ATL431LI-Q1 / ATL432LI-Q1 High Bandwidth Low-IQ Programmable Shunt Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The ATL43xLI-Q1 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt
regulator, with specified thermal stability over
applicable automotive, commercial, and military
temperature ranges. Its output voltage can be set to
any value between Vref (approximately 2.5 V) and 36
V with two external resistors. The device has a typical
output impedance of 0.3 Ω. Its active output circuitry
provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic, making it
an excellent replacement 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-Q1
and TL432LI-Q1, with lower minimum operating
current to help reduce system power consumption.
The ATL432LI-Q1 has exactly the same functionality
and electrical specifications as the ATL431LI-Q1, but
has a different pinout for the DBZ package.

8.1 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, refer to the Voltage Reference Selection Basics White Paper.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 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 op amp, which
are very fundamental analog building blocks. The ATL431LI-Q1 is used in conjunction with the key components
to behave as the following:
• Single voltage reference
• Error amplifier
• Voltage clamp
• Comparator with integrated reference
ATL431LI-Q1 can be operated and adjusted to cathode voltages from 2.5 V to 36 V, making this part optimal for
a wide range of end equipments in industrial, auto, telecom, and computing. For this device to behave as a shunt
regulator or error amplifier, >80 µA (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-Q1 or ATL432LI-Q1. ATL431LI-Q1
and ATL432LI-Q1 are both functionally the same, but have different pinout options. The ATL43xLI-Q1 devices
are characterized for operation from –40°C to +125°C.

SNVSBB0A – MAY 2019 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2019
9.3 Feature Description
The ATL431LI-Q1 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 Figure 21. A Darlington pair is used 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), the ATL431LI-Q1 forces the
reference pin to 2.5 V. However, the reference pin cannot be left floating, as it needs IREF ≥ 0.4 µA (see the
Specifications). This is because the reference pin is driven into an NPN, which needs base current to operate
properly.
When feedback is applied from the Cathode and Reference pins, the ATL431LI-Q1 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 for it to
be in the proper linear region giving ATL431LI-Q1 enough gain.
Unlike many linear regulators, ATL431LI-Q1 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.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Open Loop (Comparator)
When the cathode/output voltage or current of ATL431LI-Q1 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, the
ATL431LI-Q1 has the characteristics shown in Figure 21. With such high gain in this configuration, the ATL431LIQ1 is typically used as a comparator. With the reference integrated makes ATL431LI-Q1 the preferred choice
when users are trying to monitor a certain level of a single signal.
9.4.2 Closed Loop
When the cathode/output voltage or current of the ATL431LI-Q1 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-Q1 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.

10.2.3 Detailed Design Procedure
When using the ATL431LI-Q1 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
10.2.3.1 Basic Operation
In the configuration shown in Figure 23, the ATL431LI-Q1 behaves as a comparator, comparing the VREF pin
voltage to the internal virtual reference voltage. When provided a proper cathode current (IK), ATL431LI-Q1 has
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-Q1 max operating
current (IMIN) being 1 mA, operation below that can result in low gain, leading to a slow response.
10.2.3.1.1 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 is 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-Q1 will respond.
For applications where ATL431LI-Q1 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 suffices.
For minimal voltage drop or difference from Vin to the ref pin, TI recommends to use an input resistor
