General Description
The APL431 is a 3-terminal adjustable voltage reference
with specified thermal stability over applicable commer-
cial temperature ranges. Output voltage may be set to any
value between V
REF
(2.5 V) and 20 V with two external
resistors (See Figure 2). When used with an photocoupler,
the APL431 is an ideal voltage reference in isolated feed-
back circuits for 2.5V to 12V switching-mode power
supplies. This device has a typical output impedance of
0.1Ω. Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on
characteristic, making the APL431 excellent replacements
for zener diodes in many applications, including on-board
regulation and adjustable power supplies.

Note: ANPEC lead-free products contain molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish; which
are fully compliant with RoHS. ANPEC lead-free products meet or exceed the lead-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C for
MSL classification at lead-free peak reflow temperature. ANPEC defines “Green” to mean lead-free (RoHS compliant) and halogen
free (Br or Cl does not exceed 900ppm by weight in homogeneous material and total of Br and Cl does not exceed 1500ppm by
weight).

Notes for Typical Application Circuits:
1) For the series regulator applications, add a compensation capacitor C1 between CATHODE and REF is
strongly recommended to improve the stability of output voltage .
2) Set V
O
according to the following equation: V
O
= V
REF
(1+R1/R2)+l
REF
xR1
3) Choose the value for R
B
as below:
A) The maximum limit for R
B
should be such that the cathode current (l
K
) is greater than the minimum
operating current (0.5mA) at V
IN(MIN)
.
B) The minimum limit for R
B
should be such that the cathode current (l
K
) does not exceed 100mA under all
load conditions, and the instantaneous turn-on value for l
K
does not exceed 120mA.
