Product details
Overview
TL432BIDBZRG4 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, −40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and 0.2Ω typical dynamic impedance. It replaces Zener diodes in feedback loops of isolated DC/DC converters, AC/DC power supplies, and servo drive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TL432BIDBZRG4 datasheet, TL432BIDBZRG4 pinout, TL432BIDBZRG4 application, or TL432BIDBZRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q-grade automotive temperature rating, B-grade accuracy, DBZ package pin compatibility with TL431 variants, and cathode current capability up to 100mA for stable regulation across wide output voltage ranges (2.5V–36V).
Technical Context
The TL432BIDBZRG4 implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal error amplifier, reference voltage source, and output transistor. Its REF–CATHODE–ANODE pinout (Pin 1–2–3) differs from TL431's REF–ANODE–CATHODE configuration, requiring PCB layout revision when substituting.
It operates as a voltage-controlled current sink: when the REF pin voltage exceeds 2.495V (typ), the cathode current increases sharply to maintain regulation. Temperature drift is specified at 14mV max over −40°C to 125°C, and low 200nV/√Hz input noise supports high-PSRR feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V (typ), ±12.5 mV (max deviation over −40°C to 125°C) - enables precise 2.5V–36V adjustable output setting via two external resistors |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C - meets B-grade accuracy requirement for industrial and automotive power supply feedback |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and industrial ambient conditions without derating |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω (typ) - ensures minimal output voltage shift under load transients in closed-loop regulation |
| Cathode Current | 1 mA to 100 mA - supports direct sinking into optocoupler LEDs or error amplifier inputs without external buffering |
| Output Noise | 200 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz - maintains stability in high-gain feedback paths of isolated flyback and forward converters |
| Reference Input Current | 2 µA to 4 µA - allows high-value resistor dividers (e.g., 1 MΩ) without significant divider loading error |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm body, gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1. Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE - distinct from TL431 DBZ pinout (REF–CATHODE–ANODE).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (CATHODE) | Current Sink Output | Connects to primary-side feedback node (e.g., optocoupler anode); sinks up to 100 mA to regulate output voltage |
| Pin 2 (REF) | Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance input referenced to ANODE; triggers regulation when voltage exceeds 2.495 V |
| Pin 3 (ANODE) | Common Reference Node | Typically tied to system ground or return path; serves as voltage reference point for REF and CATHODE terminals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Q-grade temperature rating | Validated operation from −40°C to +125°C - eliminates thermal derating in automotive power modules and industrial motor drives |
| B-grade initial accuracy | ±0.5% at 25°C - reduces output voltage calibration burden in high-efficiency AC/DC adapters and server PSUs |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - minimizes output voltage droop during fast load steps in servo drive control feedback loops |
| Adjustable output range | 2.5 V to 36 V via two external resistors - enables single-component reuse across multiple output rails in multi-output power supplies |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | Sub-µs response to REF threshold crossing - prevents oscillation in high-bandwidth isolated converter feedback paths |
Applications
| Rack Server Power | Industrial AC/DC |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BIDBZR | Same B-grade accuracy and Q-temp rating, but TL431 DBZ pinout (REF–CATHODE–ANODE) | Requires PCB layout change due to reversed CATHODE/REF pin positions | Select TL431BIDBZR only if redesigning for TL431-compatible footprint and existing schematic uses TL431 pinout convention |
| TLVH431BIDBZR | Lower 1.24V reference voltage, 0.5% tolerance, same SOT-23-3 package and Q-temp rating | Enables sub-2.5V regulated outputs; not interchangeable for 2.5V+ applications without circuit redesign | Choose TLVH431BIDBZR when designing new low-voltage rails (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V LDO feedback) where 2.5V reference is excessive |
Compared with TL431BIDBZR and TLVH431BIDBZR, TL432BIDBZRG4 provides identical electrical performance and temperature capability but mandates strict adherence to its unique REF–CATHODE–ANODE pin mapping-making it the only drop-in replacement for legacy TL432 designs and eliminating risk of reverse-bias damage during assembly.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of TL432BIDBZRG4?
TL432BIDBZRG4 uses SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package with Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE. This differs from TL431 DBZ (Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE), so direct substitution requires PCB layout modification. The TL432BIDBZRG4 datasheet confirms this pinout in Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1.
What does the 'Q' suffix in TL432BIDBZRG4 indicate?
The 'Q' in TL432BIDBZRG4 denotes qualification for −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range per TI's automotive-grade specifications. This is explicitly defined in Section 4 (Device Comparison Table) and Section 6.7 (Electrical Characteristics, TL432Q) of the TL431/TL432 datasheet SLVS543S.
How does TL432BIDBZRG4 achieve 0.5% reference voltage accuracy?
TL432BIDBZRG4 achieves ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C through laser-trimmed internal resistors and matched transistor pairs in its bandgap reference core. Per Section 6.11 of the datasheet, the B-grade Vref specification is 2.483 V to 2.507 V (2.495 V typ), verified during final test at TI's Dallas wafer fab and assembly sites.
Can TL432BIDBZRG4 replace a standard Zener diode in a power supply?
Yes - TL432BIDBZRG4 replaces Zener diodes in shunt regulator configurations by providing superior 0.5% accuracy, 0.2Ω dynamic impedance, and sharp turn-on. As stated in Section 3 (Description), its active output circuitry makes it an "excellent replacement for Zener diodes" in on-board regulation and switching power supplies, especially where temperature stability and low noise are critical.
What is the maximum cathode current rating for TL432BIDBZRG4?
TL432BIDBZRG4 supports continuous cathode current from 1 mA to 100 mA, as specified in Section 6.4 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and validated in Section 6.13 (TL432BQ characteristics). Absolute maximum rating is 150 mA (Section 6.1), but sustained operation above 100 mA requires thermal derating per RθJA = 206°C/W for DBZ package.
