Product details
Overview
TLVH431AQDBVR,115 from NXP Semiconductors is an A-grade (±1 %) low-voltage 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, 0.15 Ω dynamic cathode-anode impedance, and 0.08–70 mA sink current capability for automotive-grade feedback regulation.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431AQDBVR,115 datasheet, TLVH431AQDBVR,115 pinout, TLVH431AQDBVR,115 application, or TLVH431AQDBVR,115 equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, thermal performance data, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, and direct alternative part comparisons for isolated SMPS feedback, precision current sinking, and high-temperature shunt regulation design validation.
Technical Context
The TLVH431AQDBVR,115 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an NPN output stage, enabling precise two-resistor programmable output voltage from 1.24 V to 18 V. Its mirrored pinning (Pin 1 = cathode, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = anode, Pins 4–5 = n.c.) supports stable operation with load capacitance down to 1 nF under worst-case thermal conditions.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, maintains ±1 % reference tolerance at 25 °C, exhibits −0.5 to −1.5 mV/V cathode-anode voltage sensitivity, and delivers <0.3 µA reference current variation over full temperature range - critical for low-power sensing and battery-backed systems.

This A-grade specification is confirmed in Table 10 of the NXP datasheet and applies across the full operating temperature range up to +125 °C with controlled drift.
Does TLVH431AQDBVR,115 support isolated feedback in flyback converters?
Yes, TLVH431AQDBVR,115 is explicitly used in isolated feedback loops for Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), as shown in Figure 29 of the datasheet. Its low output impedance (0.15 Ω), sharp turn-on, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification make TLVH431AQDBVR,115 ideal for driving optocouplers in automotive and industrial flyback designs requiring tight output regulation.
What is the pin configuration of TLVH431AQDBVR,115?
TLVH431AQDBVR,115 uses mirrored pinning in the SOT753 package: Pin 1 = cathode, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = anode, Pins 4 and 5 = not connected. This differs from standard SOT23 pinning and is confirmed in Table 5 and Figure 1 of the NXP datasheet - critical for correct PCB layout and functional validation of TLVH431AQDBVR,115.
What is the maximum cathode current for TLVH431AQDBVR,115?
The maximum cathode current for TLVH431AQDBVR,115 is 70 mA under recommended operating conditions, with absolute maximum rating of 80 mA. This value is specified in Table 2 (Quick Reference Data) and Table 8 (Operating Conditions), and defines the upper limit of sink current capability for TLVH431AQDBVR,115 in shunt regulator and current-limiting configurations.
Is TLVH431AQDBVR,115 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TLVH431AQDBVR,115 is AEC-Q100 qualified Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C), as stated in Section 2 (Features and benefits) and Section 14.1 (Quality information) of the NXP datasheet. This qualification confirms TLVH431AQDBVR,115 meets stress test requirements for automotive electronics, including engine control units, ADAS sensors, and body control modules.
