Functional Description
TLE 4266 G is a 5 V low-drop voltage regulator in a P-SOT223-4-2 SMD package. The
IC regulates an input voltage
in the range of 5.5 V < Vi < 45 V to V
i
= 5 V. The
Qrated
V
maximum output current is more than 120 mA. The IC can be switched off via the inhibit
input, which causes the current consumption to drop below 10 µA. The IC is shortcircuitproof and incorporates temperature protection that disables the IC an overtemperature.

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 oversaturation of the power element. The IC also incorporates a
number of internal circuits for protection against:
● Overload,
● Overtemperature,
● Reverse polarity.
