Product details
Overview
LMV431ACM5X/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 1.24-V adjustable shunt regulator in SOT-23-5 package, designed for voltage reference, error amplification, and overvoltage monitoring in low-voltage systems. It delivers 0.5% initial tolerance (at 25°C), 39 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 55 µA minimum cathode current for regulation, and 0.25 Ω dynamic output impedance - enabling stable operation in 3-V off-line switching regulators and low-dropout series regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LMV431ACM5X/NOPB datasheet, LMV431ACM5X/NOPB pinout, LMV431ACM5X/NOPB application, or LMV431ACM5X/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.24 V reference accuracy across 0°C to 70°C, compatibility with capacitive loads from 1 pF to 10 kΩ, and functional equivalence to Zener diodes below 2.7 V while offering superior thermal stability and lower operating current.
Technical Context
The LMV431ACM5X/NOPB implements a band-gap reference core with negative feedback from cathode to adjust pin, functioning like a non-inverting op-amp configuration. Its internal architecture enables programmable output voltage from 1.24 V to 30 V via external resistor divider, with guaranteed regulation down to 55 µA cathode current.
It operates within 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range and supports stable performance with capacitive loads ≥1 pF and ≤10 kΩ. The device exhibits fast turn-on response and low 0.25 Ω dynamic output impedance, making it suitable for closed-loop feedback in switching power supplies and precision voltage monitors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | Same 1.24 V reference, ±0.5% tolerance, but rated for −40°C to 125°C; higher 80 µA min cathode current | Better suited for automotive under-hood use; less ideal for ultra-low-power battery apps due to higher IZ(MIN) | Select TLVH431ACDBVR when extended temperature range or AEC-Q200 compliance is required |
| AS431ARTDT-33 | 1.24 V reference, ±1% tolerance, 100 µA min cathode current, SOT-23-3 package (no NC pin) | Limited adjustability range (up to 24 V); lacks pin 1 NC and pin 5 redundancy; lower accuracy | Choose AS431ARTDT-33 only for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where 1% tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and AS431ARTDT-33, the LMV431ACM5X/NOPB offers optimal balance of accuracy (±0.5%), ultra-low regulation current (55 µA), and commercial-temperature reliability - making it preferred for space-constrained, battery-powered industrial sensors and 3-V switching regulators requiring tight feedback control.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy of LMV431ACM5X/NOPB over temperature?
The LMV431ACM5X/NOPB has a reference voltage of 1.24 V with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C and a maximum deviation of ±12 mV over the full 0°C to 70°C operating range, corresponding to a temperature coefficient of 39 ppm/°C as specified in the LMV431AC Electrical Characteristics table.
Can LMV431ACM5X/NOPB operate with very small capacitive loads?
Yes, the LMV431ACM5X/NOPB is stable with capacitive loads as low as 1 pF and as high as 10 kΩ, per Figure 19 in the SNVS041G datasheet. This eliminates the need for external compensation in most shunt regulator configurations, including those driving ADC reference inputs or op-amp bias networks.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in LMV431ACM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431ACM5X/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 55 µA to maintain regulation, as confirmed in Section 7.7 (LMV431AC Electrical Characteristics). This ultra-low IZ(MIN) enables use in micropower applications such as battery voltage monitors and energy-harvesting systems.
How does the pin configuration of LMV431ACM5X/NOPB differ from 3-pin variants?
The LMV431ACM5X/NOPB uses a 5-pin SOT-23-5 (DBV) package with Pin 1 unconnected and Pin 5 redundantly tied to Anode. Unlike 3-pin SOT-23 versions (e.g., LMV431AIMF/NOPB), this layout provides enhanced thermal dissipation and layout flexibility for high-precision PCB routing, while maintaining identical electrical functionality.
Is LMV431ACM5X/NOPB compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, LMV431ACM5X/NOPB features Sn (tin) lead finish and is rated for Level-1 moisture sensitivity with peak reflow temperature of 260°C, fully compliant with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standard for lead-free soldering. Its SOT-23-5 package supports standard reflow profiles without special handling.
