Very low dropout voltage/quiescent current
5 V regulator with overvoltage switch off
Preliminary specification
TDA3668AT
FEATURES
• Fixed 5 V, 100 mA regulator
• Supply voltage range up to 50 V
• Very low quiescent current of 15 µA (typical value)
• Very low dropout voltage
• High ripple rejection
• Very high stability
– Electrolytic capacitors: Equivalent Series Resistance
(ESR) < 38 Ω at IREG ≤ 25 mA
– Other capacitors: 100 nF at 200 µA ≤ IREG ≤ 100 mA.
• Pin compatible family TDA3661 to TDA3676
• Protections:
– Reverse polarity safe (down to −25 V without high
reverse current)
– Negative transient of 50 V (RS = 10 Ω, t < 100 ms)
– Able to withstand voltages up to 18 V at the output
(supply line may be short-circuited)
– ESD protected for all pins
– DC short-circuit safe to ground and VP of regulator
output
– Temperature protection at Tj > 150 °C
– Load dump protection, which will switch off VREG
during load dump.
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 ≤ Tamb ≤ +125 °C,
and it is available as an automotive version in an
SO8 package.
