Product details
Overview
TL432AQDBZRG4 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 TL432AQDBZRG4 datasheet, TL432AQDBZRG4 pinout, TL432AQDBZRG4 application, or TL432AQDBZRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade thermal stability (Q-temp), SOT-23-3 footprint compatibility, adjustable output from 2.47 V to 36 V via two external resistors, and low-noise operation critical for closed-loop voltage sensing.
Technical Context
The TL432AQDBZRG4 implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal precision bandgap reference and high-gain error amplifier. Its REF–ANODE–CATHODE pinout differs from TL431, enabling direct integration into compact feedback networks without layout rework when replacing legacy TL431 designs in Q-temp applications.
It operates as a voltage-controlled current sink: when the REF pin voltage exceeds 2.47 V (min), the device pulls cathode current to maintain regulation. Thermal drift is stabilized by on-die compensation, yielding ≤34 mV total deviation across −40°C to +125°C - verified per TL432AQ electrical characteristics table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.47–2.52 V at 25°C (1% A-grade tolerance); sets minimum adjustable output of external resistor divider. |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (Q-grade); qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments. |
| Vref Deviation | Max ±14 mV over full temperature range; ensures <±0.56% output voltage drift in 25 V systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431AQDBZR | Same A-grade tolerance and Q-temp rating, but TL431 pinout (REF–ANODE–CATHODE vs TL432's CATHODE–REF–ANODE). | Requires PCB layout revision due to reversed REF/CATHODE pins; not drop-in compatible. | Select only if redesigning feedback network layout and leveraging TL431's broader design documentation base. |
| TLVH431AQDBZR | Lower 1.24 V reference (vs 2.47 V), 1% tolerance, same Q-temp range; higher 20 µA ref current. | Better suited for low-voltage rails (<5 V); unsuitable for 12 V+ outputs without level-shifting. | Choose when designing sub-3.3 V auxiliary supplies where lower Vref improves divider resolution and reduces power loss. |
Compared with TL431AQDBZR, TL432AQDBZRG4 avoids board re-spin in space-constrained SOT-23-3 layouts; versus TLVH431AQDBZR, it provides higher Vref headroom essential for industrial 24 V and 48 V systems without additional amplification.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL432AQDBZRG4 at 25°C?
The TL432AQDBZRG4 has a 1% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, meaning its Vref falls between 2.470 V and 2.520 V under nominal conditions. This A-grade specification is confirmed in Section 6.10 of the TI SLVS543S datasheet and applies specifically to the TL432AQ variant in DBZ packaging.
How does TL432AQDBZRG4 differ from TL431AQDBZR in pin configuration?
The TL432AQDBZRG4 uses a CATHODE–REF–ANODE pinout (Pin 1–2–3), while TL431AQDBZR uses REF–ANODE–CATHODE. This reversal means direct substitution requires PCB layout changes. The TL432AQDBZRG4 pinout is optimized for simplified optocoupler feedback routing in compact SOT-23-3 designs.
What is the maximum reference voltage deviation over temperature for TL432AQDBZRG4?
The TL432AQDBZRG4 exhibits a maximum reference voltage deviation of ±14 mV over its full −40°C to +125°C operating range, as specified in Table 6.7 (TL432Q) and Table 6.10 (TL432AQ) of the datasheet. This corresponds to ±0.56% drift relative to 2.5 V nominal.
Can TL432AQDBZRG4 be used in place of a Zener diode?
Yes - the TL432AQDBZRG4 functions as a precision, adjustable shunt regulator and is explicitly positioned as a superior replacement for Zener diodes in applications like onboard regulation and switching power supplies. Its sharp turn-on characteristic, low dynamic impedance (0.2 Ω), and tight tolerance make it ideal for high-accuracy feedback paths where Zeners lack stability.
What is the recommended minimum cathode current for regulation in TL432AQDBZRG4?
The TL432AQDBZRG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.4 mA to maintain regulation, per Section 6.10 Electrical Characteristics. This Imin value ensures stable operation even under light-load conditions in standby or low-power modes of industrial power supplies.
