Functional Description
TLE 4260; S is a 5-V low-drop fixed-voltage regulator in a P-TO220-5-H/S package. The
maximum input voltage is 42 V (65 V/
≤
400 ms). The device can produce an output
current of more than 500 mA. It is shortcircuit-proof and incorporates temperature
protection that disables the circuit at unpermissibly high temperatures.
Due to the wide temperature range of – 40 to 150
°C,
the TLE 4260; S is also suitable
for use in automotive applications.
The IC regulates an input voltage
V
I
in the range 6 <
V
I
< 35 V to
V
Qnominal
= 5.0 V. A reset
signal is generated for an output voltage of
V
Q
< 4.75 V. The reset delay can be set
externally with a capacitor. If the output current is reduced below 10 mA, the regulator
switches internally to standby and the reset generator is turned off. The standby current
drops to max. 700
µA.

Circuit Description
The control amplifier compares a reference voltage, which is kept highly accurate by
resistance adjustment, to a voltage that is proportional to the output voltage and drives
the base of the series transistor via a buffer. Saturation control as a function of the load
current prevents any over-saturation of the power element. If the output voltage goes
below 96% of its typical value, an external capacitor is discharged on pin 4 by the reset
generator. If the voltage on the capacitor reaches the lower threshold
V
ST
, a reset signal
is issued on pin 2 and not cancelled again until the upper threshold
V
DT
is exceeded. For
an output current of less than
I
QN Off
= 10 mA the standby changeover turns off the reset
generator. The latter is turned on again when the output current increases, the output
voltage drops below 4.2 V or the delay capacitor is discharged by external measures.
