description
The TL431 and TL431A are three-terminal
adjustable shunt regulators with specified thermal
stability over applicable automotive, commercial,
and military temperature ranges. The output
voltage can be set to any value between Vref
(approximately 2.5 V) and 36 V, with two external
resistors (see Figure 17). These devices have a
typical output impedance of 0.2 Ω. 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 TL431C and TL431AC are characterized for
operation from 0°C to 70°C, and the TL431I and
TL431AI are characterized for operation from
–40°C to 85°C.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

†Stresses beyond 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-rated conditions for extended periods may af fect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Voltage values are with respect to the anode terminal unless otherwise noted.
2. Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable
ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

The deviation parameters Vref(dev) and Iref(dev) are defined as the differences between the maximum and minimum
values obtained over the recommended temperature range. The average full-range temperature coefficient of the
reference voltage, αVref, is defined as:
where:
∆TA is the recommended operating free-air temperature range of the device.
αVref can be positive or negative, depending on whether minimum Vref or maximum Vref, respectively , occurs at the
lower temperature.
Example: maximum Vref = 2496 mV at 30°C, minimum Vref = 2492 mV at 0°C, Vref = 2495 mV at 25°C,
∆TA = 70°C for TL431C
Because minimum Vref occurs at the lower temperature, the coefficient is positive.
Calculating Dynamic Impedance
The dynamic impedance is defined as:
When the device is operating with two external resistors (see Figure 3), the total dynamic impedance of the circuit
is given by:

TL431, Adjustable Precision Shunt Regulator
DEVICE STATUS: ACTIVE
lEquivalent Full-Range Temperature Coefficient...30 ppm/°C
l0.2- Typical Output Impedance
lSink-Current Capability...1 mA to 100 mA
lLow Output Noise
lAdjustable Output Voltage...Vref to 36 V
lAvailable in a Wide Range of High-Density Packages
The TL431 and TL431A are three-terminal adjustable shunt regulators with specified thermal
stability over applicable automotive, commercial, and military temperature ranges. The output
voltage can be set to any value between Vref (approximately 2.5 V) and 36 V, with two
external resistors (see Figure 17). These devices have a typical output impedance of 0.2 .
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 TL431C and TL431AC are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, and the TL431I
