Product details
Overview
TL432LIAIDBZR from Texas Instruments is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with 1% initial reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, 2.495 V nominal reference voltage, 0.3 Ω typical dynamic impedance, −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range (Q-temp grade), and 1 mA minimum cathode current for regulation - used in secondary-side flyback SMPS feedback loops, precision current sinks, and Zener diode replacement circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TL432LIAIDBZR datasheet, TL432LIAIDBZR pinout, TL432LIAIDBZR application, or TL432LIAIDBZR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, Q-temp automotive-grade thermal performance, DBZ SOT-23 package terminal mapping, and direct functional alternatives for voltage reference and error amplifier designs.
Technical Context
The TL432LIAIDBZR implements an internal 2.495 V bandgap reference and high-gain op-amp driving a Darlington output stage, enabling precise shunt regulation via external resistor feedback between cathode and reference pins. Its open-loop comparator mode supports voltage monitoring with integrated reference.
Unlike the TL431LI, the TL432LIAIDBZR uses reversed REF/CATHODE pin assignment in the DBZ package (Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE), while maintaining identical electrical behavior, IREF ≤ 0.4 µA, and II(dev) ≤ 0.3 µA across −40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage (Vref) | 2.495 V nominal; ±1% initial tolerance at 25°C ensures stable setpoint for feedback networks |
| Cathode Voltage Range (VKA) | 2.495 V to 36 V; enables wide-range programmable output without external reference |
| Dynamic Impedance (|ZKA|) | 0.3 Ω typical; minimizes output voltage deviation under load transients |
| Reference Input Current (IREF) | ≤ 0.4 µA max; reduces resistor-divider loading error in high-impedance feedback paths |
| Min Cathode Current (Imin) | 1 mA max; defines lowest usable sink current to maintain regulation |
| Temp Drift (VI(dev)) | 27 mV max over −40°C to +125°C; guarantees <±22 ppm/°C average TC for Q-temp operation |
| Output Sink Capability (IKA) | 15 mA max continuous; supports direct drive of optocoupler LEDs or small-signal loads |
Pinout & Package
TL432LIAIDBZR is housed in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm, optimized for space-constrained industrial and automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CATHODE (Pin 1) | Shunt current output / voltage sense node | Primary current sink path; connects to feedback divider top node and power rail in shunt regulator configuration |
| REF (Pin 2) | Reference input threshold | Senses voltage relative to ANODE; must be biased ≥0.4 µA to activate regulation; determines output setpoint with R1/R2 |
| ANODE (Pin 3) | Common return / ground reference | Low-impedance return path for cathode current and reference bias; tied to system ground or negative rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized reference current | IREF ≤ 0.4 µA enables high-resistor feedback networks without accuracy loss |
| Low temperature drift | VI(dev) ≤ 27 mV over −40°C to +125°C ensures stable regulation in engine control units |
| Pinout differentiation | DBZ package swaps REF/CATHODE vs TL431LI - prevents layout errors in new designs |
| Internal compensation | Stable without output capacitor; simplifies design in isolated DC/DC feedback paths |
| High sink gain | Darlington output delivers 15 mA sink with sharp turn-on for fast optocoupler response |
Applications
| Secondary-Side SMPS Regulation | Zener Diode Replacement |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431LIAIDBZR | Identical electrical specs but TL431LI pinout (Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE) | Requires PCB layout revision due to swapped REF/CATHODE terminals | Select when reusing existing TL431LI footprints or legacy schematics |
| TL432LIBIDBZR | Same pinout and package, but 0.5% initial Vref tolerance (B-grade) instead of 1% (A-grade) | Better accuracy for high-precision references; higher cost and tighter temp drift spec (17 mV) | Select when system-level accuracy demands <±0.5% reference stability at 25°C |
Compared with TL431LIAIDBZR, TL432LIAIDBZR avoids layout redesign for new projects needing reversed pinout compatibility, while TL432LIBIDBZR trades cost for tighter initial tolerance - all three share identical Q-temp rating, dynamic impedance, and IREF performance.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of TL432LIAIDBZR in the DBZ package?
The TL432LIAIDBZR uses a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package with Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, and Pin 3 = ANODE. This reversed pinout distinguishes it from TL431LI (Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE) and prevents accidental substitution without layout verification. The TL432LIAIDBZR datasheet confirms this mapping in Section 6 "Pin Configuration and Functions".
Does TL432LIAIDBZR support operation across automotive temperature ranges?
Yes, TL432LIAIDBZR is qualified for −40°C to +125°C (Q-temp grade), with maximum reference voltage deviation (VI(dev)) of 27 mV across that range. It meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for automotive use and is specified for engine control, body electronics, and infotainment power rails per TI's SLVSDQ6A datasheet.
How does TL432LIAIDBZR differ electrically from TL431LIAIDBZR?
TL432LIAIDBZR and TL431LIAIDBZR share identical electrical specifications - including 1% Vref tolerance, 0.3 Ω dynamic impedance, 0.4 µA max IREF, and −40°C to +125°C operation - but differ exclusively in DBZ package pinout. TL432LIAIDBZR swaps REF and CATHODE pins, enabling layout optimization in new designs without altering circuit performance.
Can TL432LIAIDBZR replace a Zener diode directly in a circuit?
Yes, TL432LIAIDBZR functions as an active Zener replacement with superior performance: 0.3 Ω dynamic impedance vs. typical 10–100 Ω for Zeners, ±1% initial tolerance vs. ±5% for standard Zeners, and stable regulation down to 1 mA cathode current. Its adjustable output (2.495 V to 36 V) and low temperature drift make it ideal for precision clamping and referencing where passive Zeners fall short.
What is the minimum cathode current required for TL432LIAIDBZR to regulate properly?
The TL432LIAIDBZR requires a minimum cathode current (Imin) of 1 mA maximum to enter and maintain regulation - meaning regulation is guaranteed if IKA ≥ 1 mA. Below this, open-loop gain drops and output voltage becomes unstable. This value is confirmed in Section 7.4 "Recommended Operating Conditions" and Section 7.5 "Electrical Characteristics" of the TL432LIAIDBZR datasheet.
