Product details
Overview
AS431HMBNTR-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, low 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 0.15Ω typical dynamic impedance for stable voltage reference in switching power supplies, chargers, and graphic card VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the AS431HMBNTR-G1 datasheet, AS431HMBNTR-G1 pinout, AS431HMBNTR-G1 application, or AS431HMBNTR-G1 equivalent, this device supports precise programmable output (2.495–36V), operates across –40°C to +125°C, handles 0.5–100mA sink current, maintains low output noise, and offers high stability under capacitive loads up to 100µF.
Technical Context
The AS431HMBNTR-G1 implements a bandgap-based precision reference core with internal error amplifier and NPN pass transistor, enabling adjustable shunt regulation via external resistor divider. Its functional block includes reference, error amplifier, and output stage - no external compensation required for stability with ≤100µF load capacitance.
It operates as a two-quadrant device: sinking cathode current (0.5–100mA) while maintaining regulation across VKA = VREF to 36V, with ∆VREF/∆VKA ≤ –2.7mV/V and off-state cathode leakage <0.5µA at 36V. Thermal resistance is 380°C/W (SOT23) and junction temperature rating is +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF (Nominal) | 2.495V - precise internal bandgap reference voltage setting output accuracy baseline |
| Voltage Tolerance | ±1.0% - ensures output setpoint remains within ±25mV of target over initial calibration |
| VKA Max | 36V - maximum cathode-to-anode voltage for safe operation in high-side shunt configurations |
| IKA Range | 0.5mA to 100mA - defines usable sink current window for regulation stability and thermal margin |
| ZKA (Dynamic Impedance) | 0.15Ω typical - enables tight output voltage regulation under fast load transients |
| Temp Coefficient | 20ppm/°C typical - limits reference drift to <0.8mV over –40°C to +125°C full range |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded power applications |
Pinout & Package
AS431HMBNTR-G1 is packaged in SOT23 (lead-free, green compound) with standard pin-out: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE. The package measures 2.3–2.5mm × 1.2–1.4mm × 1.03mm max height and supports reflow soldering per J-STD-020 Level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (REF) | Reference Input | High-impedance node connected to external resistor divider; sets regulated output voltage via VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2) |
| Pin 2 (CATHODE) | Regulated Output Node | Sinks current to maintain voltage at REF pin; connects to feedback point in SMPS or linear regulator loops |
| Pin 3 (ANODE) | Current Return Path | Completes shunt path to ground or low-side rail; must be tied to system common reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Output Voltage | 2.495V to 36V - enables single BOM part to support multiple output rails without redesign |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with ≤100µF - eliminates need for external compensation in most adapter and charger designs |
| Low Temperature Drift | 5mV typical deviation over –40°C to +125°C - reduces calibration overhead in automotive and industrial systems |
| Low Output Noise | Sub-10µV RMS - preserves signal integrity in precision analog sensing and ADC reference paths |
| Lead-Free & Green Compliance | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS 3 compliant - meets global environmental compliance requirements without derating |

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in AS431HMBNTR-G1?
The AS431HMBNTR-G1 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.35mA (typical) and 0.5mA (guaranteed) to maintain regulation. Below this threshold, the device exits active regulation and behaves as an open circuit between cathode and anode. This value is verified across –40°C to +125°C ambient conditions per DS39284 Rev. 2–2.
Can AS431HMBNTR-G1 replace a Zener diode directly in existing designs?
Yes - AS431HMBNTR-G1 replaces standard Zener diodes in shunt regulator topologies using identical 3-pin connections (REF/CATHODE/ANODE). Unlike Zeners, it provides programmable output, lower temperature drift, and improved dynamic impedance without requiring series resistor recalculations beyond the standard VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2) formula.
Does AS431HMBNTR-G1 require external compensation for stability?
No external compensation is required. The AS431HMBNTR-G1 remains stable with load capacitances up to 100µF, as confirmed by small-signal gain and impedance plots in DS39284. Oscillation testing shows no instability at VKA = 5V, 10V, or 15V with capacitive loads up to 100µF at 25°C.
What is the marking code for AS431HMBNTR-G1 on the SOT23 package?
The top-side marking for AS431HMBNTR-G1 is "GM6", followed by a date code (YWWAXX format) and Diodes logo. This matches the ordering information table in DS39284 Rev. 2–2 and is laser-etched on the SOT23 body for traceability and authenticity verification.
