Product details
Overview
TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 from NXP Semiconductors is an A-grade (±1 %) adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT753 package, delivering 1.24 V reference voltage with 4 mV typical temperature drift over −40 °C to +125 °C and 0.15 Ω dynamic cathode-anode impedance. It sinks 0.08–70 mA cathode current and supports programmable output up to 18 V via two external resistors, enabling use in automotive isolated SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 datasheet, TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 pinout, TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 application, or TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, mirrored-pin SOT753 terminal mapping, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, thermal resistance data, and real-world design implications for precision current sinking and voltage regulation.
Technical Context
The TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an NPN output stage, enabling sharp turn-on and low-output-impedance shunt regulation. Its mirrored pinning (Pin 1 = cathode, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 5 = anode) differs from standard SOT23 layouts and requires PCB layout verification for correct biasing.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, with 0.19–0.30 µA reference current, <10 mV reference voltage variation over temperature, and −0.5 to −1.5 mV/V cathode-anode voltage sensitivity - critical for stable feedback in high-accuracy power converters.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431AQDBZR | SOT23 package, normal pinning (Pin 1 = REF), same A-grade tolerance and −40 °C to +125 °C rating | Requires different PCB footprint and schematic symbol; lower thermal resistance (320 K/W vs. 400 K/W) | Select when board space is constrained and thermal performance is prioritized over pin compatibility with existing SOT753 layouts |
| TLVH431DQDBZR | SOT23 package, D-grade (±0.75 %) tolerance, same temperature range and pinout as TLVH431AQDBZR | Higher initial accuracy but identical thermal and dynamic impedance specs; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select for non-automotive precision instrumentation where tighter reference tolerance outweighs automotive qualification needs |
Compared with TLVH431AMQDBZR,215, TLVH431AQDBZR offers better thermal performance in smaller SOT23 form factor but requires layout revision, while TLVH431DQDBZR provides higher accuracy in commercial-grade SOT23 but lacks AEC-Q100 validation - making TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 optimal for space-constrained automotive feedback designs needing mirrored-pin compatibility.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of TLVH431AMQDBZR,215?
TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 uses mirrored pinning in SOT753: Pin 1 = Cathode, Pin 2 = REF, Pins 3 & 4 = No Connect, Pin 5 = Anode. This differs from standard SOT23 layouts and must be verified in both schematic symbol and PCB footprint to avoid functional failure.
Is TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 is AEC-Q100 qualified Grade 1, rated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation and validated for automotive under-hood use. Its qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per the AEC standard.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TLVH431AMQDBZR,215?
The minimum cathode current for stable regulation in TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 is 55 µA (typical) at VKA = Vref. Designers must ensure external bias networks deliver ≥80 µA worst-case to guarantee turn-on across temperature and process variation.
How does the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 compare to other grades in the family?
TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 is A-grade with ±1 % reference voltage tolerance at 25 °C, tighter than Standard-grade (±1.5 %) but less tight than D-grade (±0.75 %). All grades share identical thermal drift (4 mV) and dynamic impedance specs.
Can TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 replace a Zener diode in existing designs?
Yes, TLVH431AMQDBZR,215 replaces Zener diodes in shunt regulator, current sink, and voltage reference roles - offering superior temperature stability (4 mV vs. >10 mV for most Zeners), adjustable output (1.24–18 V), and lower dynamic impedance (0.15 Ω vs. >10 Ω).
