Product details
Overview
TLVH431BIDBVT from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage adjustable precision shunt regulator with 0.5% reference voltage tolerance at 25°C, 1.24V nominal VREF, 100μA–70mA cathode current range, and operation from –40°C to +125°C. It functions as a programmable Zener replacement or error amplifier in isolated flyback SMPS feedback loops, especially for 3.3V output regulation.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431BIDBVT datasheet, TLVH431BIDBVT pinout, TLVH431BIDBVT application, or TLVH431BIDBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include initial VREF accuracy (B-grade), ultra-low minimum cathode current (100μA), SC-70 package footprint, dynamic impedance (0.25Ω), and compatibility with optocoupler-based secondary-side regulation circuits.
Technical Context
The TLVH431BIDBVT implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier with Darlington output stage, enabling precise shunt regulation down to 1.24V. Its internal architecture supports both open-loop comparator operation (with integrated 1.24V reference) and closed-loop voltage regulation via resistive feedback between cathode and reference pins.
It operates without external compensation across its full cathode current range (100μA–70mA) and maintains stable regulation under capacitive loads up to 10nF when configured per TI's phase-margin guidelines. The device achieves ±11mV VREF deviation over –40°C to +125°C (Q-grade) and exhibits 0.1–0.5μA reference terminal current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF (25°C) | 1.24 V ±0.5% - enables accurate low-voltage adjustment starting at 1.24V, critical for 3.3V/2.5V rail monitoring |
| Cathode Current Range | 100 μA to 70 mA - supports ultra-low-power biasing and high-current shunt regulation without external gain stages |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial environments requiring extended thermal robustness |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.25 Ω typical - ensures tight output voltage regulation under load transients in feedback control loops |
| Reference Input Current | 0.1–0.5 μA - minimizes resistor-divider loading error, enabling high-impedance feedback networks |
| VREF vs Cathode Voltage | –1.5 to –2.7 mV/V - quantifies supply rejection; lower magnitude improves stability in variable-input SMPS designs |
| Off-State Cathode Current | 0.02–0.1 μA - reduces standby power loss in always-on monitoring applications |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 5-pin surface-mount with exposed substrate connection on Pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected; no electrical function or thermal path |
| Pin 2 (Substrate) | Internal substrate tie | Must connect to ANODE or leave floating; not electrically isolated from ANODE |
| Pin 3 (CATHODE) | Shunt current input/output | Sinks regulated current; connects to SMPS output node or optocoupler LED anode |
| Pin 4 (REF) | Reference input threshold | Compares against internal 1.24V bandgap; requires ≥0.1μA bias current for proper operation |
| Pin 5 (ANODE) | Common return path | Typically grounded; serves as current return for cathode sink and reference bias paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Regulates from 1.24V - enables use in sub-2V systems where TL431 (2.5V) is unusable |
| B-grade precision | ±0.5% VREF tolerance at 25°C - reduces calibration overhead in precision ADC references and sensor signal chains |
| Ultra-low IK(min) | 100 μA minimum cathode current - allows regulation in micropower battery-backed circuits and low-IQ PSUs |
| Integrated comparator mode | Open-loop gain >100 dB - eliminates need for external op-amp + reference in voltage monitor ICs |
| Stable without output capacitor | Internally compensated - simplifies layout in space-constrained isolated supplies; avoids capacitor aging effects |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431BIDCKR | Same B-grade accuracy and electrical specs; SC-70-6 package with NC and substrate pins repositioned | Smaller 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm footprint; requires different PCB layout but identical circuit design | Select for ultra-dense layouts where DBV's 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm is prohibitive |
| TLVH432BIDBVT | Identical core specs; differs only in SOT-23-3 pinout (REF/CATHODE/ANODE order vs DBV's CATHODE/substrate/REF/ANODE/ANODE) | Requires PCB redesign due to non-interchangeable pin mapping; same thermal performance (RθJA = 206°C/W) | Choose only when legacy SOT-23-3 footprint is fixed and DBV's 5-pin layout cannot be accommodated |
Compared with TLVH431BIDBVT, TLVH431BIDCKR offers 40% smaller area with identical performance, while TLVH432BIDBVT provides pinout compatibility with legacy 3-pin designs but mandates layout revision-neither is pin-compatible with TLVH431BIDBVT.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH431BIDBVT at 25°C?
The TLVH431BIDBVT has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a VREF range of 1.234 V to 1.246 V. This B-grade precision is specified in Section 5.7 of the TI datasheet and applies across all operating conditions unless otherwise noted. TLVH431BIDBVT maintains this accuracy without external calibration, making it suitable for high-resolution measurement systems.
Can TLVH431BIDBVT operate with cathode currents below 100μA?
No-TLVH431BIDBVT requires a minimum cathode current of 100μA to maintain regulation, as confirmed in Section 5.5 (IK(min)) and Figure 5-5 of the datasheet. Operation below this threshold results in degraded gain and unstable reference behavior. TLVH431BIDBVT must be biased above 100μA across its full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) to ensure functional compliance.
What package type does TLVH431BIDBVT use, and what are its dimensions?
TLVH431BIDBVT uses the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package with nominal body dimensions of 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, as documented in the "Device Information" table. It features five terminals including a dedicated substrate connection on Pin 2. This package is distinct from SC-70 (DCK) and SOT-23-3 (DBZ) variants used by other TLVH431 family members.
How does TLVH431BIDBVT differ from TLVH432BIDBVT?
TLVH431BIDBVT and TLVH432BIDBVT share identical electrical specifications-including VREF, IK range, and thermal performance-but differ exclusively in pin configuration. TLVH431BIDBVT uses a 5-pin SOT-23 layout (CATHODE/substrate/REF/ANODE/ANODE), while TLVH432BIDBVT uses a 3-pin SOT-23 variant with REF/CATHODE/ANODE ordering. TLVH431BIDBVT is not pin-compatible with TLVH432BIDBVT.
Is an output capacitor required for stability with TLVH431BIDBVT?
No-TLVH431BIDBVT is internally compensated and stable without an output capacitor between cathode and anode, as stated in Section 7.3. However, if added for noise filtering or transient suppression, capacitor selection must follow TI's phase-margin curves (Figures 5-15 to 5-17) to avoid oscillation. TLVH431BIDBVT's stability margin is validated up to 10nF under typical operating conditions.
