Product details
Overview
TL432ACDBZR 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, 1 mA to 100 mA sink-current capability, and operation across −40°C to 85°C. It serves as a stable feedback element in isolated DC-DC converters, AC/DC power supplies, and servo drive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TL432ACDBZR datasheet, TL432ACDBZR pinout, TL432ACDBZR application, or TL432ACDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include its A-grade (1%) accuracy, I-temp range compatibility, low 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance, and SOT-23-3 footprint suitability for space-constrained power regulation designs.
Technical Context
The TL432ACDBZR implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal error amplifier, reference, and output transistor. Its REF–ANODE–CATHODE pinout differs from TL431, enabling distinct PCB layout configurations while maintaining identical electrical behavior and functional modes.
It operates as a two-resistor-programmable voltage source between 2.5 V and 36 V, with sharp turn-on characteristics and low temperature drift (6 mV over 0°C–70°C, 14 mV over −40°C–85°C). The device achieves stability via external compensation and exhibits low output noise and high PSRR in closed-loop feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V (nominal), ±0.5% tolerance at 25°C - enables precise feedback setpoint in regulated power supplies |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade thermal reliability without derating |
| Sink Current Range | 1 mA to 100 mA - provides sufficient drive for optocoupler biasing and error amplifier interfaces |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - ensures minimal output voltage variation under load transients |
| Reference Input Current | 2–4 µA - allows high-value resistor networks (e.g., 100 kΩ–1 MΩ) without significant divider error |
| Temperature Drift | 14 mV max over full range - guarantees <±0.05% output variation across operating temperature |
| Output Noise | Low broadband noise - critical for high-accuracy sensing and low-noise feedback loops |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (2.90 mm × 1.30 mm), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CATHODE | Shunt current/voltage input node | Connects to regulated output rail; sinks current to maintain reference voltage at REF |
| REF | Threshold input relative to ANODE | Compares against internal 2.495 V bandgap; sets regulation point via external resistor divider |
| ANODE | Common reference ground terminal | Typically tied to system ground or return path; defines voltage reference for REF input |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Output Voltage | 2.5 V to 36 V using two external resistors - replaces discrete Zener diodes with higher accuracy and stability |
| Sharp Turn-On Characteristic | Fast regulation onset below threshold - improves transient response in switching power supply feedback loops |
| Low Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - minimizes output voltage deviation during cathode current changes up to 100 mA |
| Wide Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without thermal compensation circuitry |
| Low Reference Input Current | 2–4 µA - reduces power loss and resistor-divider loading error in high-impedance feedback networks |

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL432ACDBZR at 25°C?
The TL432ACDBZR has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a nominal 2.495 V output with minimum 2.470 V and maximum 2.520 V under specified test conditions. This A-grade accuracy is confirmed in Section 6.8 of the TI datasheet SLVS543S and applies specifically to the TL432ACDBZR variant in SOT-23-3 packaging.
How does TL432ACDBZR differ from TL431ACDBZR in pin configuration?
TL432ACDBZR uses a CATHODE–REF–ANODE pinout in SOT-23-3, whereas TL431ACDBZR uses REF–ANODE–CATHODE. This reversal means direct PCB substitution is not possible without layout modification. Both share identical electrical specifications, but TL432ACDBZR's pin mapping optimizes routing for certain optocoupler-coupled feedback topologies.
What is the maximum cathode current supported by TL432ACDBZR?
TL432ACDBZR supports a continuous cathode current range of 1 mA to 100 mA per Section 6.4 of the datasheet. At 100 mA, thermal limits require careful PCB copper area design due to its SOT-23-3 package's 206°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - derating is recommended above 60 mA in still-air conditions.
Can TL432ACDBZR be used in place of a Zener diode?
Yes, TL432ACDBZR functions as a superior replacement for Zener diodes in voltage regulation and reference applications. Its sharp turn-on characteristic, 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance, and ±0.5% initial tolerance provide significantly better regulation accuracy, temperature stability, and load transient response than standard Zeners - especially in feedback networks of switching power supplies.
What is the operating temperature range for TL432ACDBZR?
TL432ACDBZR is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C (I-temp grade), as defined in Section 4 of the TI datasheet. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including reference voltage drift (≤14 mV), input current deviation (≤2.5 µA), and dynamic impedance stability - making it suitable for industrial power electronics without additional thermal compensation.
