AS431
ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATORS
Description
The AS431 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with
guaranteed thermal stability over a full operation range. It features
sharp turn-on characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low
output impedance, which make it ideal substitute for Zener diode in
applications such as switching power supply, charger and other
adjustable regulators.
The output voltage of AS431 can be set to any value between VREF
(2.5V) and the corresponding maximum cathode voltage (36V).
The AS431 precision reference is offered in two voltage tolerance:
0.5% and 1.0%.
This IC is available in 4 packages: TO-92 (bulk or ammo packing),
SOT-23, SOT-23-5 and SOT-89.
Features
Programmable Precise Output Voltage from 2.5V to 36V
High Stability under Capacitive Load
Low Temperature Deviation: 4.5mV Typical
Low Equivalent Full-range Temperature Coefficient with
20PPM/°C Typical
Sink Current Capacity from 1mA to 100mA
