The TLE4296-2G V50 is a 5V fixed output low-dropout (LDO) Linear Regulator. The device is designed to supply e.g. microprocessor systems under the severe conditions of automotive applications. Therefore the device is equipped with additional protection functions against overload, short circuit and reverse polarity. At overtemperature the regulator is automatically turned off by the integrated thermal protection circuit. The output is able to drive a load of more than 30mA while it regulates the output voltage within a 4% accuracy. To save energy the device can be switched in stand-by mode via an inhibit input which causes the current consumption to drop below 5μA.
