Product details
Overview
TL432LIBIDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt regulator in SOT-23 (DBZ) package, functioning as a 2.495 V reference with 0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C, adjustable output voltage from 2.495 V to 36 V, 0.3 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and −40°C to +125°C operation (Q-temp grade). It replaces Zener diodes in secondary-side regulation of flyback SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the TL432LIBIDBZR datasheet, TL432LIBIDBZR pinout, TL432LIBIDBZR application, or TL432LIBIDBZR equivalent, key selection considerations include reference accuracy, cathode current range (1–15 mA), temperature drift (10 mV over −40°C to +125°C), low reference input current (0.4 µA max), and DBZ-package pin compatibility with TL431LI variants.
Technical Context
The TL432LIBIDBZR implements a three-terminal shunt regulator architecture with an internal 2.495 V bandgap reference and high-gain op-amp driving a Darlington sink output stage. Its closed-loop operation relies on resistive feedback between cathode and reference pins to set regulated voltage.
It operates in two primary functional modes: open-loop comparator mode (with integrated reference) and closed-loop shunt regulation mode. Unlike linear regulators, it requires no external compensation capacitor for stability but exhibits defined stability boundaries dependent on load capacitance and cathode voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage (VREF) | 2.495 V ±0.5% at 25°C - sets precise regulation threshold for feedback networks |
| Adjustable Output Range | 2.495 V to 36 V - enables wide-range voltage referencing using two external resistors |
| Cathode Current (IK) | 1 mA to 15 mA - minimum current required for regulation; maximum sink capability defines power handling |
| Dynamic Impedance (|ZKA|) | 0.3 Ω typical - ensures tight voltage regulation under varying load conditions |
| Reference Input Current (IREF) | 0.4 µA max - minimizes resistor-divider error and leakage impact in precision designs |
| Temp Drift (VI(dev)) | 10 mV over −40°C to +125°C - guarantees stable reference performance across automotive-grade thermal range |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for Q-temp industrial and automotive applications requiring extended reliability |
Pinout & Package
TL432LIBIDBZR is housed in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.30 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CATHODE (Pin 2) | Shunt current/voltage node | Main output terminal; sinks current to regulate voltage; connects to feedback network and load |
| REF (Pin 1) | Reference input | Senses voltage divider output; must be driven with ≤0.4 µA to maintain accuracy; not floating |
| ANODE (Pin 3) | Common return | Typically connected to system ground; serves as reference point for all voltages and currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0.5% reference accuracy (B grade) | Enables high-precision voltage setting without trimming; reduces calibration overhead in production |
| Optimized IREF and II(dev) | 0.4 µA max IREF, 0.3 µA max deviation over temperature - improves divider accuracy and system stability |
| Pin-to-pin alternative to TL431LI (DBZ) | Different pinout (REF/CATHODE swapped) - allows layout reuse with minor routing adjustment in TL431LI designs |
| Stable without output capacitor | Internally compensated - eliminates need for external capacitor in most configurations, reducing BOM count |
| 15 mA max cathode sink current | Supports direct regulation of moderate-power loads or drives optocoupler LEDs in isolated SMPS feedback paths |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431LIBIDBZR | Same electrical specs, identical B-grade accuracy and Q-temp rating, but REF and CATHODE pins swapped in DBZ package | Requires PCB layout revision to swap REF/CATHODE connections; otherwise drop-in in function and performance | Select when migrating from TL431LI-based designs and layout modification is acceptable |
| TL432ACDCKR | A-grade (1% initial accuracy), same DBZ package, C-temp (0°C to 70°C) rating, higher IREF (1 µA max) | Suitable for commercial-grade cost-sensitive applications; lower accuracy and narrower temp range limit automotive/industrial use | Select for non-critical consumer applications where 1% tolerance and 0–70°C operation suffice |
Compared with TL431LIBIDBZR, TL432LIBIDBZR offers identical performance with a pinout optimized for new designs avoiding legacy TL431LI layout constraints; versus TL432ACDCKR, it delivers tighter 0.5% accuracy and extended −40°C to +125°C operation essential for automotive and industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TL432LIBIDBZR at 25°C?
The TL432LIBIDBZR has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a 2.495 V nominal output with a range of 2.483 V to 2.507 V. This B-grade accuracy is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SLVSDQ6A datasheet and applies across the full operating temperature range when combined with its 10 mV total drift specification.
How does TL432LIBIDBZR differ from TL431LIBIDBZR?
TL432LIBIDBZR and TL431LIBIDBZR share identical electrical specifications, accuracy, temperature rating, and package-but differ in pinout: TL432LIBIDBZR places REF on Pin 1 and CATHODE on Pin 2, while TL431LIBIDBZR reverses them. This makes TL432LIBIDBZR a functional alternative requiring only PCB trace adjustments, not redesign.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL432LIBIDBZR?
The TL432LIBIDBZR requires a minimum cathode current (IK) of 1 mA to maintain regulation, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions section. Below this threshold, gain drops significantly, leading to poor regulation and slow response-especially critical in comparator or optocoupler-driven feedback applications.
Can TL432LIBIDBZR operate without an external output capacitor?
Yes, TL432LIBIDBZR is internally compensated and stable without an external output capacitor between cathode and anode under most conditions. However, Figure 12 in the SLVSDQ6A datasheet defines stability boundaries: adding >1 µF capacitance may cause oscillation unless cathode voltage and load conditions fall within the stable region.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TL432LIBIDBZR?
TL432LIBIDBZR is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C (Q-temp grade), as confirmed in the Device Comparison Table and Recommended Operating Conditions sections of the SLVSDQ6A datasheet. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and high-reliability embedded applications.
