Product details
Overview
AS431HBNTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a three-terminal adjustable precision shunt regulator with 1.0% reference voltage tolerance, 2.495V nominal VREF, and 36V maximum cathode voltage rating. It delivers sharp turn-on characteristics, low output impedance (0.15Ω typical), and stable operation from –40°C to +125°C - used in feedback loops of switching power supplies, USB chargers, and precision voltage references.
For engineers reviewing the AS431HBNTR-G1 datasheet, AS431HBNTR-G1 pinout, AS431HBNTR-G1 application, or AS431HBNTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable 2.495–36V output range, ±5mV max VREF drift over temperature, 0.5–100mA sink current capability, and SOT23 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AS431HBNTR-G1 functions as a two-input, one-output precision voltage comparator driving an internal NPN pass transistor - the REF pin senses external resistor divider voltage, while the CATHODE sinks current to regulate system output. Its architecture enables direct replacement of Zener diodes without sacrificing thermal stability or dynamic response.
It operates across full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) with guaranteed 20ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient and <0.5Ω dynamic impedance up to 100kHz, supporting stable regulation under capacitive loads up to 100µF without oscillation - verified per Figure 8 in DS39284 Rev. 2-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF (Nominal) | 2.495V - precise internal bandgap reference enabling accurate output programming via external resistors |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±1.0% - ensures output accuracy within ±25mV at 2.5V setting, critical for tight-regulation SMPS feedback |
| VKA Max | 36V - supports regulation in 24V industrial rails and 32V automotive auxiliary supplies |
| IKA Range | 0.5mA to 100mA - accommodates low-power biasing and high-current error amplification in multi-output converters |
| ZKA (Dynamic Impedance) | 0.15Ω typical - minimizes load-induced output deviation during transient events in closed-loop systems |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C typical - limits VREF drift to <0.8mV over 0–70°C, preserving ADC reference integrity |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
AS431HBNTR-G1 is supplied in the SOT23-3L package (2.3 × 1.2 × 1.0mm), RoHS-compliant, matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 3. Pin assignments follow standard "Normal" pin-out configuration per ordering code BNTR-G1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Current return path | Connected to system ground or low-side return; completes shunt current loop |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Regulated output node | Sinks adjustable current to maintain VREF at REF pin; connects to SMPS feedback node or error amp input |
| Pin 3 (Ref) | Precision voltage sense input | Monitors resistor-divider voltage; triggers regulation when ≥2.495V; high-impedance (0.7µA typ IREF) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable output voltage | 2.495V to 36V via two-resistor divider - eliminates need for multiple Zener values in BOM |
| Low temperature drift | ±5mV max over –40°C to +125°C - maintains regulation accuracy without external compensation |
| Capacitive load stability | Stable with ≥100µF output capacitance - enables use with bulk electrolytics in cost-sensitive adapters |
| Low noise & high PSRR | Sub-10µVpp output noise and >60dB PSRR at 1kHz - preserves signal integrity in analog sensor interfaces |
| High sink current capacity | 100mA continuous - drives optocoupler LEDs directly in isolated flyback feedback paths |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BIDBVR | 2.495V VREF, ±0.5% tolerance, SO-8 package, higher ZKA (0.22Ω min) | Larger footprint; requires external capacitor for stability above 10µF | Select for tighter initial accuracy where board space permits SO-8 mounting |
| AS431HANTR-G1 | Same SOT23-3 package, but ±0.5% VREF tolerance and lower temp drift (±5mV vs ±16mV over –40°C to +125°C) | Higher cost; preferred where long-term calibration stability is critical | Select when system-level accuracy budget demands <±10mV total VREF error over full temperature range |
Compared with TL431BIDBVR and AS431HANTR-G1, AS431HBNTR-G1 offers optimal balance of SOT23 compactness, 1.0% accuracy, and proven capacitive-load stability - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial and consumer power designs where ±25mV VREF error is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in AS431HBNTR-G1?
The AS431HBNTR-G1 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.35mA (typical) and 0.5mA (guaranteed) to maintain regulation. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "IKA (Min)" at TA = +25°C. Operation below this threshold may result in loss of reference accuracy or unstable output voltage.
Can AS431HBNTR-G1 replace a standard Zener diode directly in existing circuits?
Yes - AS431HBNTR-G1 can directly replace Zener diodes rated between 2.5V and 36V by connecting REF to the Zener cathode node and Anode to ground. Its sharp turn-on and low dynamic impedance eliminate Zener's soft knee and high impedance issues, improving regulation accuracy and transient response without circuit redesign.
Does AS431HBNTR-G1 require an external capacitor for stability?
No external capacitor is required for basic stability. The device remains stable with output capacitances up to 100µF, as confirmed in Figure 8 of DS39284 Rev. 2-2. However, for systems with >100µF bulk capacitance or high ESR electrolytics, a 1nF ceramic capacitor from REF to Anode is recommended to suppress high-frequency peaking.
What is the marking code for AS431HBNTR-G1 on the SOT23 package?
The top-side marking for AS431HBNTR-G1 is "GJB", followed by a date code (e.g., "2328" for week 28 of 2023) and assembly house code. This matches the "Marking ID" column in the Ordering Information table on page 10 of DS39284 Rev. 2-2, confirming traceability to the 1.0% tolerance, SOT23, normal pin-out variant.
