Product details
Overview
TL432QDBZR from Texas Instruments is a precision programmable shunt voltage reference in SOT-23-3 package, delivering 2.495 V nominal reference voltage with ±0.5% initial tolerance (B grade), 14 mV max temperature drift over −40°C to 125°C, 0.2 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and 1–100 mA sink-current capability. It serves as a stable feedback element in isolated DC/DC converters and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TL432QDBZR datasheet, TL432QDBZR pinout, TL432QDBZR application, or TL432QDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), low-output-impedance regulation, adjustable output from 2.5 V to 36 V via two external resistors, and compatibility with flyback and forward converter feedback loops.
Technical Context
The TL432QDBZR implements a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator architecture with an internal error amplifier, reference, and NPN output stage. Its sharp turn-on characteristic and active output circuitry enable precise voltage regulation without external compensation in most applications.
Unlike the TL431, the TL432QDBZR uses a distinct pinout (CATHODE–REF–ANODE) in the SOT-23-3 package, requiring PCB layout revision when substituting. It shares identical electrical specifications with TL431Q variants but is not pin-compatible.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 2.495 V nominal (2.483–2.507 V for B grade at 25°C); sets precise feedback threshold in closed-loop power supplies. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% at 25°C (B grade); enables high-accuracy output regulation without post-manufacturing trimming. |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (Q grade); qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Temp Drift | ≤14 mV over full temperature range; ensures ≤0.56% output variation across operating extremes. |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical; maintains stable regulation under fast load transients and high-frequency ripple. |
| Sink Current | 1–100 mA continuous; supports direct interface with optocoupler LEDs in isolated feedback paths. |
| Output Noise | Low broadband noise (typ. 220 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz); minimizes jitter in sensitive analog control loops. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (2.90 mm × 1.30 mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CATHODE (Pin 1) | Shunt current input / voltage sensing node | Connects to switched-node side of optocoupler LED or directly to regulated output; sinks current to maintain reference accuracy. |
| REF (Pin 2) | Reference input threshold | Internal 2.495 V comparator input; tied to resistor divider midpoint to set output voltage (VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| ANODE (Pin 3) | Common return / ground reference | Typically connected to system ground or power supply return; defines reference potential for all internal circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output range | 2.5 V to 36 V via two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage references in multi-rail systems. |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | Fast response to voltage deviations (<1 µs pulse rise time) - improves transient regulation in switching supplies. |
| Low output impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - suppresses output perturbations caused by optocoupler CTR variation or PCB trace inductance. |
| Automotive temperature grade | Qualified for −40°C to +125°C operation - meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for engine control modules. |
| Low reference input current | 2–4 µA typical - reduces divider network power loss and resistor self-heating errors in high-impedance designs. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | Rack Server Power |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side feedback in 80 PLUS Titanium-certified 1.5 kW server PSUs using SiC MOSFETs and digital controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt reference providing precise 12 V output regulation via optocoupler-coupled feedback loop.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431QDBZR | Same electrical specs and Q-temp rating, but TL431 pinout (CATHODE–ANODE–REF) in SOT-23-3; requires PCB redesign. | Direct functional replacement only if board layout accommodates reversed REF/ANODE pins. | Select TL431QDBZR only when reusing legacy TL431-based layouts; TL432QDBZR avoids pinout conflict in new designs. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 2.5 V output, ±0.2% initial accuracy, 30 ppm/°C tempco, 10 µA max quiescent current; no adjustability. | Suitable for non-adjustable, ultra-low-power references where 2.5 V suffices and drift budget is tighter. | Choose MAX6008AEUR+T for battery-powered sensors needing minimal current draw; TL432QDBZR preferred for adjustable, high-current power feedback. |
Compared with TL431QDBZR, TL432QDBZR eliminates pinout-induced layout errors in new designs; versus MAX6008AEUR+T, it trades fixed-accuracy for wide-range adjustability and higher sink capability-critical for isolated power regulation.

FAQ
What is the exact pin configuration of TL432QDBZR?
The TL432QDBZR uses a SOT-23-3 package with Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE. This differs from TL431 variants (CATHODE–ANODE–REF), so direct substitution requires PCB layout modification. The pinout is confirmed in TI's SLVS543S datasheet Figure 5, page 4.
Does TL432QDBZR support adjustable output voltages above 30 V?
Yes, TL432QDBZR supports adjustable output from 2.5 V up to 36 V using two external resistors per the standard feedback equation VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2). At 36 V cathode voltage, it maintains regulation with ≤100 mA sink current and remains within absolute maximum ratings.
How does the temperature drift of TL432QDBZR compare to commercial-grade TL432 variants?
TL432QDBZR exhibits ≤14 mV total deviation over −40°C to +125°C, whereas TL432C (0°C to 70°C) is rated at ≤6 mV. The Q-grade drift reflects wider thermal excursion, not inferior performance-it meets automotive qualification requirements with verified stability across the full range.
Can TL432QDBZR replace a Zener diode in high-precision applications?
Yes, TL432QDBZR replaces Zener diodes in precision applications due to its 0.5% initial tolerance, 0.2 Ω dynamic impedance, and sharp turn-on. Unlike Zeners, it delivers stable regulation independent of current variation and offers predictable temperature behavior-verified in TI's Figure 6-1 and 6-5.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TL432QDBZR?
TL432QDBZR requires ≥0.4 mA minimum cathode current (Imin) to maintain regulation, per Section 6.7 of the datasheet. Below this threshold, the device exits active regulation and output voltage rises toward cathode potential-critical for optocoupler LED biasing in low-load conditions.
