General Description
TS431 integrated circuits are three-terminal programmable shunt regulator diodes. These monolithic IC voltage
references operate as a low temperature coefficient zener which is programmable from V
REF
to 36 volts with two
external resistors. These devices exhibit a wide operating current range to 250mA with a typical dynamic
impedance of 0.2Ω. The characteristics of these references make them excellent replacements for zener diodes in
many applications such as digital voltmeters, power supplies, and op amp circuitry. The 2.495V reference makes it
convenient to obtain a stable reference from 5.0V logic supplies, and since The TS431 operates as a shunt
regulator, it can be used as either a positive or negative stage reference.

Additional Information – Stability
When The TS431A/431B is used as a shunt regulator, there are two options for selection of C
L
, are recommended for optional
stability:
A)
B)
No load capacitance across the device, decouple at the load.
Large capacitance across the device, optional decoupling at the load.
The reason for this is that TS431A/431B exhibits instability with capacitances in the range of 10nF to 1uF (approx.) at light
cathode current up to 3mA (typ). The device is less stable the lower the cathode voltage has been set for. Therefore while the
device will be perfectly stable operating at a cathode current of 10mA (approx.) with a 0.1uF capacitor across it, it will oscillate
transiently during start up as the cathode current passes through the instability region. Select a very low capacitance, or
alternatively a high capacitance (10uF) will avoid this issue altogether. Since the user will probably wish to have local
decoupling at the load anyway, the most cost effective method is to use no capacitance at all directly across the device. PCB
trace/via resistance and inductance prevent the local load decoupling from causing the oscillation during the transient start up
phase.
Note: if the TS431A/431B is located right at the load, so the load decoupling capacitor is directly across it, then this capacitor
will have to be
≤1nF
or
≥10uF.
