4 Functional description
The TLE4278 is a monolithic integrated low-drop fixed output voltage regulator supplying loads up to 200 mA.
An input voltage VI in the range of 5.5 V ≤ VI ≤ 45 V is regulated to VQ,nom = 5 V with an accuracy of ±2%.
The device operates in the wide temperature range of Tj = -40°C to 150°C.
Two additional features are implemented in the TLE4278 a load dependent watchdog function as well as a
sophisticated reset function including power on reset, under voltage reset, adjustable reset delay time and
adjustable reset switching threshold.
The watchdog function monitors the microcontroller, including time base failures. In case of a missing rising
edge within a certain pulse repetition time the watchdog output is set to “low”. Programming of the max.
repetition time can be done easily by an external reset delay capacitor. To prevent a reset in case of missing
pulses, the watchdog output WO is separate from the reset output RO for the TLE4278. The watchdog output
can be used as an interrupt signal for the microcontroller. In any case it is possible to connect pin WO and pin
RO externally.
When the controller is set to sleep mode or low power mode its current consumption drops and no watchdog
pulses are created. In order to avoid unnecessary wake-up signals due to missing pulses at pin WI the
watchdog feature can be disabled as a function of the load current. The switch off threshold is set by an
external resistor to pin WADJ. The watchdog function can also be used as a timer, which periodically wakes up
the controller. Therefore the pin WADJ must be connected to the output Q.
The power on reset feature is necessary for a defined start of the microprocessor when switching on the
application. The reset signal at pin RO goes “high” after a certain delay timed trd when the output voltage of
the regulator has surpassed the reset threshold. The delay time is set by the external delay capacitor. An under
voltage reset circuit supervises the output voltage. In case VQ falls below the reset threshold the reset output
is set to “low” after a short reset reaction time trr. The reset “low” signal is generated down to an output
voltage VQ of 1 V. In addition the reset switching threshold can be adjusted by an external voltage divider. This
feature is useful with microprocessors which ensure a safe operation down to voltages below the internally
set reset threshold of 4.65 V typical.
