Specified thermal stability with adjustable shunt regulators

These devices have a typical output impedance of 0.2Ω. Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic, making these devices excellent replacements for Zener diodes in many applications, such as onboard regulation, adjustable power supplies, and switching power supplies. The TL432 device has exactly the same functionality and electrical specifications as the TL431 device, but has different pinouts for the DBV, DBZ, and PK packages.

Both the TL431 and TL432 devices are offered in three grades, with initial tolerances (at 25°C) of 0.5%, one, and two percent, for the B, A, and standard grade, respectively. In addition, low output drift versus temperature ensures good stability over the entire temperature range.

The TL43xxC devices are characterised for operation from 0°C to 70°C, the TL43xxI devices are characterised for operation from -40°C to +85°C, and the TL43xxQ devices are characterised for operation from -40°C to +125°C.
