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 temperat ure range o f – 40 to 15 0 °C, the TLE 4260; S i s also s uitable
for use in automotive applications.

Circuit Description
The control amplifie r compares a reference voltage, which i s kept highly accurate by
resistance adjustment, to a voltag e t hat is proporti onal to the o utput v oltage and d rives
the base of the series transistor via a buffer. Saturat ion control as a function of the load
current prevents any over-sat uration of the power element. If the output vol tage 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
is issued on pin 2 and not cancelled again until the upper threshold V
an output current of less than I
QN Off
= 10 mA the standby changeover turns off the reset
generator. The latter is turne d on again when the output current in creases, the output
voltage drops below 4.2 V or the delay capacitor is discharged by external measures.
The IC also incorporates a number of internal circuits for protection against:
