Linear Regulators and Trackers Protection Circuits (English)

Infineon automotive linear voltage regulators and trackers contain protection circuits to prevent the IC from destruction in case of possible catastrophic events. These safeguards comprise • output current limitation • overvoltage protection • reverse polarity protection • thermal shutdown in case of overtemperature. However, dependent on silicon technology and pass element selection, different circuitry is implemented. The following explains these protection features and their impact to the application circuit.
