Product details
Overview
TL432BSA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a precision adjustable shunt regulator in SOT23 package, functioning as a programmable 2.495V reference with ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, 0.2Ω typical dynamic output impedance, and 1mA–100mA cathode sink current capability. It replaces Zener diodes in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC converters, voltage monitors, and optocoupler-based regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TL432BSA-7 datasheet, TL432BSA-7 pinout, TL432BSA-7 application, or TL432BSA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in power supervision and isolated feedback, and confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The TL432BSA-7 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier with internal 2.495V reference, enabling precise voltage regulation via external resistor divider. Its low 0.2Ω dynamic output impedance ensures stable closed-loop response under varying load conditions.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, supports cathode voltages from VREF to 36V, and maintains reference voltage deviation ≤34mV over full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for industrial and automotive power management systems requiring high thermal stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495V ±0.5% at 25°C - sets tight accuracy baseline for feedback networks |

| Cathode Current Range | 1mA to 100mA - supports wide-range sink capability for diverse biasing and protection circuits |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - enables deployment in harsh-environment industrial and automotive applications |
| Max Cathode Voltage | 40V absolute max - allows safe operation up to 36V regulated output in high-voltage SMPS designs |
| Reference Input Current | 1µA to 4µA - reduces divider resistor power loss and improves efficiency in high-impedance feedback paths |
| Thermal Resistance | 380°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, SOT23) - defines power derating curve for continuous 100mA operation |
Pinout & Package
TL432BSA-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SOT23-3 surface-mount package (JEDEC TO-236AB). Dimensions: 2.90mm × 1.30mm × 1.00mm (L×W×H), with gull-wing leads on 0.95mm pitch.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431BIDBVR | Same 2.495V ±0.5% reference, but in SOT-23-5 package with NC pin; higher 500mW power rating | Supports higher continuous cathode current (up to 100mA at elevated ambient) due to improved thermal resistance (250°C/W) | Select when >330mW dissipation is required or NC pin aids layout routing |
| AS432BT-E1 | 2.500V ±0.5% reference; 0.3Ω typical output impedance; same SOT23-3 footprint | Higher 2.500V nominal reference shifts resistor divider ratios; slightly higher output impedance affects transient regulation | Select only if 2.500V nominal simplifies existing BOM or matches legacy design constraints |
Compared with TL432BSA-7, TL431BIDBVR offers better thermal performance in high-power shunt roles, while AS432BT-E1 trades identical accuracy for a 5mV higher nominal reference-requiring resistor recalibration but maintaining pin compatibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL432BSA-7?
The TL432BSA-7 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.4mA to 0.7mA (typical 0.55mA) to maintain regulation. Below this threshold, the device exits active regulation mode and cathode voltage rises toward the supply rail. This value is specified at VKA = VREF and is critical for sizing feedback resistors in low-power applications.
Can TL432BSA-7 be used in place of TL431BSA-7 without circuit modification?
Yes-TL432BSA-7 and TL431BSA-7 share identical electrical specifications, pinout (SOT23-3), and functional behavior. The "432" designation reflects Diodes' internal part numbering convention for the same die; both parts have 2.495V ±0.5% reference, 0.2Ω output impedance, and identical absolute maximum ratings.
Does TL432BSA-7 require an external capacitor for stability?
No external capacitor is required for basic stability. The device is inherently stable with load capacitance ≤50pF. For larger capacitive loads (5nF–20nF or >300nF), specific stability conditions apply per datasheet curves-but most optocoupler-based feedback designs operate reliably without added capacitance.
What is the thermal derating behavior of TL432BSA-7 above 25°C ambient?
With θJA = 380°C/W in SOT23, TL432BSA-7's maximum allowable power dissipation decreases linearly above 25°C ambient. At 85°C ambient, rated power drops from 330mW to approximately 132mW (330mW × [1 − (85−25)/150]). Derating must be applied before reaching TJ = 150°C junction limit.
