Product details
Overview
TL432BCDBVR from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, featuring 0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, 2.483–2.507 V nominal Vref, and operation across −40°C to 125°C. It delivers 1 mA to 100 mA sink current with 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance and supports adjustable output from Vref to 36 V-widely deployed in industrial AC/DC power supplies and servo drive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TL432BCDBVR datasheet, TL432BCDBVR pinout, TL432BCDBVR application, or TL432BCDBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its B-grade accuracy, Q-temp automotive qualification, low temperature drift (14 mV max over −40°C to 125°C), and SOT-23-3 footprint compatibility with space-constrained feedback networks.
Technical Context
The TL432BCDBVR implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal precision reference amplifier and NPN pass transistor. Its REF pin senses voltage relative to ANODE, enabling precise closed-loop regulation via external resistor dividers-functionally identical to TL431 but with inverted CATHODE/ANODE/REF pinout in DBZ package.
It operates as a high-gain error amplifier driving a cathode-current sink, achieving sharp turn-on and stable regulation down to 0.4 mA minimum cathode current. The device maintains 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance below 1 kHz and exhibits low 1/f noise (≤1 µV over 10 s), making it suitable for precision feedback paths in switching regulators and isolated DC/DC converters.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BCDBVR | Same B-grade accuracy and Q-temp rating, but TL431 pinout (REF–ANODE–CATHODE) in SOT-23-3 | Direct drop-in replacement only if PCB layout uses TL431 pin assignment; incompatible with TL432 footprints | Select TL431BCDBVR when reusing existing TL431-based designs; verify REF-to-ANODE voltage compliance. |
| TLVH431BCDBVR | Lower 1.24 V reference, 0.5% tolerance, same SOT-23-3 package, but rated only to 85°C (I grade) | Not suitable for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use; limited to low-voltage (<15 V) feedback paths | Choose TLVH431BCDBVR for cost-sensitive consumer adapters where 1.24 V reference suffices and temp range is ≤85°C. |
Compared with TL431BCDBVR, TL432BCDBVR's inverted pinout prevents mechanical substitution but offers identical electrical specs-TLVH431BCDBVR trades voltage range and temperature capability for lower reference voltage and reduced cost in non-automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL432BCDBVR at 25°C?
The TL432BCDBVR has a guaranteed initial reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a 2.483 V to 2.507 V range around the typical 2.495 V value. This B-grade accuracy is specified in Section 6.11 of the TI SLVS543S datasheet and applies strictly to the TL432BCDBVR variant in SOT-23-3 packaging.
How does TL432BCDBVR differ from TL431BCDBVR electrically and physically?
TL432BCDBVR and TL431BCDBVR share identical electrical specifications-including 0.5% Vref tolerance, −40°C to 125°C operation, and 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance-but differ exclusively in pinout: TL432BCDBVR uses CATHODE–REF–ANODE (Pin 1–2–3), while TL431BCDBVR uses REF–ANODE–CATHODE. No PCB redesign permits interchangeability.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL432BCDBVR?
The TL432BCDBVR requires a minimum cathode current of 0.4 mA to maintain regulation, as confirmed in Section 6.11 (Electrical Characteristics, TL432BC) of the TI datasheet. This value holds across the full −40°C to 125°C temperature range and ensures stable operation even under light-load conditions.
Can TL432BCDBVR be used in place of a Zener diode in linear regulator feedback?
Yes, TL432BCDBVR replaces Zener diodes in feedback networks with superior performance: its 0.5% tolerance, 14 mV max temp drift, and 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance deliver tighter output regulation and better transient response than standard Zeners. It requires only two external resistors to set output voltage from 2.5 V to 36 V.
What is the maximum cathode voltage rating for TL432BCDBVR?
The absolute maximum cathode voltage (VKA) for TL432BCDBVR is 37 V, referenced to the ANODE pin. The recommended operating range is Vref to 36 V per Section 6.4 of the datasheet. Exceeding 37 V risks permanent damage, and operation above 36 V violates recommended conditions even if within absolute max limits.
