Product details
Overview
TL431BIDBVR from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering 2.495 V nominal reference voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, 14 mV max temperature drift over −40°C to 125°C, and 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance. It operates as an adjustable feedback element in isolated DC-DC converters and secondary-side regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TL431BIDBVR datasheet, TL431BIDBVR pinout, TL431BIDBVR application, or TL431BIDBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-grade temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), B-grade accuracy, SOT-23-3 footprint compatibility, and sink-current capability up to 100 mA in high-reliability power control loops.
Technical Context
The TL431BIDBVR implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal precision op-amp and NPN transistor output stage. Its reference input (REF) compares against an internal 2.495 V bandgap, controlling cathode current flow between CATHODE and ANODE terminals to maintain regulated voltage across external resistive dividers.
It features active output circuitry enabling sharp turn-on characteristics and low 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance below 1 kHz, making it suitable for closed-loop feedback in switching power supplies where stability and noise rejection are critical. The device supports adjustable output voltages from 2.495 V to 36 V using two external resistors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BQDBVR | Same B-grade accuracy and Q-temp rating, but SOT-23-3 package with identical pinout | No functional difference; TL431BQDBVR is alternate orderable part number for same device | Select TL431BQDBVR only if required by procurement policy; electrically and mechanically identical to TL431BIDBVR |
| TLVH431BQDBVR | Lower 1.24 V reference voltage, 0.5% tolerance, same Q-temp range, higher 20 µA max reference current | Requires redesign of feedback divider; suited for sub-2.5 V regulation or low-voltage logic supply monitoring | Choose TLVH431BQDBVR when 1.24 V reference is needed; not drop-in compatible due to different Vref and Iref |
Compared with TL431BIDBVR, TL431BQDBVR offers identical performance in the same package, while TLVH431BQDBVR provides lower reference voltage at the cost of higher reference current and non-interchangeable feedback network design.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL431BIDBVR at 25°C?
The TL431BIDBVR has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a 2.495 V nominal value with ±12.5 mV deviation. This B-grade accuracy is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for TL431BQ devices and confirmed across all Q-temp variants including TL431BIDBVR per TI SLVS543S Rev May 2024.
Does TL431BIDBVR support operation at 125°C?
Yes, TL431BIDBVR is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C (Q-grade). Its maximum temperature drift is 14 mV over this full range, verified in the VI(dev) parameter for TL431BQ devices in Section 6.13 of the datasheet, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments.
What is the dynamic impedance of TL431BIDBVR and why does it matter?
The TL431BIDBVR has a typical dynamic impedance of 0.2 Ω at frequencies ≤1 kHz. This low value ensures minimal voltage variation under changing load conditions in feedback loops, directly improving regulation accuracy and transient response in switching power supplies without requiring additional compensation components.
Can TL431BIDBVR replace a Zener diode in voltage regulation circuits?
Yes, TL431BIDBVR is explicitly designed as a superior replacement for Zener diodes in precision regulation applications. Its sharp turn-on characteristic, adjustable 2.495–36 V output range, and 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance provide better stability, lower temperature drift, and higher accuracy than discrete Zener solutions in on-board regulation and SMPS feedback paths.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for cathode voltage and current in TL431BIDBVR?
The TL431BIDBVR has an absolute maximum cathode voltage (VKA) of 37 V and continuous cathode current (IKA) range of −100 mA to +150 mA. These ratings are defined in Section 6.1 of the datasheet and apply regardless of grade or package; operation beyond these limits risks permanent device damage.
