DESCRIPTION
The LX432 series are low-voltage pre-
cision adjustable shunt regulators
with a reference voltage of 1.24V. The
output voltage may be set to any value
between 1.24V and 20V by two external
resistors.
These devices offer low output im-
pedance for improved load regula-
tion
— typical output impedance is
250mΩ. The LX432 series operates with
an operating current as low as 80µA,
making these devices suitable for por-
table and micropower applications.
Low voltage operation enables the
LX432 to be used in the feedback loop
of isolated low voltage power sup-
plies.
The minimum output voltage is
determined by the LX432 output voltage
plus the forward voltage drop of the
opto-coupler LED (typically 1.24 + 1.4 =
2.64V minimum). See Figure 10.
The LX432 is offered in 3 and 5-pin
SOT-23 or TO-92 packages, and is a drop-
in replacement for the TLV431 and
SC431L devices.
