Description
The LM431SA/LM431SB/LM431SC are three term inal
output adjustable regulators with thermal stability over
operating temperature range. The output voltage can be set
any value between VREF (approximately 2.5 volts) and 36
volts with two external resistors. These devices have a
typical dynamic output impedance of 0.2 Active output
circuit provides a sharp turn -on characteristic, making these
devices excellent replacement for Zener Diodes in many
applications.
