Product details
Overview
TL431BIDBZTG4 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 - used for feedback regulation in isolated DC/DC converters and AC/DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TL431BIDBZTG4 datasheet, TL431BIDBZTG4 pinout, TL431BIDBZTG4 application, or TL431BIDBZTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-grade automotive temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), B-grade accuracy, low-noise operation, and compatibility with adjustable output configurations from 2.5 V to 36 V.
Technical Context
The TL431BIDBZTG4 implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal error amplifier, reference, and output transistor. Its REF–ANODE–CATHODE topology enables precise voltage sensing and current sinking up to 100 mA, with sharp turn-on characteristics replacing Zener diodes in closed-loop feedback paths.
It operates across −40°C to 125°C (Q-grade), features 2 µA typical reference input current, 0.4 mA minimum cathode current for regulation, and maintains stability with load capacitance up to 1 µF under defined bias conditions - critical for flyback and forward converter compensation networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V nominal (2.483–2.507 V min/max at 25°C); sets precise feedback threshold in SMPS error amplifiers. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C (B grade); enables tight output voltage regulation without trimming in production. |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (Q grade); qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial high-temp environments. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical; ensures stable loop response and minimal output perturbation under load transients. |
| Cathode Current | 1–100 mA sink capability; supports direct drive of optocoupler LEDs in isolated feedback circuits. |
| Ref Input Current | 2–4 µA typical; allows high-value resistor dividers (>1 MΩ) to minimize power loss in voltage sensing. |
| Temp Drift | 14 mV max deviation over full range; translates to ~12 ppm/°C average TC for stable long-term accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (2.90 mm × 1.30 mm), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 = REF (input), Pin 2 = CATHODE (output/sink), Pin 3 = ANODE (common return).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Reference input node | High-impedance comparator input tied to internal 2.495 V bandgap; connects to resistor divider midpoint. |
| CATHODE (Pin 2) | Current-sink output terminal | Drives external circuit (e.g., optocoupler LED); voltage at this pin regulates system output via feedback loop. |
| ANODE (Pin 3) | Common return/reference ground | Typically connected to system ground or power supply return; defines reference potential for REF and CATHODE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 2.5 V to 36 V via two-resistor divider - enables single-part support across diverse supply rails. |
| Low output noise | Sub-20 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz); minimizes jitter in precision voltage monitoring and analog control loops. |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | Fast transition (<1 µs rise time) between off and regulation states - improves transient response in SMPS. |
| Thermal stability | 14 mV max Vref deviation over −40°C to 125°C - eliminates need for external temperature compensation. |
| Robust ESD rating | ±2000 V HBM - withstands handling and board-level assembly without protection circuitry. |

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 range; SOT-23-3 package, identical pinout and electrical specs. | No functional difference; alternate TI orderable part with same performance and footprint. | Select TL431BQDBZR if preferred for tape-and-reel packaging or alternate distribution channel availability. |
| AS431BQTR-G1 | ±0.5% initial tolerance, −40°C to 125°C, but higher 20 mV max temp drift and 0.35 Ω typical ZKA. | Acceptable in less demanding industrial applications where tighter drift isn't required. | Choose AS431BQTR-G1 only when cost sensitivity outweighs need for lowest drift and impedance. |
Compared with TL431BIDBZTG4, TL431BQDBZR offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility, while AS431BQTR-G1 trades minor drift and impedance degradation for lower unit cost in non-critical regulation roles.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL431BIDBZTG4 at 25°C?
The TL431BIDBZTG4 has a ±0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, corresponding to a 2.483 V to 2.507 V range around the nominal 2.495 V. This B-grade accuracy is specified per TI's SLVS543S datasheet Section 6.13 and enables high-precision feedback without post-manufacturing calibration. TL431BIDBZTG4 maintains this tolerance across its full operating temperature range.
Does TL431BIDBZTG4 support operation at automotive temperatures?
Yes, TL431BIDBZTG4 is rated for −40°C to +125°C operation (Q-grade), making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with extreme thermal stress. Its 14 mV maximum reference voltage deviation over this range is verified in TI's Electrical Characteristics Table 6.13 and confirmed in Figure 6-1 of the datasheet.
What is the cathode current capability of TL431BIDBZTG4?
TL431BIDBZTG4 supports continuous cathode current from 1 mA to 100 mA, with a minimum regulation current of 0.4 mA. This sink-current range allows direct interfacing with optocoupler LEDs in isolated SMPS feedback paths and accommodates varying loop gain requirements. The 100 mA upper limit is defined in Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 6.1).
How does the pinout of TL431BIDBZTG4 differ from TL432 variants?
TL431BIDBZTG4 uses the standard TL431 DBZ (SOT-23-3) pinout: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE. TL432 variants have reversed CATHODE and REF pins (Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF), making them non-interchangeable without PCB redesign. This distinction is explicitly documented in TI's Pin Configuration and Functions section (Figure 5-1).
Can TL431BIDBZTG4 replace a Zener diode in voltage regulation circuits?
Yes, TL431BIDBZTG4 is designed as a precision replacement for Zener diodes in shunt regulation applications. Its active error amplifier provides sharper turn-on, lower dynamic impedance (0.2 Ω vs. typical Zener's >10 Ω), and superior temperature stability. It requires only two external resistors to set output voltage from 2.5 V to 36 V - unlike fixed-voltage Zeners - and is widely used in adjustable power supplies and SMPS feedback networks.
