Description
The LM431SA/LM431SB/LM431SC are three terminal
output adjustable regulators with thermal stability over
operating temperature range. The output voltage can be set
any value between V
REF
(approximately 2.5 volts) and 36
volts with two external resistors. These devices have a
typical dynamic output impedance of 0.2Ω Active output
circuit provides a sharp turn-on characteristic, making these
devices excellent replacement for Zener Diodes in many
applications.
