SLVSDU6D – JULY 2017 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2019
ATL431LI / ATL432LI High Bandwidth Low-Iq Programmable Shunt Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
The ATL43xLI device is a three-terminal adjustable
shunt regulator, with specified thermal stability over
applicable automotive, commercial, and military
temperature ranges. The output voltage can be set to
any value between Vref (approximately 2.5 V) and 36
V, with two external resistors. These devices have a
typical output impedance of 0.3 Ω. Active output
circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic,
making these devices excellent replacements for
Zener diodes in many applications, such as onboard
regulation, adjustable power supplies, and switching
power supplies. This device is a pin-to-pin alternative
to the TL431LI and TL432LI, with lower minimum
operating current to help reduce system power
consumption. The ATL432LI device has exactly the
same functionality and electrical specifications as the
ATL431LI device, but has a different pinout for the
DBZ package. The ATL431LI is also offered in a tiny
X2SON (1.00 mm x 1.00 mm) package which makes
it ideal for space constraint applications.

initial tolerances (at 25°C) of 0.5%, and 1%, for the B
and A grade, respectively. In addition, low output drift
versus temperature ensures good stability over the
entire temperature range.

Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.

9.1 Temperature Coefficient
The deviation of the reference voltage, Vref, over the full temperature range is known as VI(dev). The parameter of
VI(dev) can be used to find the temperature coefficient of the device. The average full-range temperature
coefficient of the reference input voltage, αVref, is defined as:
αVref is positive or negative, depending on whether minimum Vref or maximum Vref, respectively, occurs at the
lower temperature. The full-range temperature coefficient is an average and therefore any subsection of the rated
operating temperature range can yield a value that is greater or less than the average. For more details on
temperature coefficient, check out Voltage Reference Selection Basics.

10 Detailed Description
10.1 Overview
This standard device has proven ubiquity and versatility across a wide range of applications, ranging from power
to signal path. This is due to its key components containing an accurate voltage reference and opamp, which are
very fundamental analog building blocks. ATL431LI is used in conjunction with its key components to behave as
a single voltage reference, error amplifier, voltage clamp or comparator with integrated reference.
ATL431LI can be operated and adjusted to cathode voltages from 2.5V to 36V, making this part optimal for a
wide range of end equipments in industrial, auto, telecom & computing. In order for this device to behave as a
shunt regulator or error amplifier, >80µA (Imin(maximum)) must be supplied in to the cathode pin. Under this
condition, feedback can be applied from the Cathode and Ref pins to create a replica of the internal reference
voltage.
Various reference voltage options can be purchased with initial tolerances (at 25°C) of 0.5%, and 1%. These
reference options are denoted by B (0.5%) and A (1.0%) after the ATL431LI or ATL432LI. ATL431LI and
ATL432LI are both functionally the same, but have separate pinout options.
The ATL43xLIxQ devices are characterized for operation from –40°C to +125°C.

10.3 Feature Description
ATL431LI consists of an internal reference and amplifier that outputs a sink current based on the difference
between the reference pin and the virtual internal pin. The sink current is produced by the internal Darlington
pair, shown in the above schematic (Figure 21). A Darlington pair is used in order for this device to be able to
sink a maximum current of 15 mA.
When operated with enough voltage headroom (≥ 2.5 V) and cathode current (IKA), ATL431LI forces the
reference pin to 2.5 V. However, the reference pin can not be left floating, as it needs IREF ≥ 0.4 µA ( see
Specifications). This is because the reference pin is driven into an NPN, which needs base current in order
operate properly.
When feedback is applied from the Cathode and Reference pins, ATL431LI behaves as a Zener diode,
regulating to a constant voltage dependent on current being supplied into the cathode. This is due to the internal
amplifier and reference entering the proper operating regions. The same amount of current needed in the above
feedback situation must be applied to this device in open loop, servo or error amplifying implementations in order
for it to be in the proper linear region giving ATL431LI enough gain.
Unlike many linear regulators, ATL431LI is internally compensated to be stable without an output capacitor
between the cathode and anode. However, if it is desired to use an output capacitor Figure 13 can be used as a
guide to assist in choosing the correct capacitor to maintain stability.
10.4 Device Functional Modes
10.4.1 Open Loop (Comparator)
When the cathode/output voltage or current of ATL431LI is not being fed back to the reference/input pin in any
form, this device is operating in open loop. With proper cathode current (Ika) applied to this device, ATL431LI will
have the characteristics shown in SLVA987. With such high gain in this configuration, ATL431LI is typically used
as a voltage comparator. The integrated voltage reference makes the ATL431LI a flexible device for monitoring a
signal for undervoltage and overvoltage detection.
10.4.2 Closed Loop
When the cathode/output voltage or current of ATL431LI is being fed back to the reference/input pin in any form,
this device is operating in closed loop. The majority of applications involving ATL431LI use it in this manner to
regulate a fixed voltage or current. The feedback enables this device to behave as an error amplifier, computing
a portion of the output voltage and adjusting it to maintain the desired regulation. This is done by relating the
output voltage back to the reference pin in a manner to make it equal to the internal reference voltage, which can
be accomplished via resistive or direct feedback.

11.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
When using ATL431LI as a comparator with reference, determine the following:
• Input Voltage Range
• Reference Voltage Accuracy
• Output logic input high and low level thresholds
• Current Source resistance
11.2.1.2.1 Basic Operation
In the configuration shown in Figure 23 ATL431LI will behave as a comparator, comparing the VREF pin voltage
to the internal virtual reference voltage. When provided a proper cathode current (IK), ATL431LI will have enough
open loop gain to provide a quick response. This can be seen in Figure 24, where the RSUP=10 kΩ (IKA=500 µA)
situation responds much slower than RSUP=1 kΩ (IKA=5 mA). With the ATL431LI max Operating Current (IMIN)
being 0.08 mA, operation near that could result in low gain, leading to a slow response.
11.2.1.2.1.1 Overdrive
Slow or inaccurate responses can also occur when the reference pin is not provided enough overdrive voltage.
This is the amount of voltage that is higher than the internal virtual reference. The internal virtual reference
voltage will be within the range of 2.5 V ±(0.5% or 1.0%) depending on which version is being used. The more
overdrive voltage provided, the faster the ATL431LI will respond.
For applications where ATL431LI is being used as a comparator, it is best to set the trip point to greater than the
positive expected error (that is +1.0% for the A version). For fast response, setting the trip point to >10% of the
internal VREF should suffice.
For minimal voltage drop or difference from Vin to the ref pin, TI recommends to use an input resistor
