Product details
Overview
AS431HBZTR-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. It delivers sharp turn-on characteristics, 20ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, and stable operation from −40°C to +125°C-used in feedback loops of switching power supplies and USB-C chargers requiring accurate voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AS431HBZTR-G1 datasheet, AS431HBZTR-G1 pinout, AS431HBZTR-G1 application, or AS431HBZTR-G1 equivalent, this device serves as a Zener-replacement reference with programmable output (2.495V–36V), low dynamic impedance (0.15Ω typ), and high capacitive-load stability-critical for isolated flyback and QR-PSR adapter designs.
Technical Context
The AS431HBZTR-G1 implements a bandgap-based reference core with internal error amplifier and NPN pass transistor, enabling precise two-resistor voltage programming via the REF terminal. Its sink current range (0.5–100mA) and low output noise support tight regulation in low-power auxiliary rails and optocoupler feedback paths.
Thermal stability is achieved through curvature-compensated bandgap design and matched on-chip resistor ratios, yielding only ±5mV typical VREF deviation across −40°C to +125°C. The device maintains <0.5Ω dynamic impedance up to 100kHz, ensuring minimal AC error in PWM-controlled converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF | 2.495V nominal; sets minimum programmable output voltage with 1.0% initial accuracy at 10mA cathode current. |
| VKA max | 36V; maximum cathode-to-anode voltage before regulation loss-supports wide-input adapters and industrial SMPS. |
| ZKA | 0.15Ω typical; low dynamic impedance ensures minimal output voltage ripple under load transients. |
| IKA range | 0.5–100mA; defines usable sink current window for stable regulation-compatible with standard optocoupler LED drive. |
| Temp coeff | 20ppm/°C typical; enables <±10mV total drift over full −40°C to +125°C range-critical for automotive-grade power rails. |
| ΔVREF/ΔVKA | −0.5 to −2.0mV/V; quantifies cathode voltage sensitivity-low value reduces line-regulation error in unregulated inputs. |
| θJA | 165°C/W (TO92); thermal resistance determines max power dissipation (≈215mW at TA=+85°C) without heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
AS431HBZTR-G1 is supplied in TO92 (Ammo Packing) package with lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction. Pin assignment follows standard TO92 orientation: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE (viewed from flat side with leads down).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (REF) | Reference input | High-impedance node sensing voltage divider output; sets regulation point when connected between cathode and anode via R1/R2. |
| Pin 2 (CATHODE) | Regulated output sink | Current-sinking terminal delivering precise voltage to external circuitry; connects to optocoupler LED or error amplifier input. |
| Pin 3 (ANODE) | Ground reference | Return path for cathode current; must be tied to system ground or common return to maintain reference integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output voltage | Programmable from 2.495V to 36V using two external resistors-replaces multiple Zener diodes in multi-rail systems. |
| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with ≥100µF load capacitance at VKA = 5–15V-enables direct use in low-ESR ceramic-filtered outputs without compensation. |
| Low temperature drift | ±5mV typical VREF deviation over −40°C to +125°C-meets industrial temperature requirements without calibration. |
| Low quiescent current | 0.7µA typical IREF-minimizes divider network power loss in battery-powered or energy-harvesting applications. |
| High ESD robustness | 2000V HBM rating-reduces risk of field failure during PCB handling and assembly in high-volume manufacturing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BIDBZR | 2.495V VREF, 0.5% tolerance, SOT23-3 package, higher IKA min (1mA), 0.2Ω ZKA | Requires higher minimum cathode current; less suitable for ultra-low-power optocoupler drive | Select when tighter initial accuracy (0.5%) and SOT23 footprint are prioritized over TO92 cost and thermal mass |
| AS431AZTR-G1 | Same TO92 package, 0.5% VREF tolerance, identical pinout and thermal specs | No functional difference except tighter reference tolerance-no change to external resistor values needed | Choose for applications demanding ±12mV max VREF error over temperature, such as medical-grade power supplies |
Compared with TL431BIDBZR and AS431AZTR-G1, the AS431HBZTR-G1 offers optimal balance of cost, thermal performance (TO92 θJA=165°C/W), and 1.0% tolerance-ideal for high-volume consumer adapters where ±25mV VREF error is acceptable and board space is constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in AS431HBZTR-G1?
The AS431HBZTR-G1 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.35mA (typical) to maintain regulation, with 0.5mA specified as the guaranteed minimum across temperature. This allows reliable operation with high-value feedback resistors-e.g., 1MΩ top resistor at 12V output yields ~11.5mA cathode current, well above threshold.
Can AS431HBZTR-G1 replace TL431 in existing designs?
Yes-AS431HBZTR-G1 is pin-compatible with TL431 in TO92 packages and shares identical electrical behavior: same VREF (2.495V), cathode current range, and dynamic impedance. No circuit changes are needed, though its 1.0% tolerance and lower IREF (0.7µA typ vs. TL431's 2µA) may slightly reduce divider power loss.
Does AS431HBZTR-G1 support capacitive loads without oscillation?
Yes-the device remains stable with ≥100µF ceramic or electrolytic capacitors at cathode, verified across 5V–15V cathode voltages. Its internal compensation eliminates need for external capacitor or resistor in standard feedback configurations, simplifying layout for compact adapters.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation for AS431HBZTR-G1?
AS431HBZTR-G1 in TO92 has θJA = 165°C/W. At +85°C ambient, maximum continuous power dissipation is ≈215mW (calculated as (150°C − 85°C)/165°C/W). This supports 100mA sink current at 2.15V drop-sufficient for most optocoupler LED drive and error amplifier biasing applications.
