Description
The GS431B/TL431A/TL431 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 30V merely by
selecting two external resistors that act as a voltage divider
network. These devices have a typical output impedance of
0.08Ω. Active output circuitry provides very sharp turn-on
characteristics, making these devices excellent improved
replacements for zener diodes in many applications.
The precise ±0.5% reference voltage tolerance of the
GS431B makes 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.
• Sink Current Capability: 200mA.
• Minimum Cathode Current for Regulation: 250µA
• Equivalent Full-Range Temperature Coefficient:
50 ppm/°C
• Fast Turn-On Response
• Low Dynamic Output Impedance: 0.08Ω
• Low Output Noise

Note 1.
Deviation of reference input voltage,
∆V
REF
,
is defined as the maximum variation of the reference
input voltage over the full temperature range.
Where:
T
2
– T
1
= full temperature change.
The slope can be positive or negative depending on
whether V
MAX
or V
MIN
occurs at the lower ambient
temperature.
