Description

The TPL8601Q is a series of low-dropout linear regulators

with 150-mA maximum output current capability. The

TPL8601Q series supports an operating voltage range

from 3.5 V to 42 V (−40 V to 45 V maximum operating

voltage range). Operating with as low as 3.5 V allows the

TPL8601Q to continue to work well during cold-crank and

start-stop conditions.

The TPL8601Q supports an output capacitor range from 1

μF to 100 μF with an ESR range from 0.001 Ω to 5 Ω.

The TPL8601Q integrates full protection with input

reverse polarity protection, output short-circuits to ground

protection, output short-circuits to battery protection,

inductive clamp at the OUT pin, over-current protection,

and over-temperature protection.

With all the above features, the TPL8601Q series is

especially suitable for the off-board power supply through

a long cable away from the main board in different

automotive and industrial systems.

The TPL8601Q series provides a thermal-enhanced

ESOP8 package to enable sustained operation despite

significant dissipation across the device. The TPL8601Q

series is guaranteed to operate with an ambient

temperature range from −40°C to +125°C.
