Product details
Overview
TLE7276D from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic 5 V ±2% fixed-output low-drop linear voltage regulator for automotive load currents up to 300 mA, featuring ultra-low quiescent current (20 μA typ.), inhibit control input, short-circuit protection, and operation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 470 nF. It regulates input voltages from 5.5 V to 42 V and is qualified for under-hood automotive environments.
For engineers reviewing the TLE7276D datasheet, TLE7276D pinout, TLE7276D application, or TLE7276D equivalent, key selection considerations include its 250 mV typical drop voltage at 200 mA, thermal shutdown behavior, inhibit logic thresholds (VINH_ON = 3.1 V), reverse-current sink capability (VQ ≤ 5.5 V), and compatibility with ceramic output caps in space-constrained ECUs.
Technical Context
The TLE7276D integrates a charge pump-based bandgap reference and internal overtemperature shutdown circuitry, enabling stable regulation across −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its inhibit input features an integrated pull-down resistor and supports active-low disable with <1 μA leakage in shutdown mode.
It delivers regulated 5 V output with ±2% accuracy over 0.1–300 mA load and 6–40 V input range, while maintaining PSRR of 60 dB at 100 Hz. The device's output sink path clamps reverse current to limit Q-pin voltage to ≤5.5 V, protecting downstream components during battery reversal or load dump transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% - ensures microcontroller I/O and sensor biasing remain within TTL/CMOS logic thresholds across temperature and load. |
| Drop Voltage | 250 mV typ. at 200 mA - enables regulation from 5.5 V input, critical for cold-crank operation in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 20 μA typ. - allows permanent VBAT connection without excessive battery drain in always-on modules (e.g., alarm controllers). |
| Output Current Limit | 320 mA min. - provides robust short-circuit protection while sustaining 300 mA continuous load for body control units. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 42 V - accommodates 12 V system transients including load dump (up to 40 V) and cold-crank dips. |
| Output Capacitor | ≥470 nF ceramic (ESR < 3 Ω) - eliminates need for large tantalum/electrolytic caps, reducing PCB area and improving reliability. |
| Inhibit Threshold | VINH_ON ≥ 3.1 V, VINH_OFF ≤ 0.8 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V/5 V GPIOs for MCU-controlled power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: P-TO252-5-1 (D-PAK, 5-pin, exposed tab for thermal conduction). Pin 3 (GND) and the exposed tab are internally connected to system ground and serve as primary heat dissipation path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I) | Input Supply | Connects directly to battery rail via local 100 nF ceramic capacitor; requires low-inductance layout to suppress line noise. |
| 2 (INH) | Inhibit Control | Active-low enable; internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state during MCU boot or reset. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path and thermal interface; must be soldered to large copper pour for Rthj-a ≤ 80 K/W. |
| 4 (N.C.) | No Connection | Unbonded pad; electrically isolated and must not be connected to any net. |
| 5 (Q) | Regulated Output | Delivers 5 V to loads; requires ≥470 nF ceramic cap and optional 4.7 µF electrolytic for transient surge suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse-current sink protection | Clamps Q-pin voltage to ≤5.5 V during reverse-battery or inductive kickback, eliminating need for external blocking diode. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 5–9 μA in inhibited state enables >10-year battery life in always-connected telematics modules. |
| Stable with minimal output capacitance | Guaranteed stability with 470 nF ceramic cap (ESR < 3 Ω), reducing BOM cost and board space vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥10 µF. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at ~150 °C junction temperature and auto-recovers after cooldown, preventing latch-up during sustained overload. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), compliant with ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b for load dump immunity. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 5 V automotive LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73350PDBVR | Lower IQ (4.5 μA), but max input 6.5 V and no inhibit pin; rated only to 125 °C junction. | Not suitable for 12 V load-dump or under-hood use; limited to infotainment head units with clean 5 V input. | Select only if input stays ≤6.5 V and thermal environment is controlled. |
| TPS7B6750QPWPRQ1 | Higher IQ (45 μA), 40 V max input, integrated watchdog timer, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C). | Supports higher ambient temps and adds safety monitoring; lacks reverse-current sink on output. | Prefer when functional safety (ASIL-B) monitoring is required, and external reverse-protection diode is acceptable. |
Compared with TLV73350PDBVR and TPS7B6750QPWPRQ1, the TLE7276D uniquely combines 42 V input tolerance, 20 μA quiescent current, inhibit control, and reverse-current sink in a single AEC-Q100 Grade 1 package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding, always-on automotive subsystems without added safety overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for continuous operation?
The TLE7276D supports continuous operation up to 42 V input, validated per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) testing. Absolute maximum rating is 45 V for ≤10 seconds; sustained exposure above 42 V risks thermal runaway or accelerated parametric drift even if within absolute limits.
Can the TLE7276D operate without an output capacitor?
No. A minimum 470 nF ceramic output capacitor with ESR < 3 Ω is mandatory for loop stability. Omitting it causes oscillation and unregulated output voltage collapse under load. An additional 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitor is recommended for transient surge suppression but not required for basic regulation.
How does the inhibit function behave during power-up?
The INH pin has an internal pull-down resistor (~100 kΩ), ensuring the device remains disabled until the MCU or system controller actively drives INH ≥3.1 V. This prevents unintended power-on during brown-out or reset conditions, supporting fail-safe boot sequencing in automotive ECUs.
Is the exposed tab electrically isolated from other pins?
No. The exposed tab is internally connected to Pin 3 (GND) and serves as both the primary thermal path and electrical ground reference. It must be soldered to a grounded copper pour; isolation or floating mounting violates thermal and electrical specifications and voids AEC-Q100 compliance.
