Product details
Overview
AS431IANTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a three-terminal adjustable precision shunt regulator with 0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance (2.500 V), 10 µA typical minimum cathode current for regulation, and operation across –40°C to +125°C. It replaces Zener diodes in feedback loops of switching power supplies, battery chargers, and precision voltage references where low temperature drift (4.5 mV max over full range) and stable capacitive-load performance are required.
For engineers reviewing the AS431IANTR-G1 datasheet, AS431IANTR-G1 pinout, AS431IANTR-G1 application, or AS431IANTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include cathode voltage range (2.5 V to 36 V), dynamic impedance (0.15 Ω typ), thermal stability, and SOT-23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AS431IANTR-G1 functions as a programmable shunt reference with an internal bandgap-derived 2.5 V reference and high-gain error amplifier. Its sharp turn-on and low output impedance enable precise regulation even under light load or high-capacitance conditions.
It operates in a two-node configuration: cathode connects to regulated output node, anode to ground or return path, and reference pin senses feedback divider. Regulation is maintained when cathode voltage exceeds VREF × (1 + R1/R2), with sink current ranging from 50 µA to 100 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage (VREF) | 2.500 V ±0.5% at +25°C - sets base accuracy for all output voltages via external resistor divider |
| Cathode Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 36 V - enables programmable output from 2.5 V up to near system rail without external biasing |
| Min Cathode Current (IKAmin) | 10 µA typical, 50 µA max - allows regulation in ultra-low-power standby or monitoring circuits |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZKA) | 0.15 Ω typical at 1–100 mA - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients |
| Temp Coefficient (∆VREF) | 4.5 mV typical over –40°C to +125°C - supports stable reference in automotive and industrial ambient extremes |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood, industrial control, and high-density power converter environments |
| Package | SOT-23 - surface-mount, 3-pin, footprint-compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package: compact 3-pin surface-mount outline with 1.9 mm × 2.8 mm body, 0.95 mm lead pitch, and JEDEC-standard footprint. Thermal resistance θJC = 113°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | REF | High-impedance reference input - connects to center tap of feedback resistor divider; draws only 0.035 µA typical |
| 2 | ANODE | Ground reference node - must be connected to system common/return; defines current sink path |
| 3 | CATHODE | Regulated output node - sinks current to maintain set voltage; interfaces directly with power stage error amplifier |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Output Voltage | 2.5 V to 36 V via two-resistor divider - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage references |
| Low Minimum Cathode Current | 10 µA typical - enables use in always-on monitoring circuits without compromising quiescent power |
| Stability Under Capacitive Load | No oscillation with ≥100 µF output capacitance - simplifies EMI filtering and eliminates need for series damping resistors |
| Low Output Noise | Sub-10 µVRMS broadband noise - preserves signal integrity in precision analog sensing and ADC reference paths |
| Lead-Free & Green Compliance | RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free - meets IPC-1752A material declaration and automotive ELV requirements |
Applications
| Switching Power Supply Feedback | Battery Charger Voltage Regulation |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | 2.5 V reference, ±1% tolerance, higher min cathode current (100 µA), SOT-23 package | Less suitable for ultra-low-power standby modes due to higher IKAmin | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs quiescent current requirements and ±1% tolerance is acceptable |
| AP431SASNTR-G1 | Same manufacturer, improved thermal stability (3.5 mV max), lower dynamic impedance (0.10 Ω), pin-compatible SOT-23 | Drop-in replacement with tighter spec margins; recommended for new designs per Diodes' notice | Prefer for next-generation designs requiring enhanced long-term reliability and reduced thermal drift |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and AP431SASNTR-G1, the AS431IANTR-G1 offers superior low-current regulation capability and tighter initial tolerance, making it optimal for legacy designs where IKAmin < 50 µA is critical-but AP431SASNTR-G1 is preferred for new designs requiring extended lifetime stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode voltage the AS431IANTR-G1 can regulate?
The AS431IANTR-G1 supports cathode voltages up to 36 V under recommended operating conditions. Absolute maximum rating is 40 V, but sustained operation above 36 V risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading long-term stability. Designers must ensure power dissipation remains within package limits using PD = (VK − VREF) × IKA.
Can the AS431IANTR-G1 drive >100 mA cathode current?
No. The datasheet specifies a continuous cathode current range of –100 mA to +150 mA, but recommended operating maximum is 100 mA. Exceeding 100 mA risks thermal runaway in SOT-23 due to its 370 mW power dissipation limit and 113°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-especially above +85°C ambient.
How does the AS431IANTR-G1 differ from standard TL431 variants?
The AS431IANTR-G1 features lower minimum cathode current (10 µA vs. 100 µA for TL431), tighter initial tolerance (0.5% vs. 1–2%), and guaranteed stability with ≥100 µF capacitive loads. It also offers wider temperature range (–40°C to +125°C vs. –40°C to +85°C for many TL431 grades) and RoHS 3/halogen-free compliance as standard.
Is the SOT-23 pinout compatible with TL431 footprints?
Yes-the AS431IANTR-G1 uses standard SOT-23 pin 1 (REF), pin 2 (ANODE), pin 3 (CATHODE), matching TL431ACDBVR and most industry-standard shunt regulators. However, layout must verify thermal pad clearance and solder mask definition per Diodes' suggested pad dimensions (X=0.80 mm, Y=0.90 mm, E=0.95 mm).
