ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATORS
General Description
The AS431 series ICs are three-terminal adjustable
shunt regulators with guaranteed thermal stability over
a full operation range. These ICs feature sharp turn-on
characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low
output impedance, which make them ideal substitutes
for Zener diodes in applications such as switching
power supply, charger and other adjustable regulators.
The output voltage of these ICs can be set to any value
between V
REF
(2.5V) and the maximum cathode volt-
age (36V).
The AS431 precision reference is offered in two band-
gap tolerance: 0.4% and 0.8%.
These ICs are available in 4 Packages: TO-92, SOT-23-
3, SOT-23-5 and SOT-89 .

Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the
device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond
those indicated under "Recommended Operating Conditions" is not implied. Exposure to "Absolute Maximum
Ratings" for extended periods may affect device reliability.
