General Description
The AP431 and AP431A are 3-terminal adjustable precision shunt
regulators with guaranteed temperature stability over the
applicable extended commercial temperature range. The output
voltage may be set at any level greater than 2.495V (V
REF
) up to
36V merely by selecting two external resistors that act as a
voltage divider network. These devices have a typical output
impedance of 0.2Ω. Active output circuitry provides very sharp
turn-on characteristics, making these devices excellent improved
replacements for Zener diodes in many applications.
The precise (+/-) 1% Reference voltage tolerance of the
AP431/AP431A make it possible in many applications to avoid
the use of a variable resistor, consequently saving cost and
eliminating drift and reliability problems associated with it.
