SNVS020H – MAY 2000 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
LM431 Adjustable Precision Zener Shunt Regulator
1 Features

3 Description
The LM431 is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt regulator
with ensured temperature stability over the entire
temperature range of operation. The output voltage
may be set at any level greater than 2.5 V (V
REF
) up
to 36 V merely by selecting two external resistors that
act as a voltage divided network. Due to the sharp
turnon characteristics this device is an excellent
replacement for many Zener diode applications.
The LM431 is available in space-saving SOIC-8,
SOT-23, and TO-92 packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under
Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under
Recommended
Operating Conditions.
Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the TI Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.

Deviation of reference input voltage, V
DEV
, is defined as the maximum variation of the reference input voltage over the full temperature
range.
The average temperature coefficient of the reference input voltage,
∝V
REF
, is defined as:
Where:
T
2
– T
1
= full temperature change (0–70°C).
V
REF
can be positive or negative depending on whether the slope is positive or negative.
Example: V
DEV
= 8 mV, V
REF
= 2495 mV, T
2
– T
1
= 70°C, slope is positive.
