TL431 - Voltage Reference

TL431 - Voltage Reference

Discontinued

The TL431 is a three-terminal programmable shunt regulator diode. This monolithic IC voltage reference operates as a low-temperature-coefficient zener, programmable from Vref (2.5 V) to 36 V with two external resistors. With a wide operating current range and low dynamic impedance, it serves as an excellent replacement for zener diodes in power supplies, voltage references, and op-amp circuits.

Key Features

  • Programmable Output – Adjustable from 2.5 V to 36 V with two external resistors
  • Low Dynamic Impedance – 0.22 Ω typical for stable regulation
  • Wide Current Range – 1.0 mA to 100 mA sink capability
  • Low Temperature Coefficient – 50 ppm/°C typical across full operating range
  • Versatile – Usable as positive or negative voltage reference (shunt regulator)
  • Low Output Noise – Clean reference voltage for precision circuits

Specifications

  • Part Number – TL431
  • Reference Voltage – 2.5 V (programmable up to 36 V)
  • Tolerance – ±0.4% typical at 25 °C (TL431B)
  • Dynamic Impedance – 0.22 Ω typical
