Product details
Overview
AS431HAZTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a three-terminal adjustable precision shunt regulator with 0.5% reference voltage tolerance, 2.495V nominal VREF, and 36V maximum cathode voltage rating. It delivers low temperature coefficient (20 ppm/°C typical), sharp turn-on characteristics, and stable operation from −40°C to +125°C - used as a programmable voltage reference in switching power supplies and battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the AS431HAZTR-G1 datasheet, AS431HAZTR-G1 pinout, AS431HAZTR-G1 application, or AS431HAZTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.5% VREF accuracy, 0.15Ω dynamic impedance, 100mA sink current capability, TO92 package thermal resistance (165°C/W), and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 100µF without oscillation.
Technical Context
The AS431HAZTR-G1 functions as a two-input comparator-based shunt regulator: the REF pin senses voltage via external resistor divider, while the cathode sinks current to maintain precise VREF at the reference node. Its internal bandgap reference ensures stable 2.495V output across temperature and line variations.
It operates in continuous regulation mode with cathode current ranging from 0.35mA (minimum for regulation) to 100mA, and exhibits low output noise and high AC stability - validated for load capacitance up to 100µF and small-signal gain flatness below 10kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF | 2.495V ±0.5% - sets precise regulation threshold for external resistor network |
| VKA Max | 36V - maximum cathode-to-anode voltage for safe operation in high-voltage feedback loops |
| IKA Range | 0.5–100mA - supports wide output current adjustment in shunt regulator and current source topologies |
| ZKA | 0.15Ω typical - ensures minimal voltage deviation under dynamic load transients |
| Temp Coeff | 20 ppm/°C typical - guarantees ≤16mV total VREF drift over −40°C to +125°C |
| ∆VREF/∆VKA | −0.5 to −2.7 mV/V - quantifies cathode voltage rejection for stable reference under input ripple |
| θJA | 165°C/W (TO92) - defines thermal derating limit for ambient temperatures up to +125°C |
Pinout & Package
AS431HAZTR-G1 is supplied in TO92 (Ammo Packing) package with standard pin-out: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE. The package features lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction and is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (REF) | Reference Input | High-impedance sensing node for external resistor divider; regulates when voltage equals VREF |
| Pin 2 (CATHODE) | Current Sink Output | Sinks up to 100mA to maintain regulated voltage; connects to supply rail in shunt configuration |
| Pin 3 (ANODE) | Ground Reference | Return path for reference current and cathode sink current; tied to system ground |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDR | 2.5V VREF, 2% tolerance, SOIC-8 package, θJA = 130°C/W | Lacks extended temperature rating (−40°C to +125°C); higher VREF drift (50 ppm/°C) | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs precision and thermal performance requirements |
| AS431HANTR-G1 | SOT23 package, identical electrical specs, θJA = 380°C/W | Higher thermal resistance limits power dissipation in high-current designs | Selected when PCB space constraints require surface-mount packaging over through-hole TO92 |
Compared with TL431ACDR and AS431HANTR-G1, AS431HAZTR-G1 provides superior thermal performance (165°C/W vs. 380°C/W), tighter VREF tolerance (0.5% vs. 2%), and guaranteed operation to +125°C - making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally constrained, or automotive-adjacent applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in AS431HAZTR-G1?
The AS431HAZTR-G1 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.35mA to maintain regulation, verified per datasheet Section 5 (Electrical Characteristics). This value ensures stable reference operation even under light-load conditions in high-impedance feedback networks.
Can AS431HAZTR-G1 be used with large output capacitors without instability?
Yes - the AS431HAZTR-G1 remains stable with load capacitance up to 100µF, as confirmed by stability boundary testing in the datasheet (Figure 12). No series damping resistor is needed, simplifying layout in SMPS feedback paths.
How does the TO92 package affect thermal performance compared to SOT23?
The TO92 package offers θJA = 165°C/W versus 380°C/W for SOT23, enabling higher continuous power dissipation (up to ~350mW at +125°C ambient). This makes AS431HAZTR-G1 more suitable for high-current shunt applications where thermal headroom is critical.
Is AS431HAZTR-G1 qualified for automotive use?
AS431HAZTR-G1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified, but it operates across −40°C to +125°C and meets RoHS/Green standards. For automotive applications, Diodes recommends contacting their sales team for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured alternatives.
