3 Description
The TLVH431 and TLVH432 devices are lowvoltage
3-terminal adjustable voltage references, with
specified thermal stability over applicable industrial
and commercial temperature ranges. Output voltage
can be set to any value between VREF (1.24V)
and 18V with two external resistors (see Figure
6-2). These devices operate from a lower voltage
(1.24V) than the widely used TL431 and TL1431
shunt-regulator references.
When used with an optocoupler, the TLVH431
and TLVH432 devices are an excellent choice for
voltage references in isolated feedback circuits for
3V to 3.3V switching-mode power supplies. The
devices have a typical output impedance of 0.25Ω.
Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on
characteristic, making the TLVH431 and TLVH432
devices excellent replacements for low-voltage Zener
diodes in many applications, including on-board
regulation and adjustable power supplies.
The TLVH432 device is identical to the TLVH431
device, but is offered with different pinouts for the
3-pin SOT-23 and SOT-89 packages.
