Product details
Overview
TLE72742DATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic 5 V low-dropout linear voltage regulator for automotive load currents up to 300 mA, featuring ±2% output voltage accuracy, ultra-low 20 µA quiescent current, 250 mV typical dropout at 200 mA, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood applications.
For engineers reviewing the TLE72742DATMA1 datasheet, TLE72742DATMA1 pinout, TLE72742DATMA1 application, or TLE72742DATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ceramic capacitor stability down to 470 nF, integrated overtemperature shutdown, reverse-current sink protection limiting output voltage to ≤5.5 V, and operation across -40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TLE72742DATMA1 employs a charge-pump-assisted bandgap reference architecture enabling stable 5 V regulation with ultra-low quiescent current, while its internal overtemperature shutdown and output current limitation (301–800 mA) provide fault resilience in automotive transients. It accepts input voltages from 5.5 V to 42 V and maintains regulation even during cold-crank conditions.
Stability is guaranteed with ceramic output capacitors as low as 470 nF (±30% tolerance) and ESR ≤10 Ω at 10 kHz. The device integrates a dedicated output sink path to clamp reverse-current-induced voltage spikes to ≤5.5 V, protecting downstream logic without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% - ensures compatibility with 5 V microcontrollers and CAN transceivers under full automotive temperature and load range. |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA typ. - enables always-on battery-connected modules (e.g., alarm controllers, telematics backup power) with negligible parasitic drain. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250 mV typ. at 200 mA - sustains regulation during 6 V cold-crank events when input drops near 5.25 V. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - powers multiple automotive sensors, LIN transceivers, or small MCU peripherals from a single rail. |
| Stable Capacitance | 470 nF ceramic - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing board area and improving reliability. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C junction - certified for engine control units, transmission control modules, and under-dash electronics. |
| Protection Features | Overtemperature shutdown + current limiting - prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit or overload without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO252-3 (DPAK), thermally enhanced with exposed heat slug internally connected to GND. Mounting requires direct thermal connection to PCB copper pour or heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Input | High-side supply input; must be decoupled to GND with ceramic capacitor placed directly at IC pin. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground | Reference and power return; internally bonded to heat slug - requires low-impedance PCB GND plane connection. |
| 3 (Q) | Output | Regulated 5 V output; includes integrated sink path to limit reverse-current voltage to ≤5.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 20 µA typ. - extends battery life in always-on vehicle systems without compromising startup responsiveness. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | 470 nF minimum - enables compact, high-reliability filtering without ESR tuning or secondary compensation networks. |
| Reverse-current sink protection | Clamps Q-pin voltage to ≤5.5 V - eliminates need for external reverse-bias diode in dual-supply or hot-swap configurations. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C) - validated for mission-critical automotive ECUs requiring zero field failures over lifetime. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLE42744DV33 | 3.3 V fixed output; 250 mA max; same PG-TO252-3 package and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating. | Used where 3.3 V logic domains coexist with 5 V peripherals; not interchangeable without schematic revision. | Select when system requires 3.3 V core voltage with identical thermal and automotive robustness. |
| TLV73350PDBVR | 5 V output; 300 mA; 35 µA IQ; SOT-23-5 package; no reverse-current sink; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial or consumer designs needing smaller footprint but lower reliability assurance. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications outside automotive qualification scope. |
Compared with TLE42744DV33 and TLV73350PDBVR, the TLE72742DATMA1 uniquely combines 5 V output, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, reverse-current sink protection, and 470 nF ceramic stability-making it the sole option for high-reliability automotive 5 V point-of-load regulation where battery disconnection transients and thermal extremes are present.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability?
The TLE72742DATMA1 is stable with a minimum 470 nF ceramic output capacitor (±30% tolerance), verified per datasheet Table 3. This value assumes an ESR ≤10 Ω at 10 kHz. Larger values improve transient response but are not required for basic stability across the full operating temperature and load range.
Does the device require an input capacitor?
Yes - a ceramic capacitor ≥100 nF must be placed directly between the I pin and GND, as specified in the datasheet's "Pin definitions and functions" section. This minimizes high-frequency noise coupling and supports charge-pump operation during low-IQ modes, preventing instability or startup failure.
Can the TLE72742DATMA1 be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes - its wide input range (5.5–42 V), -40°C to +150°C operation, and 20 µA quiescent current make it suitable for industrial IoT gateways, battery-powered test equipment, and railway signaling systems. However, AEC-Q100 qualification adds assurance but is not required for those use cases.
How does the reverse-current sink function protect downstream devices?
The integrated sink path activates when reverse current flows into the Q pin (e.g., during battery disconnect or hot-swap), clamping the output voltage to ≤5.5 V. This prevents overvoltage damage to 5 V-tolerant logic, CAN transceivers, and ADC inputs without requiring external Schottky diodes or complex protection circuitry.
