TL43xx Precision Programmable Reference
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TL431 and TL432 devices are three-terminal
adjustable shunt regulators, 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 0.2 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. The TL432
device has exactly the same functionality and
electrical specifications as the TL431 device, but has
different pinouts for the DBV, DBZ, and PK packages.

Both the TL431 and TL432 devices are offered in
three grades, with initial tolerances (at 25°C) of 0.5%,
1%, and 2%, for the B, A, and standard grade,
respectively. In addition, low output drift versus
temperature ensures good stability over the entire
temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

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.

SLVS543O – AUGUST 2004 – REVISED JANUARY 2015
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 it's key components containing an accurate voltage reference & opamp, which are
very fundamental analog building blocks. TL43xx is used in conjunction with it's key components to behave as a
single voltage reference, error amplifier, voltage clamp or comparator with integrated reference.
TL43xx can be operated and adjusted to cathode voltages from 2.5V to 36V, making this part optimum 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, >1mA (Imin(max)) 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%, 1%, and 2%. These
reference options are denoted by B (0.5%), A (1.0%) and blank (2.0%) after the TL431 or TL432. TL431 & TL432
are both functionaly, but have separate pinout options.
The TL43xxC devices are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, the TL43xxI devices are characterized
for operation from –40°C to 85°C, and the TL43xxQ devices are characterized for operation from –40°C to
125°C.

9.3 Feature Description
TL43xx consists of an internal reference and amplifier that outputs a sink current base 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 24). A Darlington pair is used in order for this device to be able to sink a
maximum current of 100 mA.
When operated with enough voltage headroom (≥ 2.5 V) and cathode current (IKA), TL431 forces the reference
pin to 2.5 V. However, the reference pin can not be left floating, as it needs IREF ≥ 4 µA (please see Electrical
Characteristics, TL431C, TL432C). 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, TL43xx 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 TL43xx enough gain.
Unlike many linear regulators, TL43xx 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 24 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 TL43xx 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, TL43xx will
have the characteristics shown in Figure 23. With such high gain in this configuration, TL43xx is typically used as
a comparator. With the reference integrated makes TL43xx the prefered 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 TL43xx is being fed back to the reference/input pin in any form,
this device is operating in closed loop. The majority of applications involving TL43xx 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.

10.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
When using TL431 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
10.2.1.2.1 Basic Operation
In the configuration shown in Figure 25 TL431 will behave as a comparator, comparing the VREF pin voltage to
the internal virtual reference voltage. When provided a proper cathode current (IK), TL43xx will have enough
open loop gain to provide a quick response. This can be seen in Figure 26, where the RSUP=10 kΩ (IKA=500 µA)
situation responds much slower than RSUP=1 kΩ (IKA=5 mA). With the TL43xx's max Operating Current (IMIN)
being 1 mA, operation below that could result in low gain, leading to a slow response.
10.2.1.2.1.1 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%, 1.0% or 1.5%) depending on which version is being used. The
more overdrive voltage provided, the faster the TL431 will respond.
For applications where TL431 is being used as a comparator, it is best to set the trip point to greater than the
positive expected error (i.e. +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, it is recommended to use an input resistor
