Functional Description
The TLE 4294 is a low-drop voltage regulator in a P-TO220-3-1 package or surface
mounted D-Pak (P-TO252-3-1) package. The IC regulates an input voltage up to 40 V
to stabilized 3.3 V. The maximum output current is 1000 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

Dimensioning Information on External Components

The output capacitor CQ is necessary for the stability of the regulation circuit. Stability is
guaranteed at values CQ 22 F and an ESR of 3 within the operating temperature
range.
An input capacitor CI is recommended to minimize supply noise. By using a resistor of
approx. 1 in series to an input capacitor of 100 nF and 100 F damps the oscillating
of line inductivity and input capacitance. However this is not necessary for the regulator
but common for filtering in automotive applications. Any other filtering can be used
according to the applications needs.
