NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN USE AP431S
AP431i
LOW CATHODE CURRENT ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATOR
Description
The AP431i is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with guaranteed thermal stability over a full operation range. It features sharp turn-on characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low output impedance, which makes it ideal substitute for Zener diode in applications such as switching power supply, charger and other adjustable regulators.
