General Description
TS4268 is a low dropout voltage regulator. The maximum input voltage is 45 V. It can deliver an output current of at
least 180mA. TS4268 is short circuit proof and features temperature protection that disables the circuit in the event of
impermissibly high temperatures. The watchdog function is disabled as a function of the load, so that a controller is not
interrupted during sleep mode by a watchdog reset.
Application Description
TS4268 regulates an input voltage in the range 5.5V ~ 45V. In the event of an output voltage Vout < V
RT
,
a
reset signal
is generated. The wiring of the reset switching threshold input enables the value of V
RT
to be reduced. The reset delay
time can be adjusted using an external capacitor. The integrated watchdog monitors the connected active controller. If
there is no positive going edge at the watchdog input, the reset output is set to low. The reset delay capacitor provides
a wide adjustment range for the pulse repetition time. The watchdog function is only activated if the load exceeds 8mA.
This ensures that a microcontroller is not activated during power-down and the current drain is not increased.

180mA Ultra Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
with Reset & Watchdog Function
Circuit Description
The control amplifier compares a reference voltage, which is kept highly accurate by resistance adjustment, to a
voltage that is proportional to the output voltage and drives the base of the series transistor via a buffer. Saturation
control as a function of the load current prevents any over-saturation of the power element. If the externally scaled
down output voltage at the reset threshold input drops below 1.35V, the external reset delay capacitor is discharged by
the reset generator. If the voltage on the capacitor reaches the lower threshold V
ST
, a reset signal is generated on the
reset output and not cancelled again until the upper threshold voltage is exceeded. If the reset threshold input is
connected to GND, reset is triggered at an output voltage of 4.5V. A connected microcontroller is monitored by the
watchdog logic. If pulses are missing, the rest output is set to low. The pulse sequence time can be set within a wide
range with the reset delay capacitor. TS4268 is also incorporates a member of internal circuits for protection against:

• Reverse polarity

Operation at up to the maximum junction temperature of 150°C is possible in principle. Note, however, operation at the
maximum permitted rating could be affected the reliability of the device.

The power-on reset delay time is defined by charging time of an external capacitor C

D
for reset delay time
The reset reaction time trr is the time it takes the voltage regulator to set the reset out LOW after the output voltage has
dropped below the reset threshold. It is typically 1uS for delay capacitor of 47nF. For other values for C
D
the reaction
time can be estimated using the following equation:
