESR < 3 Ω) for loop stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse-current sink protection | Clamps Q-pin voltage to ≤5.5 V during backfeed, preventing downstream overvoltage damage |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Guaranteed loop stability with ≥470 nF ceramic output cap (ESR < 3 Ω), eliminating bulk electrolytic dependency |
| Automotive-grade thermal shutdown | Activates at 150 °C junction temperature and auto-recovers after cooldown, supporting under-hood deployment |
| Low-noise reset timing | 16 ms fixed reset delay with 12 µs reaction time ensures deterministic µC initialization sequence |
| Ultra-low standby consumption | 5 µA max inhibited current enables always-on systems (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers) without parasitic drain |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 5 V automotive LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | Lower IQ (4 µA), lower max current (300 mA), no integrated reset or inhibit | Lacks reset monitoring and inhibit control; requires external reset IC and enable logic | Choose for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical consumer applications where reset functionality is handled externally |
| TPS7B6950QDCYRQ1 | Higher accuracy (±1%), higher PSRR (70 dB), no charge-pump noise, but higher IQ (35 µA) | Superior noise performance suits analog sensor front-ends; lacks reverse-current sink protection | Prefer for precision analog subsystems where low noise outweighs reverse-current protection needs |
Compared with TLV73350PDBVR and TPS7B6950QDCYRQ1, the TLE7272D uniquely combines automotive-grade reset, inhibit, reverse-current protection, and ultra-low IQ in a single TO252-5 package-making it optimal for safety-critical, always-on ECU sub-rails requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stable operation?
The TLE7272D requires a minimum 470 nF ceramic output capacitor with ESR < 3 Ω to ensure loop stability across all operating conditions. Adding a parallel 4.7–47 µF electrolytic capacitor improves transient load response but is not mandatory for basic regulation stability.
How does the reset function behave during power-up?
At power-up, the RO pin remains LOW until the output voltage reaches 4.65 V, then stays LOW for an additional 16 ms (typical) before transitioning HIGH. This ensures the microcontroller receives a clean, debounced reset signal after stable 5 V is established.
Can the TLE7272D be used with input voltages below 6 V?
No-the device is specified for operation only above 5.5 V input. Below this, regulation is not guaranteed, and the reset circuit may not initialize correctly. It is not designed for USB-powered or low-voltage battery applications.
Is an external pull-up resistor required on the RO pin?
No-an internal 30 kΩ pull-up resistor is integrated. An external resistor ≥10 kΩ to Q is optional and only needed if stronger pull-up strength or different voltage referencing is required; it is not necessary for standard microcontroller reset input compatibility.
