Description
The 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 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.
