A Product Line of

Diodes Incorporated

ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATORS

Description

The AS431 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with

guaranteed thermal stability over a full operation range. It features

sharp turn-on characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low

output impedance, which make it ideal substitute for Zener diode in

applications such as switching power supply, charger and other

adjustable regulators.

The output voltage of AS431 can be set to any value between VREF

(2.5V) and the corresponding maximum cathode voltage (36V).

The AS431 precision reference is offered in two voltage tolerance:

0.5% and 1.0%.

This IC is available in 4 packages: TO-92 (bulk or ammo packing),

SOT-23, SOT-23-5 and SOT-89.
