Product details
Overview
TLF2931GV50 from Infineon Technologies is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 5.0 V ±2.5% output at up to 100 mA, with dropout voltage as low as 0.05 V at 10 mA and quiescent current ≤1 mA. It features reverse battery protection, overtemperature shutdown, mirror-image insertion tolerance, and operates from 6 V to 28 V input in harsh automotive environments such as body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TLF2931GV50 datasheet, TLF2931GV50 pinout, TLF2931GV50 application, or TLF2931GV50 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.05 V dropout at light load, 1 mA quiescent current for always-on systems, AEC-Q100 qualification, PG-DSO-8 thermal performance (RthJA = 96 K/W), and integrated reverse polarity protection without external components.
Technical Context
The TLF2931GV50 employs a bandgap reference and error amplifier-based control loop with saturation control and thermal sensing circuitry. Its architecture enables stable regulation under wide input voltage (6–28 V) and load (0–100 mA) variations while maintaining <0.2 V dropout at 10 mA and <0.6 V at 100 mA.
Protection functions are implemented via dedicated on-die circuits: reverse-battery detection triggers internal blocking, overtemperature shutdown activates at Tj ≥125 °C, and current limiting responds to output short-circuit conditions. Pin 4 and 5 are unconnected-no external bias or feedback required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2.5% (±125 mV) at 10 mA, ensuring stable MCU I/O supply in 5 V domains |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.05 V (typ.) at 10 mA - enables operation with only 5.05 V input, critical for cold-crank scenarios |
| Quiescent Current | ≤1 mA at 10 mA load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle networks |
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 28 V - supports 12 V automotive battery systems including load dump transients |
| Thermal Resistance | RthJA = 96 K/W - defines PCB heatsinking requirement for continuous 100 mA operation at 125 °C ambient |
| ESD Rating | ±2 kV HBM - meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements per ISO 10605 |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - validated for engine bay and cabin-mounted ECUs |
Pinout & Package
TLF2931GV50 is housed in a PG-DSO-8 surface-mount package (8-pin SOIC variant with exposed thermal pad), optimized for automotive thermal cycling and reflow compatibility. The package footprint aligns with JEDEC MS-012AC and supports standard SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Main regulated 5 V output; requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2,3,6,7 | GND | Power ground return paths; pins 2/3/6/7 form common thermal and electrical ground plane |
| 4,5 | n.c. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per design - no pull-up/down or routing allowed |
| 8 | IN | Unregulated input supply; recommended to place 100 nF decoupling capacitor close to this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands −30 V input continuously without external diode - eliminates need for series Schottky in battery feed |
| Mirror-Image Insertion Tolerance | Survives accidental 180° PCB placement - prevents field failure during manual assembly or rework |
| Low Dropout at Light Load | 0.05 V dropout at 10 mA enables direct regulation from 5.05 V sources, e.g., post-DCDC LDO stage |
| Integrated Overtemperature Shutdown | Auto-recovery thermal cutoff at Tj ≥125 °C - protects against sustained overload without latch-up |
| Green Product Compliance | RoHS-compliant materials and Pb-free terminations - satisfies EU ELV and global automotive substance restrictions |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Instrument Cluster Display |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLF2931GV33 | Fixed 3.3 V output; higher dropout (0.85 V typ. at 100 mA); identical pinout and protection features | Targets 3.3 V logic domains (e.g., microcontrollers, sensors) instead of 5 V peripherals | Select when system requires 3.3 V rail with same thermal and automotive robustness |
| NCP1117ST50T3G | Non-AEC-Q100; 1.2 V dropout at 1 A; no reverse battery protection; SOT-223 package | Lacks automotive qualification and fault protections - suitable only for non-safety-critical industrial use | Use only in cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where qualification and reverse polarity immunity are not required |
Compared with TLF2931GV50, the TLF2931GV33 offers identical automotive robustness but targets 3.3 V logic, while NCP1117ST50T3G trades qualification and protection for higher current and lower cost - making it unsuitable for automotive deployment without external safeguards.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full 100 mA load?
The TLF2931GV50 maintains regulation down to 5.6 V input at 100 mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 0.6 V. Below this, output voltage collapses linearly. Input must remain ≥6 V per functional range specification to guarantee specified performance and protection behavior.
Can pins 4 and 5 be tied to GND or left floating on the PCB?
Pins 4 and 5 are internally unconnected (n.c.) and must remain unattached - neither grounded nor routed. Connecting them risks unintended current paths or interference with internal protection circuitry. PCB layout must isolate these pads with solder mask and avoid copper traces or vias.
Does the TLF2931GV50 require an external capacitor on the IN pin?
Yes - a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between pin 8 (IN) and GND is recommended per datasheet Figure 2 layout guidance. This suppresses high-frequency noise and stabilizes input impedance during transient load steps, preventing oscillation or line-regulation degradation.
How does the mirror-image insertion protection function electrically?
Mirror-image insertion protection is implemented via symmetrical internal ESD clamp structures and bidirectional input-stage design. When pins 1 and 8 are swapped, the IC remains non-conductive rather than latching or conducting destructively - verified per AEC-Q100 stress test A11.
