GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA3668AT is a fixed 5 V voltage regulator with a
very low dropout voltage and quiescent current, which
operates over a wide supply voltage range.
The regulator should use a supply voltage of VP≤ 50 V.
It has a temperature range of −40 °C ≤ T
and it is available as an automotive version in an
SO8 package.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA3668AT is a fixed 5 V regulator which can deliver
output currents up to 100 mA. The regulator is available in
an SO8 package. The regulator is intended for portable,
mains, telephone and automotive applications.
To increase the lifetime of batteries, a specially built-in
clamp circuit keeps the quiescent current of this regulator
very low, also in dropout and full load conditions.
Theregulatorremains operational down to very low supply
voltages and at lower voltages it switches off.
A temperature protection circuit is included, which
switches off the regulator output at a junction temperature
above 150 °C.
A new output circuit guarantees the stability of the
regulator for a capacitor output circuit with an ESR up to
38 Ω. This is very attractive as the ESR of an electrolytic
capacitor increases strongly at low temperatures
(no expensive tantalum capacitor is required).
