SPX2431
Precision Adjustable Shunt Regulator
Description
The SPX2431 is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt voltage regulator
providing a highly accurate bandgap reference. The SPX2431 acts as
an open-loop error amplifier with a 2.5V temperature compensation
reference. The SPX2431’s thermal stability, wide operating current
(100mA) and temperature range (0°C to 105°C) makes it suitable
for a variety of applications that require a low cost, high performance
solution. SPX2431A tolerance of 0.5% is proven to be sufficient to
overcome all of the other errors in the system to virtually eliminate the
need for trimming in the power supply manufacturer’s assembly lines
and contribute a significant cost savings.
The output voltage may be adjusted to any value between VREF and
20 volts with two external resistors. In the standard shunt configuration,
the combination of a low temperature coefficient, sharp turn on
characteristics, low output impedance, and programmable output
voltage makes this precision reference an excellent error amplifier.
The SPX2431 is available in a SOT-23-3 package.
