The input voltage range of 3 V to 40 V and a very low quiescent current of 20 μA make it the perfect match for automotive or other supply systems connected to the battery permanently. The new loop concept combines fast regulation and very high stability. Below an output current of 100 mA the typical dropout voltage is below 120 mV. The operating range starts at an input voltage of only 3 V (extended operating range). This makes the TLS850B0TEV33 suitable for automotive systems that need to operate during cranking condition. The device can be switched on and off by the Enable feature. Internal protection features such as output current limitation and overtemperature shutdown protect the device from immediate damage due to failures such as output shorted to GND, overcurrent and overtemperature.
