Functional Description
P-TO252-3-11
The TLE 4274 is a low drop voltage regulator available in
PG-TO252-3-11
a TO220, TO252 and TO263 package. The IC regulates
an input voltage up to 40 V to VQrated = 5.0 V (V50), 8.5 V
(V85) and 10 V (V10). The maximum output current is
400 mA. The IC is short-circuit proof and incorporates
temperature protection that disables the IC at
overtemperature. A 3.3 V and 2.5 V version is also
available. For information about the low output voltage
types please refer to the data sheet TLE 4274 / 3.3 V; P-TO263-3-1
PG-TO263-3-1
2.5 V.

Dimensioning Information on External Components

The input capacitor CI is necessary for compensating line influences. Using a resistor of
approx. 1 Ω in series with CI, the oscillating of input inductivity and input capacitance can
be damped. The output capacitor CQ is necessary for the stability of the regulation circuit.
Stability is guaranteed at values CQ ≥ 22 μF and an ESR of ≤ 3 Ω within the operating
temperature range.

Circuit Description
The control amplifier compares a reference voltage 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 oversaturation of the power element. The
IC also includes a number of internal circuits for protection against:
• Overload
• Overtemperature
• Reverse polarity
