Product details
Overview
AZ432ANTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a low-voltage (1.25V) adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT-23-3 package, delivering 0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance, 20 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, and 0.05Ω typical dynamic output impedance. It operates from -40°C to +125°C with cathode current capability up to 100mA, and serves as a Zener diode replacement in PC motherboard voltage regulation and switching power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the AZ432ANTR-G1 datasheet, AZ432ANTR-G1 pinout, AZ432ANTR-G1 application, or AZ432ANTR-G1 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SOT-23 pin mapping, confirmed thermal stability specs, and real-world use cases in precision voltage setting circuits requiring stable 1.25–18V programmability.
Technical Context
The AZ432ANTR-G1 implements a bandgap-based precision reference core with sharp turn-on characteristics and low output impedance, enabling stable closed-loop regulation without external compensation in most applications. Its reference input current remains below 0.4 µA across temperature, minimizing resistor-divider loading error.
It functions as a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator: cathode sinks current to ground via an external resistor network, while the reference pin senses the regulated node. The device maintains regulation down to 55 µA minimum cathode current and exhibits <15 mV total reference voltage drift over -40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Tempco | 20 ppm/°C typical - ensures <±4 mV drift over full -40°C to +125°C range |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.05 Ω typical - maintains tight regulation under fast load transients |
| Cathode Current Range | 0.1 mA to 100 mA - supports wide output power scaling in shunt configurations |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems |
| Output Noise | Low - enables clean feedback in high-PSRR DC-DC converters |
| Min Cathode Current | 55 µA - allows regulation at ultra-low quiescent power in standby modes |
Pinout & Package
AZ432ANTR-G1 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, green-band SOT-23-3 plastic package (JEDEC TO-236AB), with 1.3 mm height and 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint. Thermal resistance θJC is 84.84°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CATHODE) | Current sink terminal | Connects to regulated output node; sinks all error current to ground |
| 2 (ANODE) | Ground reference | Must be tied to system ground; substrate-connected in SOT-23 |
| 3 (REF) | Precision reference input | Senses feedback divider midpoint; draws only 0.15–0.4 µA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable output range | 1.25 V to 18 V using two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed references |
| Capacitive load stability | Stable with ≥10 µF output capacitance - simplifies EMI filtering without phase compensation |
| Low temp deviation | 3 mV typical over 0°C to +70°C - reduces calibration burden in consumer-grade systems |
| High sink current capacity | 100 mA max cathode current - supports >1 W dissipation in shunt mode with proper heatsinking |
| Low output impedance | 0.05 Ω typical - minimizes output voltage shift under 10 mA load step changes |

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 | 2.495 V fixed reference; 2% initial tolerance; higher 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance | Requires level-shifting circuitry for 1.25 V setpoints; less suitable for low-voltage rails | Choose when legacy design compatibility or higher reference voltage is required |
| AZ431LARTR-G1 | Same 1.25 V base, but 1.5% tolerance and 50 ppm/°C tempco; SOT-23-3 pin-compatible | Lower cost alternative where ±1.5% output accuracy is acceptable | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications where tighter regulation is not mandatory |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and AZ431LARTR-G1, AZ432ANTR-G1 delivers superior 0.5% initial accuracy and 20 ppm/°C stability-critical for high-precision feedback in server PSUs and telecom power modules-while maintaining identical SOT-23-3 footprint and biasing behavior.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in AZ432ANTR-G1?
The AZ432ANTR-G1 requires a minimum cathode current of 55 µA to maintain regulation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under IKA(Min). This low threshold enables stable operation in ultra-low-power standby circuits and battery-backed systems where current budget is constrained.
Can AZ432ANTR-G1 replace TL431 in existing designs?
Yes, AZ432ANTR-G1 is pin-compatible with TL431 in SOT-23-3 layout and shares identical cathode-anode-reference pinout. However, its 1.25 V reference voltage differs from TL431's 2.495 V, so resistor divider values must be recalculated to achieve the same output voltage. No other circuit changes are needed.
Is AZ432ANTR-G1 suitable for automotive applications?
AZ432ANTR-G1 is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation and meets industrial reliability standards, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications, Diodes recommends contacting their automotive team for PPAP-capable alternatives such as the AZ432Q series, which undergoes additional qualification testing.
How does the 0.5% reference voltage tolerance impact system-level accuracy?
The 0.5% initial tolerance directly limits the worst-case output voltage error in resistor-programmed configurations. For example, in a 5 V output design using R1/R2 = 3, the reference tolerance contributes ±25 mV error before considering resistor tolerances and temperature drift-making it suitable for applications requiring ≤±3% total output accuracy.
