3 Description

The TPS7B4260-Q1 is a monolithic, integrated, lowdropout

(LDO) voltage tracker. The device is available

in an 8-pin HSOIC package. The TPS7B4260-Q1

is designed to provide power supply to off-board

sensors in an automotive environment. The high

300mA current rating of the device potentially allows

a single device to power multiple off-board sensors

simulataneously. Because the risk of failure in cables

that deliver off-board power is high, the device

comes with integrated protection features against fault

conditions such as short to battery, reverse polarity,

output short to ground, and overtemperature. The

device incorporates a topology containing two backto-

back P-channel metal-oxide semiconductor fieldeffect

transistors (MOSFETs). This PMOS topology

eliminates the need for an external diode that

is otherwise required to help protect against fault

conditions that result in flow of reverse current.

The device is designed to handle a 45V (absolute

maximum) input voltage and survive the automotive

load dump transient conditions.
