Overview

Part: TL431A-MS — MSKSEMI Semiconductor

Type: Adjustable Shunt Regulator

Description: Three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with Vref trimming to ±0.3% (on-wafer) and ±0.5% (packaged), adjustable output voltage from Vref (approx. 2.5V) to 36V, and sink current capability of 0.1mA to 100mA.

Operating Conditions:

  • Supply voltage: Vref–36 V
  • Operating temperature: -25 to 85 °C
  • Cathode current: 0.3–100 mA

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

  • Max cathode voltage: 40 V
  • Max continuous cathode current: 150 mA
  • Max lead temperature: 260 °C (1.6mm aside from the case, 10 seconds)

Key Specs:

  • Reference voltage (Vref): 2.475 V to 2.525 V (Typ 2.5 V) at VKA = Vref, IK = 10mA
  • Reference voltage accuracy: ±0.5% (packaged dice)
  • Dynamic output impedance: 0.1 Ω (Typ) at VKA = Vref, IK = 0.2mA to 100mA, f<1kHz
  • Minimum cathode current for regulation: 0.08 mA (Typ) to 0.5 mA (Max) at VKA = Vref
  • Off-state cathode current: 0.01 μA (Typ) to 0.9 μA (Max) at VKA = 36V, Vref = 0
  • REF input current: 0.5 μA (Typ) to 1.2 μA (Max) at IK = 10mA
  • Turn-on response time (Ton): 1.8 μs
