DESCRIPTION
The TL431 and TL431A are 3-terminal adjustable shunt regulators
with specified thermal stability over applicable automotive and
commercial temperature ranges. The output voltage may be set to
any value between VREF (approximately 2.5 V) and 36 V with two
external resistors (see Figure 4). 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 like on-board
regulation, adjustable power supplies and switching power supplies.
The TL431C and TL431AC are characterized for operation from
0 °C to +70 °C; the TL431I and TL431AI are characterized for
operation from –40 °C to +85 °C.
FEATURES
Equivalent full-range temperature coefficient: 30 ppm/°C
0.2 typical output impedance
Sink current capability: 1 mA to 100 mA
Low output noise
Adjustable output voltage: VREF to 36 V

NOTES:
1. Full temperature range is –40 °C to +85 °C for the TL431I and TL431AI, and 0 °C to +70 °C for the TL431C and TL431AC.
2. The deviation parameters VREF(dev) and IREF(dev) are defined as the differences between the maximum and minimum values obtained over
the rated termperature range. The average full-range temperature coefficient of the reference input voltage, αVREF, is defined as:
|aVREF |ǒppm
degCǓ+ǒVREF(dev)
VREF at 25oCǓ@106
DTamb VREF(dev)
Max VREF
Min VREF
Tamb
where Tamb is the rated operating free-air temperature range of the device.

αVREF can be positive or negative depending on whether minimum VREF of maximum VREF, respectively, occurs at the lower temperature.
Example: Max VREF = 2496 mV at 30 °C, Min VREF = 2492 mV at 0 °C, VREF = 2495 mV at 25 °C, DTA = 70 °C for TL431C.
|aVREF |+ǒ4mV

Because minimum VREF occurs at the lower temperature, the coefficient is positive.
