Product details
Overview
TL431IDBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, featuring 1% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, adjustable output from 2.495 V to 36 V, and operation across −40°C to 85°C. It delivers 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance and supports 1–100 mA sink current, widely used in feedback loops of isolated DC/DC converters and AC/DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TL431IDBVRG4 datasheet, TL431IDBVRG4 pinout, TL431IDBVRG4 application, or TL431IDBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include temperature drift (14 mV over −40°C to 85°C), low output noise, cathode voltage headroom requirements, and compatibility with optocoupler-based secondary-side regulation architectures.
Technical Context
The TL431IDBVRG4 implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal 2.495 V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and NPN output stage. Its sharp turn-on characteristic and low dynamic impedance enable stable closed-loop control in switching power supply feedback paths without external compensation in many designs.
It operates as a voltage-controlled current sink: when the REF pin voltage exceeds 2.495 V, the cathode-anode path conducts proportionally to maintain regulation. The SOT-23-3 package (DBV) uses standard pinout: Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = REF - distinct from TL432 variants and incompatible with DBZ pinout variants.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | 0.5% initial tolerance (B-grade), same SOT-23-3 package and pinout | Higher accuracy required for lab-grade instrumentation or medical power supplies | Select when tighter initial regulation (±0.5%) justifies cost premium and thermal drift budget allows |
| TL431QDBVR | Extended temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), same A-grade accuracy and SOT-23-3 footprint | Under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial environments exceeding 85°C ambient | Choose for Q-temp qualification where junction temperature may exceed 85°C in sealed enclosures |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and TL431QDBVR, the TL431IDBVRG4 offers optimal balance of industrial-grade temperature coverage, 1% accuracy, and cost efficiency for general-purpose power supply feedback - avoiding over-specification where extended temp or ultra-high accuracy is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL431IDBVRG4 at 25°C?
The TL431IDBVRG4 has a reference voltage tolerance of ±1% at 25°C, corresponding to a nominal 2.495 V output with a guaranteed range of 2.470 V to 2.520 V under specified test conditions (VKA = Vref, IKA = 10 mA). This A-grade accuracy is confirmed in Section 6.8 of the TI SLVS543S datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range for TL431IDBVRG4?
The TL431IDBVRG4 is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C (I-grade), making it suitable for industrial environments. Its reference voltage drift is characterized up to ±14 mV over this full range, as documented in the TL431I electrical characteristics tables (Section 6.6).
Does TL431IDBVRG4 support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the TL431IDBVRG4 supports fully adjustable output voltage from 2.495 V to 36 V using two external resistors in a voltage divider network connected to the REF pin. The cathode-anode voltage is regulated based on the REF pin voltage relative to the anode, enabling flexible output programming without changing the IC.
What package type and pinout does TL431IDBVRG4 use?
The TL431IDBVRG4 uses the SOT-23-3 (DBV) package with standard TL431 pinout: Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = Anode, Pin 3 = REF. This differs from TL432 variants and is incompatible with SOT-23-3 TL432 pinout (Cathode/REF/Anode), as confirmed in Table 5-1 and Figure 5-1 of the datasheet.
What is the typical dynamic impedance of TL431IDBVRG4?
The TL431IDBVRG4 has a typical dynamic impedance of 0.2 Ω, measured at f ≤ 1 kHz with cathode current ranging from 1 mA to 100 mA. This low value ensures minimal output voltage variation during rapid load changes, a critical parameter for stable regulation in switching power supplies.
