Product details
Overview
ATL432LIAQDBZR from Texas Instruments is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with 1% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, 2.5 V minimum output voltage, and operation across −40°C to +125°C. It sinks cathode current up to 15 mA, features 0.3 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and replaces Zener diodes in secondary-side regulation of flyback SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the ATL432LIAQDBZR datasheet, ATL432LIAQDBZR pinout, ATL432LIAQDBZR application, or ATL432LIAQDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-temp automotive qualification, low 0.4 µA max reference input current, sharp turn-on characteristic, and SOT-23-3 package compatibility with TL432LI while offering lower minimum operating current.
Technical Context
The ATL432LIAQDBZR implements an internal precision voltage reference (2.5 V ±1%) and high-gain error amplifier driving a Darlington sink output stage. Its functional architecture enables closed-loop voltage regulation via external resistive feedback between cathode and reference pins, or open-loop comparator operation with integrated reference.
It operates as a programmable shunt regulator over 2.5 V to 36 V output range using two external resistors, with thermal stability characterized for automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and maximum 27 mV reference voltage drift over that range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL432LIQDBZR | Same pinout and electrical specs, but higher 1.5 µA max reference current and 0.5% initial tolerance (B grade) | Better accuracy for precision references; higher IREF increases divider error in high-Z networks | Select TL432LIQDBZR when ±0.5% initial tolerance is required and reference current loading is acceptable |
| ATL431LIAQDBZR | Identical functionality and specs, but different DBZ pinout: REF and ANODE swapped vs ATL432LIAQDBZR | Requires PCB layout revision; not pin-compatible despite same package and function | Select ATL431LIAQDBZR only if redesigning board layout to match its REF/ANODE pin assignment |
Compared with TL432LIQDBZR, ATL432LIAQDBZR trades 0.5% accuracy for lower 0.4 µA reference current-critical for high-impedance feedback-and compared with ATL431LIAQDBZR, it offers identical performance with a pinout optimized for legacy TL432LI layouts, avoiding redesign.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of ATL432LIAQDBZR at 25°C?
The ATL432LIAQDBZR has a reference voltage tolerance of ±1% at 25°C, corresponding to its "A" grade designation. This means the internal 2.5 V reference falls within 2.475 V to 2.525 V at room temperature, directly impacting the accuracy of any voltage or current setpoint derived from it in feedback configurations.
Does ATL432LIAQDBZR require an external capacitor for stability?
No, ATL432LIAQDBZR is internally compensated and does not require an external capacitor between cathode and anode for basic stability. However, when used with capacitive loads or in high-frequency feedback loops (e.g., optocoupler-based SMPS), stability boundary charts in the datasheet must be consulted to select appropriate load capacitance and series resistance to avoid oscillation.
What is the maximum cathode current rating for ATL432LIAQDBZR?
The ATL432LIAQDBZR supports a maximum continuous cathode current of 15 mA, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This current capacity enables direct driving of standard optocoupler LEDs in isolated power supply feedback paths and supports precision constant-current sink applications up to this limit.
How does the pinout of ATL432LIAQDBZR differ from ATL431LIAQDBZR?
ATL432LIAQDBZR uses a DBZ (SOT-23-3) pinout where Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE. In contrast, ATL431LIAQDBZR has Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = ANODE, Pin 3 = REF - meaning REF and ANODE are swapped. This makes them functionally identical but not pin-compatible; board layout changes are required for substitution.
Is ATL432LIAQDBZR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, ATL432LIAQDBZR carries the "Q" suffix indicating qualification for automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and is characterized per AEC-Q100 requirements. Its 27 mV maximum reference voltage drift over this range and robust ESD ratings (±2000 V HBM) confirm suitability for under-hood and body electronics applications.
