Product details
Overview
TLVH431AQDBVR,125 from NXP Semiconductors is an A-grade (1 % reference voltage tolerance), automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100 Grade 1), adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT753 package, with 1.24 V reference voltage, 0.15 Ω typical dynamic cathode-anode impedance, and −40 °C to +125 °C operating range - used for isolated feedback in automotive SMPS designs.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431AQDBVR,125 datasheet, TLVH431AQDBVR,125 pinout, TLVH431AQDBVR,125 application, or TLVH431AQDBVR,125 equivalent, key selection criteria include reference voltage accuracy at temperature extremes, sink current capability up to 70 mA, low output impedance for stable regulation, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood power supply feedback loops.
Technical Context
The TLVH431AQDBVR,125 implements a precision bandgap-based reference amplifier driving an NPN output stage, enabling sharp turn-on and low-output-impedance shunt regulation. Its internal architecture supports programmable output voltages from 1.24 V to 18 V via two external resistors without requiring external compensation in most configurations.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C with 4 mV typical reference voltage drift over that range, maintains 0.19–0.30 µA reference current, and delivers stable performance in isolated feedback topologies where primary-side sensing demands high thermal stability and low noise.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431DQDBVR | 0.75 % reference tolerance; otherwise identical pinout, package, and temperature range | Better reference accuracy for high-precision feedback; higher cost and longer lead time | Select when ±0.75 % Vref stability is required over full temperature range |
| TLVH431AQDBZR | SOT23-3 package (3-pin); same A-grade tolerance and −40 °C to +125 °C rating | Lower thermal resistance but reduced current handling (max 60 mA vs. 70 mA); no dedicated thermal pad | Choose for space-constrained layouts where 70 mA sink current is not required |
Compared with TLVH431DQDBVR, the TLVH431AQDBVR,125 trades 0.25 % reference accuracy for broader availability and lower cost; versus TLVH431AQDBZR, it provides superior thermal performance and 10 mA higher sink current capacity due to SOT753's anode pad and 5-pin layout.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH431AQDBVR,125?
The TLVH431AQDBVR,125 has a reference voltage tolerance of ±1 % (A-grade), meaning its 1.24 V nominal reference voltage falls between 1.228 V and 1.252 V at 25 °C. This tolerance holds across the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range, with total variation limited to ±4 mV typical, making TLVH431AQDBVR,125 suitable for automotive feedback circuits demanding tight regulation.
Does TLVH431AQDBVR,125 require external compensation in SMPS feedback designs?
TLVH431AQDBVR,125 does not require external compensation in most isolated SMPS feedback configurations when used with standard optocoupler CTR and recommended load capacitance (1–10 nF). Stability boundaries are defined in Figures 21–23 of the datasheet, and TLVH431AQDBVR,125 maintains phase margin >45° across −40 °C to +125 °C with proper capacitor ESR selection - eliminating need for additional RC networks in typical automotive flyback designs.
What is the maximum cathode current supported by TLVH431AQDBVR,125?
The TLVH431AQDBVR,125 supports a maximum cathode current of 70 mA under recommended operating conditions. At ambient temperatures up to +125 °C, derating applies per Figure 3 (SOT753 power derating curve), limiting continuous current to ~55 mA at +125 °C on FR4 PCB. The device remains functional up to 80 mA absolute maximum (per Table 6), but sustained operation above 70 mA risks thermal shutdown or accelerated aging - TLVH431AQDBVR,125 is rated for reliable 70 mA operation within its specified thermal envelope.
How does the SOT753 package of TLVH431AQDBVR,125 improve thermal performance over SOT23?
The SOT753 package of TLVH431AQDBVR,125 features a dedicated anode pad (pin 5) that serves as both electrical terminal and thermal conduction path to the PCB. With Rth(j-a) = 180 K/W (ceramic PCB) vs. 155 K/W for SOT23, the SOT753 enables higher power dissipation - TLVH431AQDBVR,125 sustains 70 mA at +125 °C where equivalent SOT23 variants derate to ~60 mA, directly extending usable current range in high-temperature automotive applications.
Is TLVH431AQDBVR,125 compatible with standard SOT753 footprint and reflow profiles?
Yes, TLVH431AQDBVR,125 uses the standard SC-74A (SOT753) outline per Figure 31 and reflow soldering footprint in Figure 34. It complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 30 s max). The marking "AB6" (per Table 4) confirms correct orientation and package identity - TLVH431AQDBVR,125 integrates seamlessly into automated SMT lines using industry-standard SOT753 tooling and stencil designs.
