Description
The TLF4277-2 is the ideal companion IC to supply active antennas for car infotainment applications. The
adjustable output voltage makes the TLF4277-2 capable of supplying the majority of standard active antennas
such as:
•
FM/AM
•
DAB
•
XM
•
SIRIUS
The TLF4277-2 is a monolithic integrated low drop out voltage regulator capable of supplying loads up to 300 mA.
For an input voltage up to 40 V the TLF4277-2 provides an adjustable output voltage in a range from 5 V up to
12 V. The integrated current monitor function is a unique feature that provides diagnosis and system protection
functionality. Fault conditions such as overtemperature and output overvoltage are monitored and indicated at the
current sense output. The maximum output current limit of the device is adjustable to provide additional protection
to the connected load.
Via the enable function the IC can be disabled to lower the power consumption. The PG-SSOP14 EP package
provides an enhanced thermal performance within a SO8 body size.

Voltage Regulator

Description Voltage Regulator
The output voltage VQ is controlled by comparing the feedback voltage (VADJ) to an internal reference voltage and
driving a PNP pass transistor accordingly. The control loop stability depends on the output capacitor CQ, the output
capacitor ESR, the load current and the chip temperature. To ensure stable operation, the output capacitor’s
capacitance and its equivalent series resistor ESR requirements given in the Table 2 “Functional Range” on
Page 7 have to be maintained. For stability details please refer to the typical performance graph “Output Capacitor
Series Resistivity ESRCQ” on Page 11. In addition the output capacitor may need to be sized larger to buffer load
transients.
An input capacitor CI is not needed for the control loop stability, but recommended to buffer line influences.
Connect the capacitors close to the IC terminals. In general a buffered supply voltage is recommended for the
device. For details see Chapter 9.1.
Protection circuitry prevents the IC as well as the application from destruction in case of catastrophic events. The
integrated safeguards consist of output current limitation, reverse polarity protection as well as thermal shutdown
in case of overtemperature.
In order to avoid excessive power dissipation that could never be handled by the pass element and the package,
an integrated safe operation monitor lowers the maximum output current input voltages above VBAT = 22 V.
The thermal shutdown circuit prevents the IC from immediate destruction under fault conditions (e.g. output
continuously short-circuited) by switching off the power stage. After the chip has cooled down, the regulator
restarts. This leads to a cycling behavior of the output voltage until the fault is removed. However, junction
temperatures above 150 °C are outside the maximum ratings and therefore significantly reduce the IC lifetime.
The TLF4277-2 allows a negative supply voltage. However, several small currents are flowing into the IC
increasing its junction temperature. This reverse current has to be considered for the thermal design, respecting
that the thermal protection circuit is not operating during reverse polarity condition.

Application Information for setting the variable output voltage
The output voltage of the TLF4277-2 can be adjusted between 5 V and 12 V by an external output voltage devider,
closing the control loop to the voltage adjust pin ADJ.
The voltage at pin ADJ is compared to the internal reference of typical 1.19 V in an error amplifier. It controls the
output voltage.

Application Detail External Components at Output for Variable Voltage Regulator
The output voltage is calculated according to Equation (1):
VQ = (R1 + R2)/R2 x VREF,int, neglecting IADJ
(1)
VREF,int is typically 1.19 V.
To avoid errors caused by leakage current IADJ, we recommend to choose the resistor value for R2 < 27 kΩ.
The accuracy of the resistors for the external voltage divider can lead to a higher tolerance of the output voltage.
To achieve a reasonable accuracy resistors with a tolerance of 1% or lower are recommended for the feedback
divider.

Current and Protection Monitor Functions
7.1
Functional Description Current and Protection Monitors
The TLF4277-2 provides a set of advanced monitor functionality. The current flowing out of the power stage can
be monitored at the CSO output. In addition the current limitation can be adjusted via external resistor. Events of
the implemented protection functions are reported through dedicated voltage levels at the CSO output. This
information can be processed by an external µC for system analysis and failure identification. The monitored
events are over-current, overvoltage, and temperature shutdown. In addition all three fault conditions are routed
also to the digital output pin ST.

Block diagram current and protection monitor
To reduce possible effects from the supply voltage VBAT additional filtering of the supply voltage is recommended.
A 100 nF capacitor should be placed as close a possible to the IC terminal, which is connected to VBAT.
Figure 6 shows the output level at the CSO pin versus the operation or fault condition. The graph is valid for the
following set up of external components:
CCSO = 2.2 µF
RCSO = 1.5 kΩ
Note: In case of high input voltage (VI > 20 V), high junction temperature (Tj > 151°C) and CSO pin is directly
connected to GND without resistor, the return to normal operation from the “thermal shutdown mode” can‘t
be ensured.

7.1.1
Linear Current Monitor
Inside the linear current monitor area the current driven out of the CSO pin is direct proportional to the output
current (IQ).
The level of the current ICSO can be calculated according to Equation (2):

7.1.2
Adjustable Output Current Limitation
The TLF4277-2 has an adjustable current limitation for the current flowing out of the power stage. If the level of
the output current exceeds the defined current limit threshold (IQ,lim), the output current of the TLF4277-2 will be
limited.
Setting of the adjustable current limitation:
(3)
IQ,lim =
2.55V × FIQ/ICSO
RCSO
A voltage level as defined in “CSO Voltage Level” on Page 17 will be applied at the CSO pin. In addition the ST
pin will be set low.
Note: During power up of the device, the regulator works in output current limitation. Regardless if the output
current is limited by the protection function according to “Output Current Limitation” on Page 9, or by the
adjustable output current limitation according to “Adjustable Current Limit” on Page 17. If an adjustable
current limit is set, the status output pin ST is set to low as long as the adjustable current limitation is active
during power up sequence.
Example: To achieve a current limitation of e.g. 170mA the following configuration can be used:
IQ,lim =
2.55V × 100
1.5kΩ
= 170mA
FIQ/ICSO = 100
RCSO = 1.5 kΩ
7.1.3
Overvoltage Detection
To detect a possible short circuit of the output to a higher supply rail the TLF4277-2 has an overvoltage detection
implemented. An overvoltage will be detected, if the voltage level at the ADJ pin is 20% higher than the internal
reference voltage VREF,int defined in “Reference Voltage” on Page 9.
In case of overvoltage the CSO pin will set to a voltage level as defined in “CSO Voltage Level” on Page 17. In
addition the ST pin will be set low.
7.1.4
Thermal Shutdown Detection
If the junction temperature will exceed the limits defined in the “Overtemperature Shutdown Threshold” on
Page 9 the TLF4277-2 will disable the output voltage. In this case a voltage level as defined in “CSO Voltage
Level” on Page 17 will be applied at the CSO pin. In addition the ST pin will be set low.
7.1.5
Status Output Signal
The status condition pin ST is an open collector output. An external pull-up resistor has to be applied for
functionality and to limit the current into the pin (e.g. connect via a resistor to “Q”). Connecting the ST pin directly
to a supply voltage may damage the device.
Is one or more of the monitored protection functions (over-current, overvoltage and temperature shutdown)
activated, the digital Status Output pin ST is set to “low”.

Enable Function

Description Enable Function
The TLF4277-2 can be turned on or turned off via the EN Input. With voltage levels higher than VEN,high applied to
the EN Input the device will be completely turned on. A voltage level lower than VEN,low sets the device to low
quiescent current mode. In this condition the device is turned off and is not functional. The Enable Input has a build
in hysteresis to avoid toggling between ON/OFF state, if signals with slow slope are applied to the input. Enable
input pin has an internal pull down resistor.
