Product details
Overview
TL432AQDBVTG4 from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, featuring 1% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range, and 14 mV max reference voltage deviation over full temperature range. It delivers 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance and supports 1–100 mA sink current for feedback regulation in isolated DC/DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TL432AQDBVTG4 datasheet, TL432AQDBVTG4 pinout, TL432AQDBVTG4 application, or TL432AQDBVTG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, automotive-grade thermal performance data, pin-level functional mapping, and validated alternative parts for high-reliability power control designs.
Technical Context
The TL432AQDBVTG4 implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal precision 2.495 V reference and high-gain error amplifier. Its cathode-anode-ref terminal configuration enables direct replacement of Zener diodes in closed-loop feedback paths without external biasing.
Unlike the TL431, the TL432AQDBVTG4 uses a distinct pinout (CATHODE–REF–ANODE) in the SOT-23-3 package, requiring PCB layout revision when migrating from TL431 variants. It maintains identical electrical specs-including 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance and 14 mV tempco-across the Q-temp grade.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.470–2.520 V at 25°C (1% A-grade accuracy enables ±25 mV output setpoint stability in 5 V systems) |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (Q-grade qualification supports under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive applications) |
| Ref Voltage Drift | ≤14 mV over full temperature range (ensures ≤0.56% output variation in 25 V feedback networks) |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical (minimizes load-induced output voltage sag during transient current steps up to 100 mA) |
| Sink Current Range | 1–100 mA (supports direct interface with optocoupler LEDs in flyback PSR feedback loops) |
| Output Noise | Low broadband noise (typical 160 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz), critical for low-ripple voltage sensing in precision ADC references) |
| Min Cathode Current | 0.4–0.7 mA (enables stable regulation even with high-value feedback resistors, reducing quiescent power) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (2.90 mm × 1.30 mm body size) with gull-wing leads; RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and halogen-free per TI specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: CATHODE | Shunt current input / voltage sense node | Connects to switched node in isolated DC/DC; carries full regulation current; voltage referenced to ANODE |
| Pin 2: REF | Reference threshold input | Internal 2.495 V comparator input; sets output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2)) |
| Pin 3: ANODE | Common return / ground reference | Must be connected to system ground or lowest potential point; all voltages defined relative to this pin |
Key Features

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | Rack Server Primary Side Regulation |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431AQDBVR | Same A-grade accuracy and Q-temp rating, but TL431 pinout (REF–CATHODE–ANODE) in SOT-23-3 | Requires PCB layout change due to reversed REF/CATHODE pins; not drop-in compatible | Select only if legacy TL431 footprint reuse is mandatory and board revision is feasible |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 2.5 V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 30 ppm/°C tempco, SOT-23-3 | No adjustability; lower drift but fixed voltage limits flexibility in multi-rail systems | Prefer for ultra-stable 2.5 V references where programmability is unnecessary and tighter initial tolerance is critical |
Compared with TL432AQDBVTG4, TL431AQDBVR demands trace routing changes due to inverted pinout, while MAX6008AEUR+T trades adjustability for superior initial accuracy and lower drift-making it suitable only for fixed-voltage, high-precision roles.

FAQ
What is the exact reference voltage tolerance of TL432AQDBVTG4 at 25°C?
The TL432AQDBVTG4 has a guaranteed reference voltage tolerance of ±1% at 25°C, corresponding to a 2.470 V to 2.520 V range per TI's Electrical Characteristics table for TL432AQ devices. This A-grade accuracy is measured under standard test conditions (VKA = Vref, IKA = 10 mA) and is fully specified in the official SLVS543S datasheet revision May 2024.
Does TL432AQDBVTG4 support operation at 125°C junction temperature?
Yes, TL432AQDBVTG4 is qualified for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature (Q-grade). Its maximum junction temperature is rated at 150°C, and thermal resistance (RθJA) for the SOT-23-3 package is 206°C/W-allowing safe operation at full ambient rating with appropriate PCB copper area and airflow.
How does the pinout of TL432AQDBVTG4 differ from TL431 variants?
TL432AQDBVTG4 uses CATHODE–REF–ANODE pin order (Pin 1–2–3) in SOT-23-3, whereas TL431 variants use REF–CATHODE–ANODE. This reversal means TL432AQDBVTG4 is not pin-compatible with TL431 footprints-direct substitution requires PCB layout modification to avoid misconnection and device failure.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL432AQDBVTG4?
The TL432AQDBVTG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.4–0.7 mA to maintain regulation, as specified in Section 6.10 of the datasheet. This low Imin enables use with high-value feedback resistors (e.g., 1 MΩ top resistor), reducing standby power consumption in energy-sensitive applications like IoT gateways.
Can TL432AQDBVTG4 replace a Zener diode in a linear regulator feedback loop?
Yes, TL432AQDBVTG4 is explicitly designed as a precision Zener diode replacement. With its sharp turn-on characteristic, 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance, and 1% initial accuracy, it provides superior regulation stability and temperature performance compared to discrete Zeners-especially in adjustable 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V linear regulator feedback paths.
