IRU431L / IRU431AL
LOW -VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE PRECISION
SHUNT REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The IRU431L family are three-terminal adjustable shunt
regulators that can also be used as precision voltage
references. Its output voltage may be set to any value
between V
REF
(1.24V) and 15V with two external resis-
tors as shown in the typical application circuit. Other
applications of this device include being used as a
merged amplifier and reference in applications such as
a linear regulator or as the secondary side controller in
low voltage power supply applications. The IRU431L only
requires 80mA maximum quiescent current before regu-
lating, making it ideal as a voltage reference for battery
type applications. The IRU431L has
61%
initial accu-
racy while IRU431AL provides
60.5%
initial accuracy.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Resistors from the Ref pin to the Cathode pin and to ground form a divider
that sets the output voltage.
The output of the shunt regulator. A capacitor of 1mF minimum value must
be connected from this pin to Anode pin to insure unconditional stability.
Ground pin. This pin must be connected to the lowest potential in the
system and all other pins must be at higher potential with respect to this
pin.
These pins are not connected internally.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Voltage Setting
The IRU431L can be programmed to any voltages in the
range of 1.24 to 15V with the addition of R1 and R2
external resistors according to the following formula:
Vo = V

An example is given below on how to properly select the
biasing resistor.
Assuming:

= 4.5V

= 6V
V
KA
= 3.3V

L
= 10mA
The maximum value for the biasing resistor is calcu-
lated using the following equations:

The IRU431L keeps a constant voltage of 1.240V be-
tween the Ref pin and Ground pin. By placing a resistor
R2 across these two pins a constant current flows
through R2, adding to the I
REF
current and into the R1
resistor producing a voltage equal to:

which will be added to the 1.240V to set the output volt-
age as shown in the above equation. Since the input
bias current of the Ref pin is 0.5mA max, it adds a very
small error to the output voltage and for most applica-
tions can be ignored. For example, in a typical 5V to
3.3V application where R2=1.21KV and R1=2KV the
error due to the I
ADJ
is only 1mV which is about 0.03% of
the nominal set point.

Biasing Resistor (R

The biasing resistor R

is selected such that it does not
limit the input current under the minimum input supply
and maximum load and biasing current.

Thermal Design
The IRU431L is offered in the surface mount SOT-23 (L)
packages. The SOT-23 package has the maximum power
dissipation capability of 150mW at T
A
=25°C with the de-
rating factor of -1.2mW /
°C.

pation capability of each package versus ambient tem-
perature.

Stability
The IRU431L has many different domains of stability as
a function of the cathode current. As is typical of three-
terminal shunt regulators, the IRU431L has many do-
mains of stability. The actual domain in which any prac-
tical circuit operates is related to cathode current. In
general the device will be unconditionally stable for any
cathode current if a capacitor, 1mF or larger, is connected
between the cathode and the anode. If the cathode cur-
rent is always higher than 3mA under minimum line and
maximum load conditions, the capacitor value can be
reduced to 0.01mF and the system will be stable.
In our previous example, the maximum power dissipa-
tion of the device is calculated under no load and maxi-
mum input supply condition.
The maximum power is calculated using the following
equation:
P
MAX
= V
KA
3
(
V

- V

Where:
P

= Maximum power dissipation of the 431L
For our example:
P

= 3.3

- 3.3
(

)
= 89mW
As shown in the power dissipation table, both packages
can handle this power dissipation.
