ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATORS AZ431-B

General Description Features

The AZ431-B is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regu- Programmable Precise Output Voltage from 2.5V
lator with guaranteed thermal stability over a full oper- to 18V
ation range. It features sharp turn-on characteristics, High Stability under Capacitive Load
low temperature coefficient and low output impedance, Low Temperature Deviation: 4.5mV Typical
which make it ideal substitute for Zener diode in appli-
Low Equivalent Full-range Temperature Coeffi-
cations such as switching power supply, charger and
other adjustable regulators. cient with 20PPM/oC Typical
Sink Current Capacity from 1mA to 100mA
The output voltage of AZ431-B can be set to any value Low Output Noise
between VREF (2.5V) and the corresponding maximum Wide Operating Range of -40 to 125oC
cathode voltage.
Applications
The AZ431-B precision reference is offered in two
voltage tolerance: 0.4% and 0.8%. Charger
Voltage Adapter
This IC is available in 4 packages: TO-92 (bulk or
ammo packing), SOT-23, SOT-23-5 and SOT-89. Switching Power Supply
