Product details
Overview
AS431IBZTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a three-terminal adjustable precision shunt regulator with 1.0% initial reference voltage tolerance (2.5 V), low minimum cathode current (50 µA max), 0.15 Ω dynamic impedance, and operation from –40°C to +125°C. It replaces Zener diodes in feedback loops of switching power supplies, battery chargers, and precision voltage references where thermal stability and capacitive-load immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AS431IBZTR-G1 datasheet, AS431IBZTR-G1 pinout, AS431IBZTR-G1 application, or AS431IBZTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include cathode current regulation threshold, reference voltage drift over temperature (±4.5 mV typical), output impedance under load, and SOT-23 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AS431IBZTR-G1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an NPN pass transistor, enabling precise 2.5 V reference generation independent of cathode voltage up to 36 V. Its sharp turn-on characteristic and low ∆VREF/∆VKA (–0.5 to –2.0 mV/V) ensure stable regulation across wide input variations.
Designed for closed-loop feedback in DC-DC converters, it sinks 50 µA–100 mA cathode current while maintaining <0.5 Ω dynamic impedance at 1–100 mA and delivering <4.5 mV reference deviation from –40°C to +125°C - meeting requirements for industrial-grade power management systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage (VREF) | 2.500 V ±1.0% at +25°C - sets output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2)) |
| Min Cathode Current (IKA min) | 50 µA max - enables regulation at ultra-low bias currents, supporting standby-mode power supply designs |
| Dynamic Impedance (ZKA) | 0.15 Ω typical at 1–100 mA - ensures minimal output voltage perturbation during load transients |
| Temp Coefficient (∆VREF) | ±4.5 mV typical over –40°C to +125°C - guarantees <0.18% reference drift, critical for precision feedback |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and telecom power systems |
| Cathode Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 36 V - supports wide-input buck, flyback, and forward converter topologies without external clamping |
| Package | SOT-23 - surface-mount, 3-pin footprint (REF/ANODE/CATHODE), compatible with automated assembly and thermal relief pads |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package: 3-pin, small-outline transistor outline with gull-wing leads; JEDEC MO-178 compliant; thermal resistance θJC = 113°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (REF) | Reference Input | High-impedance node sensing internal 2.5 V bandgap; connects to resistor divider midpoint in feedback loop |
| Pin 2 (ANODE) | Anode Terminal | Connected to system ground or return path; completes shunt current path through external resistors |
| Pin 3 (CATHODE) | Cathode Output | Sinks regulated current into primary-side controller IC (e.g., PWM IC COMP pin); sets feedback voltage level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Output Voltage | 2.5 V to 36 V via two-resistor divider - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage Zeners in BOM |
| Low Minimum Cathode Current | 50 µA max - enables stable regulation in low-power standby and light-load conditions without auxiliary bias winding |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with ≥0.01 µF to 100 µF output capacitance - prevents oscillation in noisy switcher environments without added compensation |
| Lead-Free & Green Compliance | RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), halogen-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements |
| Wide Temperature Operation | –40°C to +125°C junction range - supports industrial and extended-temperature applications without derating |

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 | 2.5 V ±0.5% tolerance, higher IKA(min) (100 µA), SOT-23-3, same pinout | Better initial accuracy but higher minimum cathode current limits use in ultra-low-power standby | Select when tighter reference tolerance is required and system can support ≥100 µA bias current |
| AP431SAG-13 | Same 1.0% tolerance, lower ZKA (0.10 Ω typ), improved noise performance, SOT-23 | Superior dynamic regulation for high-frequency sync-buck controllers; not recommended for new designs per Diodes' note | Prefer for noise-sensitive applications if legacy design allows; verify lifecycle status before long-term sourcing |
Compared with TL431BIDBZR and AP431SAG-13, AS431IBZTR-G1 offers optimal balance of low minimum cathode current (50 µA max), industrial temperature range, and RoHS 3/Green compliance - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding power adapter and charger designs requiring reliable long-term availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode voltage rating for AS431IBZTR-G1?
The absolute maximum cathode-to-anode voltage (VKA) is 40 V, with recommended operating range up to 36 V. Exceeding 36 V risks violating the specified ∆VREF/∆VKA specification and may increase reference voltage drift beyond datasheet limits.
Can AS431IBZTR-G1 drive a 100 µF output capacitor without oscillation?
Yes - the device is characterized for stable operation with load capacitance from 0.01 µF to 100 µF across cathode currents of 1–100 mA. No external compensation is needed, as confirmed by stability boundary plots in DS36816 Rev. 4–3, page 8.
How does the 1.0% reference voltage tolerance affect output accuracy in a 12 V power supply?
In a 12 V design using R1/R2 = 3.8, the 1.0% VREF tolerance contributes ±0.12 V (±1%) to total output error. Combined with resistor tolerance and temperature drift, total accuracy remains within ±2% - sufficient for most Class II AC-DC adapters per IEC 61347.
Is AS431IBZTR-G1 pin-compatible with TL431 in SOT-23 packages?
Yes - both use identical SOT-23 pinout (Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = ANODE, Pin 3 = CATHODE) and share functional equivalence. However, AS431IBZTR-G1 draws only 50 µA minimum cathode current versus TL431's 100 µA, enabling direct drop-in replacement in low-bias designs.
