The TLE4284DV is a monolithic integrated NPN type Voltage Regulator that can supply loads up to 1A. It is designed to supply microprocessor systems or other loads under the severe conditions of automotive applications and therefore it is equipped with additional protection against overload, short circuit and overtemperature. An input voltage VI in the range of <VI <40V is regulated to VQ. The dropout voltage VDR ranges from 1.1 to 1.4V depending on the load current level.
