Product details
Overview
TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 from NXP Semiconductors is a D-grade (0.75 % reference voltage tolerance), low-voltage, three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator in SOT753 package, operating from −40 °C to +125 °C, with 1.24 V reference voltage, 0.15 Ω typical dynamic cathode-anode impedance, and 70 mA sink current capability - used in isolated feedback loops of automotive-grade SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 datasheet, TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 pinout, TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 application, or TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mirrored-pin SOT753 terminal mapping, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, and precision shunt regulation design guidance for high-reliability power systems.
Technical Context
The TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 implements an internal bandgap reference and transconductance amplifier driving an NPN output stage, enabling precise voltage regulation via external resistor divider between cathode and reference pins. Its mirrored pinout (Pin 1 = cathode, Pin 2 = reference, Pin 3 = anode, Pins 4–5 = n.c.) distinguishes it from standard SOT23 variants and supports optimized PCB layout for thermal and noise performance in feedback paths.
It operates as a 3-terminal shunt regulator with programmable output voltage from 1.24 V to 18 V, featuring 4 mV typical reference voltage drift over −40 °C to +125 °C, 0.08 mA to 70 mA cathode current range, and low 0.19–0.30 µA reference current - making it suitable for precision current sinking and stable closed-loop control in automotive power supplies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431DQDBZR | SOT23 package, normal pinout (Pin 1 = REF), same D-grade tolerance and temp range | Limited PCB space; requires different footprint and routing; no n.c. pins | Select when board area is constrained and mirrored pinout is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH431DMQDBZR,215?
The TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 has a D-grade reference voltage tolerance of ±0.75 % at 25 °C, measured at 10 mA cathode current. This tolerance holds across its full operating temperature range of −40 °C to +125 °C, making TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 suitable for high-accuracy automotive power regulation where tighter voltage stability is required compared to standard or A-grade variants.
Does TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 support isolated feedback in flyback converters?
Yes, TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 is explicitly designed for isolated feedback loops in switch-mode power supplies, including flyback topologies. Its low dynamic impedance (0.15 Ω), sharp turn-on characteristic, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification make TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 ideal for driving optocoupler LEDs in automotive SMPS designs requiring stable regulation across harsh thermal conditions.
What is the pin configuration of TLVH431DMQDBZR,215?
TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 uses SOT753 package with mirrored pinout: Pin 1 and Pin 2 are not connected; Pin 3 is cathode (k); Pin 4 is reference (REF); Pin 5 is anode (a). This differs from standard SOT23 variants and allows physical separation of sensitive reference and high-current cathode nodes to minimize noise coupling in precision feedback paths.
What is the maximum cathode current rating for TLVH431DMQDBZR,215?
The TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 supports a maximum cathode current of 70 mA under recommended operating conditions. Its absolute maximum rating is 80 mA, but sustained operation above 70 mA requires careful thermal management due to power dissipation limits - especially critical in SOT753 package where Ptot derates to 310 mW on standard FR4 PCB at 25 °C ambient.
Is TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TLVH431DMQDBZR,215 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), with full stress testing including HTOL, TC, and ESD per automotive standards. It is intended for use in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power systems where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory - confirming TLVH431DMQDBZR,215's suitability for production automotive deployment.
