What the TLE2426CLPR does — virtual ground from a single supply
The part is built for circuits that need a split-rail reference — op-amp signal conditioning, single-supply ADC drivers, or any board where a true negative rail is absent. The output can source or sink up to 20 mA, enough to bias a handful of amplifier inputs or a reference node, but not sized for power loads. Quiescent draw is 400 µA, which keeps it in the running for always-on or battery-backed sections.
Output range and adjustment — what the 2V to 20V window means for your circuit
The minimum output is 2V and the maximum is 20V. Output tolerance is ±1%.
Package and mounting — TO-92-3 with formed leads
The TLE2426CLPR comes in a TO-226-3 / TO-92-3 package with formed leads, through-hole mount. The supplier device package is TO-92-3. The leads are formed for direct PCB insertion or socketing. No special footprint or thermal pad is needed; the part dissipates only the quiescent power plus the output current times the drop across the pass element, which is modest at 20 mA.
