Preliminary specification

Low dropout voltage/quiescent current

10 V voltage regulator with enable

TDA3676

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The TDA3676 is a fixed 10 V regulator which can deliver

output currents up to 100 mA. The regulator is available in

an SO8 package with fused centre pins connected to the

lead frame. The regulator is intended for portable, mains,

telephone and automotive applications. To increase the

lifetime of batteries, a specially built-in clamp circuit keeps

the quiescent current of this regulator very low, also in

dropout and full load conditions.

The regulator remains operating down to very low supply

voltages and below this voltage it switches off.

A temperature protection circuit is included, which

switches off the regulator output at a junction temperature

above 150

°C.

A new output circuit guarantees the stability of the

regulator for a capacitor output circuit with an ESR up to

20

Ω. If only a 100 nF capacitor is used, the regulator is

the ESR of an electrolytic capacitor increases strongly at

low temperatures (no expensive tantalum capacitor is

required).

LIMITING VALUES

In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
