Adjustable Precision Shunt Voltage Regulator
LM431A LM431B
Adjustable Precision Shunt Regulator
General Description
• LM431A and LM431B are three terminal adjustable precision shunt regulators With guaranteed thermal stability over a full operation temperature range.
• The output Voltage of these ICs can be set to any value between VREF (Typical 2.50V) and the corresponding maximum cathode voltage (36V) with two external resistors.
• These devices feature the sharp turn-on characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low output impedance, making them ideal substitute for Zener Diode in many applications such as switching power supply, charger and other adjustable regulators.
TO-92 (Bulk)
• LM431 precision reference Voltage tolerance is offered in 2 grades:1.0% for LM431A and 0.
