Texas Instruments TL431 adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT-23-3 package. 2.495 V to 36 V reference range, 0.5% initial accuracy.
The Texas Instruments TL431 Adjustable Precision Shunt Regulator offers 0.5% initial accuracy and an adjustable output voltage from 2.495 V to 36 V in a compact SOT-23-3 surface-mount package.
Overview
The TL431 is an adjustable shunt regulator designed to replace zener diodes in numerous circuit designs. It has a typical output impedance of 0.2 Ω and an active output circuit that produces a sharp turn-on characteristic, supporting stable voltage reference points.
Adjustable Output
The output voltage can be set to any value between a reference voltage (Vref) of approximately 2.5 V and 36 V using only two external resistors. The device supports a sink current from 1 mA to 100 mA, accommodating a range of load conditions.
Performance and Reliability
The TL431 is designed for demanding environments, with low output drift over temperature across a full operating range of -40 °C to 125 °C. Its low output noise supports clean and precise voltage regulation in sensitive applications. The device is manufactured without antimony or bromine (Sb/Br).
