Infineon has introduced six automotive linear regulators, protected against 40 or 45V, and supplying 3.3 or 5V at up 500mA, some with enable, watchdog or reset circuits (see the table below). Picking the TLS820F3ELV50 as an example, it has an input range of 3 to 42V (45V abs max) and outputs 5V ±2% at up to 200mA. “These regulators are ...
