Product details
Overview
LMV431CM5X/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 1.24-V adjustable shunt regulator in SOT-23-5 package, enabling voltage regulation from 1.24 V to 30 V via external resistor divider. It delivers 0.5% initial tolerance (LMV431B grade), 39 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 55 µA minimum cathode current, and 0.25 Ω dynamic output impedance for stable low-voltage error amplification in 3-V switching regulators and voltage monitors.
For engineers reviewing the LMV431CM5X/NOPB datasheet, LMV431CM5X/NOPB pinout, LMV431CM5X/NOPB application, or LMV431CM5X/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.24-V bandgap reference accuracy across 0°C to 70°C, compatibility with capacitive loads ≥10 nF, and functional equivalence to LMV431ACM5X/NOPB in commercial-grade shunt regulation designs.
Technical Context
The LMV431CM5X/NOPB operates as a two-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with internal 1.24-V bandgap reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier. Its cathode voltage is controlled by negative feedback from cathode to adjust pin, forming a non-inverting op-amp-like configuration where external R1/R2 sets output voltage per VCATHODE = VREF(1 + R1/R2).
It functions within 0.1–15 mA cathode current range, maintains regulation down to 55 µA, exhibits 0.25 Ω dynamic output impedance at DC, and achieves fast turn-on response suitable for error amplification in off-line 3-V switching regulators and overvoltage protection circuits.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV431ACM5X/NOPB | 1% initial tolerance (vs. 0.5% for LMV431CM5X/NOPB); otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where ±1% output accuracy is acceptable | Select LMV431ACM5X/NOPB when tighter tolerance is unnecessary and unit cost is prioritized |
| TLVH431IDBVR | 1.24-V reference, 0.5% tolerance, but rated for −40°C to 125°C and features 80-µA max IREF | Better suited for automotive under-hood or industrial high-temp environments | Choose TLVH431IDBVR only if extended temperature range or lower input current is required |
Compared with LMV431ACM5X/NOPB, LMV431CM5X/NOPB offers tighter 0.5% tolerance for higher-accuracy regulation; versus TLVH431IDBVR, it trades extended temperature rating for lower cost and proven stability in commercial 0°C–70°C power supplies.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LMV431CM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431CM5X/NOPB is specified for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C. This range is confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the SNVS041G datasheet and applies to all LMV431C-grade variants including LMV431CM5X/NOPB. Industrial-grade alternatives like LMV431AIM5X/NOPB extend to −40°C to 85°C.
How does LMV431CM5X/NOPB differ from LMV431ACM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431CM5X/NOPB has 0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance, while LMV431ACM5X/NOPB has 1% tolerance. All other electrical characteristics-including 1.24-V nominal reference, 39 ppm/°C tempco, 55 µA min cathode current, and SOT-23-5 packaging-are identical. LMV431CM5X/NOPB is the higher-accuracy variant within the same product family.
Can LMV431CM5X/NOPB be used as a voltage reference in ADC circuits?
Yes, LMV431CM5X/NOPB is commonly used as a precision 1.24-V reference for ADCs. Its 0.5% initial tolerance, 39 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 0.25 Ω dynamic output impedance provide stable, low-noise reference voltage. For optimal performance, decouple the adjust pin with a 10-nF capacitor and avoid capacitive loading on the cathode beyond 50 pF unless compensated.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in LMV431CM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431CM5X/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 55 µA to maintain regulation, as specified in the "LMV431C Electrical Characteristics" table (IZ(MIN)). This low current enables use in battery-powered voltage monitors and always-on supervision circuits where quiescent power must be minimized.
Is LMV431CM5X/NOPB pin-compatible with other LMV431 variants in SOT-23-5?
Yes, LMV431CM5X/NOPB is pin-compatible with all LMV431x variants offered in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package-including LMV431ACM5X/NOPB and LMV431BCM5X/NOPB-sharing identical pinout (Pin 1 NC, Pins 2 & 5 Anode, Pin 3 Cathode, Pin 4 Adjust) and footprint. No PCB changes are needed when upgrading between C/A/B grades in this package.
