3 Description

The TL720M05-Q1 is a low-dropout linear regulator

designed to connect to the battery in automotive

applications. The device has an input voltage range

extending to 40V (new chip). This range allows

the device to withstand transients (such as load

dumps) that are anticipated in automotive systems.

With only a 17μA quiescent current at light loads,

the device is designed for powering always-on

components. Examples of such components are

microcontrollers (MCUs) and controller area network

(CAN) transceivers in standby systems.

The device (new chip) has a state-of-the-art transient

response that allows the output to quickly react to

changes in load or line. For example, during coldcrank

conditions. Additionally, the device has a novel

architecture that minimizes output overshoot when

recovering from dropout. During normal operation, the

device has a tight DC accuracy of ±1.15 over line,

load, and temperature (new chip).

The device also incorporates a number of

internal circuits for protection against overload and

overtemperature. The legacy chip also provides

protection against reverse polarity.

The TL720M05-Q1 is available in thermally

conductive packaging to allow the device to efficiently

transfer heat to the circuit board.
