What this LITIX™ buck is, and where it fits
The Infineon TLD5085EJ is a DC-DC step-down (buck) regulator from the LITIX™ series, designed for automotive and backlight applications. It integrates the switching FET internally, so the BOM stays tight — just the inductor, input/output caps, and a few passives. Switching at 370 kHz keeps the magnetics small enough for a compact PCB layout, and the PWM dimming input gives you direct LED brightness control without an external DAC.
Key ratings for the BOM decision
Input range spans 4.75 V to 45 V. Single 1.8 A output channel.
Lifecycle and sourcing
For a BOM freeze or a PCN watch, this part is currently stable — no near-term obsolescence risk.
