SE431
Description
The SE431 is a low voltage three terminal
adjustable shunt regulator with a guaranteed thermal
stability over applicable temperature ranges. The output
voltage can be set to any value between V
REF
(approximately 2.5 V) to 18V with two external resistors.
This device has a typical output impedance of 0.2Ω.
Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn on
characteristic, making this device excellent replacement
for Zener diodes in many applications.
The SE431 is characterized for operation from 0
o
C
to 105
o
C, and five package options (SOT-23-3, SOT-23-5,
SOP-8, TO-92 and SOT-89) allow the designer the
opportunity to select the proper package for their
applications.
Adjustable output voltage V
0
= V
REF
to 18V
Wide operating current range 120µA to 100mA
Low dynamic output impedance 0.2Ω (Typ.).
Trimmed bandgap design up to + 0.5%.
ESD rating is 5.5KV(Per MIL-STD-883D).
Available in Lead Free Packages.
