Functional Description
The TLE 4274 is a low-drop voltage regulator in a
TO220 package. The IC regulate s an inpu t vol tage up
to 40 V to
V
= 5.0 V (V50), 8.5 V (V85) and 10 V
Qrated
(V10). The maximum output current is 400 mA. The IC
is short-circuit proof and incorporates temperature
protection that disables the IC at over temperature.

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 incorporates a number of internal circuits for protection against:
• Overload
• Overtemperature
• Reverse polarity
