Product details
Overview
TL431BIDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, featuring 0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, adjustable output from 2.495 V to 36 V, and operation across −40°C to 125°C. It delivers 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance, 1–100 mA sink-current capability, and low 14 mV max temperature drift (Q-grade), making it ideal for feedback regulation in isolated DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the TL431BIDBZR datasheet, TL431BIDBZR pinout, TL431BIDBZR application, or TL431BIDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-grade temperature range, B-grade accuracy, SOT-23-3 footprint compatibility, and verified stability with capacitive loads up to 10 µF in power supply feedback loops.
Technical Context
The TL431BIDBZR implements an internal bandgap reference, error amplifier, and NPN pass transistor in a three-terminal shunt topology. Its REF pin senses voltage relative to ANODE, triggering cathode current draw when the divider ratio exceeds VREF, enabling precise closed-loop regulation without external op-amps.
Designed for high-stability feedback paths, it exhibits sharp turn-on characteristics and low 1.2 µA max reference input current deviation over temperature. The device's 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance and −1.4 to −2.7 mV/V cathode voltage sensitivity ensure minimal output perturbation under load transients and input ripple.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V ±12 mV at 25°C (B-grade); sets precise feedback threshold for power supply regulation |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C; enables tight output voltage control without post-manufacturing trimming |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (Q-grade); supports automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical; maintains stable reference voltage under fast cathode current changes (1–100 mA) |
| Ref Input Current | 2–4 µA typical; minimizes resistor-divider loading error in high-impedance feedback networks |
| Min Cathode Current | 0.4–0.7 mA; ensures reliable regulation start-up even with light-load or high-resistance dividers |
| Off-State Leakage | 0.1–0.5 µA max at 36 V; prevents unintended conduction in shutdown or fault conditions |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: REF | Reference input | Senses voltage divider output; triggers regulation when ≥2.495 V above ANODE |
| Pin 2: CATHODE | Current sink output | Draws adjustable current to maintain REF voltage; connects to optocoupler LED or error amp input |
| Pin 3: ANODE | Common reference node | Typically tied to system ground or return path; all voltages referenced to this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable shunt regulation | Output set from 2.495 V to 36 V using two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed references |
| Low temperature drift | 14 mV max deviation over −40°C to +125°C - ensures <±0.5% output variation in wide-temp applications |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | Fast transition from off-state to full conduction - improves transient response in switching regulator feedback |
| Low output noise | Sub-20 µVRMS (0.1–10 Hz); critical for low-noise analog sensing and precision DAC references |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BQDBZR | Same B-grade accuracy and Q-temp rating, but SOT-23-3 package with identical pinout | No functional difference; TL431BQDBZR is TI's orderable designation for same device | Select TL431BQDBZR if ordering directly from TI's official part numbering system |

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL431BIDBZR at 25°C?
The TL431BIDBZR has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a 2.495 V nominal output with a guaranteed range of 2.483 V to 2.507 V. This B-grade accuracy is specified in Section 6.13 of the TI SLVS543S datasheet and applies across the full operating temperature range when combined with its Q-grade rating.
Does TL431BIDBZR support operation at −40°C to +125°C?
Yes, TL431BIDBZR is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C (Q-grade). Its electrical characteristics-including reference voltage deviation (max ±34 mV), reference input current drift (max ±2.5 µA), and dynamic impedance-are fully specified across this extended industrial/automotive temperature range per TI's SLVS543S datasheet Section 6.13.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL431BIDBZR?
The TL431BIDBZR requires a minimum cathode current of 0.4 mA to 0.7 mA for stable regulation, depending on temperature and operating conditions. This value is specified in Section 6.13 of the TI datasheet as "Imin" and ensures reliable turn-on and closed-loop control in high-resistance feedback networks.
Can TL431BIDBZR replace a Zener diode in power supply designs?
Yes, TL431BIDBZR is explicitly designed as a superior replacement for Zener diodes in voltage regulation applications. Its sharp turn-on characteristic, 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance, and adjustable 2.495–36 V output eliminate Zener limitations like poor temperature stability, high impedance, and fixed voltage options-especially in feedback loops of switching power supplies.
What package type does TL431BIDBZR use, and what are its dimensions?
TL431BIDBZR uses the SOT-23-3 package with nominal body dimensions of 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm. Pin configuration is REF (Pin 1), CATHODE (Pin 2), ANODE (Pin 3), matching the standard TL431 DBZ footprint. This compact, surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained power modules.
