Product details
Overview
TL432IDBVRE4 from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-5 package, delivering 2.495 V nominal reference voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (B grade), 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and operation across –40°C to 85°C. It replaces Zener diodes in secondary-side regulation of flyback SMPSs, adjustable power supplies, and voltage monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TL432IDBVRE4 datasheet, TL432IDBVRE4 pinout, TL432IDBVRE4 application, or TL432IDBVRE4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, thermal behavior, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for design-in and supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
The TL432IDBVRE4 implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal error amplifier, reference, and output transistor. Its cathode-anode voltage range spans 2.5 V to 36 V, controlled via external resistor divider on the REF pin, enabling precise voltage or current referencing without external op-amps.
Unlike the TL431, the TL432 variant features a distinct pinout in DBV (SOT-23-5) packaging: Pin 1 = ANODE, Pin 2 = NC, Pin 3 = REF, Pin 4 = NC, Pin 5 = CATHODE - confirmed per TI's Device Comparison Table and Pin Configuration diagrams.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V (typical at 25°C); enables accurate setpoint generation for feedback loops |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% (B grade); ensures tight output voltage accuracy without trimming |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C (I grade); supports industrial ambient conditions |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω (typical); maintains stable reference under load transients |
| Cathode Current | 1 mA to 100 mA sink capability; accommodates wide-range feedback current demands |
| Voltage Drift | 14 mV max over full temperature range; guarantees <100 ppm/°C stability in closed-loop systems |
| Ref Input Current | 2–4 µA; minimizes resistor-divider loading error in high-impedance designs |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, surface-mount, tape-and-reel delivery. Pin 2 and Pin 4 are no-connect (NC); substrate-connected Pin 2 must be left open or tied to ANODE per TI guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | ANODE | Common reference node; typically connected to system ground or return path |
| Pin 2 | NC | No internal connection; substrate tie - leave open or connect to ANODE |
| Pin 3 | REF | High-impedance input sensing point; sets output voltage via R1/R2 divider |
| Pin 4 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated |
| Pin 5 | CATHODE | Current-sink output terminal; delivers regulated shunt current to maintain VREF |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Voltage | 2.5 V to 36 V via two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed references |
| Sharp Turn-On Characteristic | Active output stage enables fast regulation response - critical for transient-sensitive SMPS feedback |
| Low Output Noise | Enables clean reference in noise-sensitive analog signal chains and precision ADCs |
| Zener Replacement Capability | Superior thermal stability and lower drift vs. discrete Zeners - improves long-term system accuracy |
| Stable Operation at Low IKA | Regulates down to 0.4 mA cathode current - supports ultra-low-power standby modes |
Applications
| Secondary-Side Regulation | Zener Diode Replacement |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431IDBVR | Different pinout (REF/ANODE/CATHODE on Pins 2/3/1); same electrical specs and B-grade tolerance | Requires PCB layout change - not drop-in compatible with TL432IDBVRE4 footprint | Select when redesigning for legacy TL431 layout or sourcing constraints favor SO-8/SOT-23-3 variants |
| TLVH431IDBVR | Lower 1.24 V reference voltage; higher 10 µA max Iref; 0.3 Ω dynamic impedance | Better suited for low-voltage (<3 V) systems; less ideal for 5–12 V SMPS feedback | Choose for sub-3 V applications where 1.24 V reference simplifies resistor selection and reduces divider power loss |
Compared with TL431IDBVR and TLVH431IDBVR, TL432IDBVRE4 offers identical B-grade accuracy and thermal stability but requires its unique SOT-23-5 layout; TLVH431IDBVR trades reference voltage and impedance for ultra-low-voltage operation, limiting direct substitution in mid-range power supplies.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy of TL432IDBVRE4 at 25°C?
The TL432IDBVRE4 has a ±0.5% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C (B grade), corresponding to a 2.495 V nominal value with ±12.5 mV absolute deviation. This specification is guaranteed per TI's Electrical Characteristics table for TL432BI devices and applies directly to TL432IDBVRE4 as an I-grade, B-tolerance variant.
How does the TL432IDBVRE4 pinout differ from TL431IDBVR in SOT-23-5 packages?
The TL432IDBVRE4 uses Pin 1 = ANODE, Pin 3 = REF, Pin 5 = CATHODE, with Pins 2 and 4 as NC. In contrast, TL431IDBVR assigns Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE - making them electrically identical but mechanically incompatible without PCB redesign. This difference is explicitly documented in TI's Device Comparison Table.
Can TL432IDBVRE4 operate at 125°C ambient temperature?
No. TL432IDBVRE4 is rated for –40°C to +85°C operating free-air temperature (I grade). For 125°C operation, TI specifies the Q-grade variant (e.g., TL432BQDBVR), which undergoes extended qualification testing and carries different temperature coefficients and drift limits.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL432IDBVRE4?
The TL432IDBVRE4 requires a minimum cathode current of 0.4 mA to maintain regulation, as specified in TI's Electrical Characteristics tables for TL432BI devices. Below this threshold, the device may exit regulation and exhibit increased output impedance and voltage error.
Is TL432IDBVRE4 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. TL432IDBVRE4 is manufactured in TI's RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 handling requirements. The "E4" suffix confirms lead-free finish per TI's packaging nomenclature.
