The TLE 4287 G is a monolithic integrated 5 V voltage regulator in P-DSO-14-8 package. It supplies an output current IQ > 250 mA. The IC is short circuit proof and incorporates temperature protection which turns off the device at overtemperature. The input voltage VI is regulated in the range of 7.5 V < VI < 40 V to VQ,nom = 5 V. Therefore a reference voltage, which is kept highly accurate by resistance adjustment, is compared via a control amplifier to a voltage that is proportional to the output voltage. The control amplifier drives the base of the series transistor by a buffer. A comparator in the reset-generator block compares a reference voltage that is independent of the input voltage to the scaled-down output voltage. In the case of an output voltage VQ < 4.5 V the reset delay capacitor is discharged and a reset signal is generated by setting the reset output LOW. The reset delay time can be set by choosing the external capacitor over a wide range. When the output voltage rises above VQ 4.5 V the reset delay capacitor is charged again. As soon as the delay capacitor voltage reaches the upper switching threshold the reset output pin is set HIGH again. Data Sheet Version 1.3
