Description
The AP431/AP431A are 3-terminal adjustable
precision shunt regulators with guaranteed
temperature stability over the applicable extended
commercial temperature range. The output voltage
may be set at any level greater than 2.495V(VREF)
up to 36V merely by selecting two external resistors
that act as a voltage divider network. These devices
have a typical output impedance of 0.2. Active
output circuitry provides very sharp turn-on
characteristics, making these devices excellent
improved replacements for Zener diodes in many
applications.
The precise (+/-) 1% Reference voltage tolerance of
the AP431/431A make it possible in many
applications to avoid the use of a variable resistor,
consequently saving cost and eliminating drift and
reliability problems associated with it.
