Product details
Overview
LMV431IM5X/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 1.24-V adjustable shunt regulator in SOT-23-5 package, designed for low-voltage (1.24 V to 30 V) voltage reference and error amplification in power management circuits. It delivers 0.5% initial tolerance (LMV431B-grade), 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 offline switching regulators and low-dropout series regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LMV431IM5X/NOPB datasheet, LMV431IM5X/NOPB pinout, LMV431IM5X/NOPB application, or LMV431IM5X/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin assignments, confirmed industrial-temperature (-40°C to +85°C) performance data, and real-world implementation guidance for shunt-based feedback loops, overvoltage protection, and current-source designs.
Technical Context
The LMV431IM5X/NOPB implements a band-gap referenced shunt regulator with an internal 1.24-V reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier. Its cathode voltage is controlled via negative feedback from cathode to adjust pin - operating like a non-inverting op-amp configuration with external resistor divider gain setting.
It achieves stability with capacitive loads from 1 pF to 10 kΩ and supports fast turn-on response. The device functions across −40°C to +85°C, exhibits 6 mV max reference deviation over temperature, and maintains low 0.25 Ω dynamic output impedance at 0.1–15 mA cathode current range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.24 V (typical), ±0.5% initial accuracy at 25°C - enables precise voltage setpoint in feedback networks |
| Temperature Coefficient | 39 ppm/°C - ensures <±6 mV drift over full −40°C to +85°C range for industrial applications |
| Dynamic Output Impedance | 0.25 Ω (typical) - minimizes output voltage variation under load transients in shunt-regulated supplies |
| Minimum Cathode Current | 55 µA - defines lowest operating current for stable regulation; critical for ultra-low-power biasing |
| Operating Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Cathode Voltage Range | 1.24 V to 30 V - supports wide output adjustment in series/shunt topologies |
| Reference Input Current | 0.15–0.5 µA - enables high-impedance feedback dividers with minimal loading error |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not internally connected. Pin 1 is NC; Pin 2 is internally tied to Anode and must be left floating or connected to Anode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | No Connect (NC) | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected on PCB |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Internally connected to Anode terminal; may be left floating or tied to external Anode node |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Output terminal; sinks current to regulate voltage at external divider node |
| Pin 4 | Adjust | Feedback input; connects to voltage divider midpoint to set regulated cathode voltage |
| Pin 5 | Anode | Main Anode connection; ties to system ground or return path in shunt configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | 1.24-V reference enables regulation down to 1.24 V - suitable for 1.8-V and 3-V systems |
| 0.5% initial tolerance | LMV431B-grade accuracy reduces need for post-production trimming in precision feedback paths |
| Low 55-µA regulation threshold | Enables stable operation in battery-powered or energy-harvesting circuits with microamp-level standby current |
| 0.25-Ω dynamic output impedance | Minimizes voltage droop during step-load changes - improves transient response in closed-loop regulators |
| Stable with 1 pF–10 kΩ capacitive loads | Eliminates need for external compensation in most applications, including ceramic-output capacitor designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBVR | 1.24-V reference, 1% initial tolerance, SOT-23-5, −40°C to +125°C rating | Higher max junction temperature; wider operating range but looser initial accuracy | Select when extended temperature range is required and 1% tolerance is acceptable |
| LM4040CIM3-ADJ/NOPB | 1.2-V adjustable shunt reference, 0.5% tolerance, SOT-23-3, 65 ppm/°C TC | 3-pin package, higher tempco, no internal amplifier - requires external op-amp for active regulation | Select when board space is constrained and only passive reference function is needed |
Compared with TLVH431ACDBVR and LM4040CIM3-ADJ/NOPB, the LMV431IM5X/NOPB offers tighter 0.5% tolerance and lower 39 ppm/°C temperature coefficient in a 5-pin SOT-23 package that integrates the error amplifier - eliminating external components required by two-terminal references.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LMV431IM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431IM5X/NOPB is rated for industrial operation from −40°C to +85°C. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the official TI datasheet SNVS041G. The device maintains its 0.5% initial tolerance and 39 ppm/°C temperature coefficient across this full range, making it suitable for harsh-environment applications without thermal derating.
How does the LMV431IM5X/NOPB differ from the LMV431ACM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431IM5X/NOPB features the "I" grade (industrial temperature range: −40°C to +85°C) and "B" accuracy grade (0.5% initial tolerance), while the LMV431ACM5X/NOPB uses the "A" grade (1% tolerance) and "C" temperature grade (0°C to +70°C). Both share identical SOT-23-5 packaging and core electrical characteristics, but LMV431IM5X/NOPB is specified for broader environmental use and tighter voltage accuracy.
Can the LMV431IM5X/NOPB replace a Zener diode in existing designs?
Yes - the LMV431IM5X/NOPB can directly replace standard Zener diodes in shunt regulator and voltage reference applications. Its 1.24-V reference, adjustable up to 30 V via external resistors, low 0.25-Ω dynamic impedance, and superior temperature stability provide more predictable and accurate performance than discrete Zeners, especially below 3.3 V.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in the LMV431IM5X/NOPB?
The LMV431IM5X/NOPB requires a minimum cathode current of 55 µA (typical) to maintain regulation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for IZ(MIN) under LMV431BI conditions. This low threshold enables reliable operation in ultra-low-power applications such as battery-backed monitoring circuits and sleep-mode power rails.
Is the LMV431IM5X/NOPB stable with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the LMV431IM5X/NOPB is stable with capacitive loads ranging from 1 pF to 10 kΩ, as documented in Figure 19 (Stability Boundary Condition) of the TI datasheet. This includes common X7R and C0G ceramic capacitors used in modern compact power designs, eliminating the need for series resistance or tantalum alternatives.
