TA431
ADJUSTABLE PRECISION ZENER SHUNT REGULATOR
TA 431
DESCRIPTION
The TA431 is a three-terminal adjustable regulator with a guaranteed thermal stability over
applicable temperature ranges. The output voltage may be set to any value between V
REF
(approximately 2.5V) and 36V with two external resistors. This device has typical dynamic output
impedance of 0.2Ω. Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic, making
these devices excellent replacement for zener diodes in many applications.
FEATURE
Programmable output voltage to 36V
Low dynamic output impedance 0.2Ωtypical
Sink current capability of 1.0mA to 100mA
Equivalent full-range temperature coefficient of 500ppm/℃ typical
Temperature compensated for operation over full rated operating temperature range
Low output noise voltage
Fast turn on response
