Adjustable Shunt Regulator
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC431 is a three terminal adjustable shunt
regulator with thermal stability guaranteed over
temperature. The output voltage can be adjusted to any
value from 2.5V (V
REF
) to 30V with two external
resistors. The SC431 has a typical dynamic output
impedance of 0.25Ω. Active output circuitry provides a
very sharp turn on characteristic, making the SC431 an
excellent replacement for zener diodes.
The SC431 shunt regulator is available with four
voltage tolerances (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% over T
A
= -40
°
C
to +85
°
C and 0.5% over T
A
= -40
°
C to +125
°
C) and two
package options (SOT-23-3 and SO-8). This
allows the designer the opportunity to select the
optimum combination of cost and performance for their
application.

2) Choose the value for R as follows:
•
The maximum limit for R should be such that the
cathode current, I
Z
, is greater than the minimum
operating current (130µA) at V
IN(MIN)
.
•
The minimum limit for R should be such that I
Z
does
not exceed 150mA under all load conditions, and the
instantaneous turn-on value for I

does not exceed
200mA. Both of the following conditions must be met:
