Product details
Overview
TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q from Nexperia is an A-grade adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 1.0 % reference voltage tolerance (1228–1252 mV at 25 °C), −40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range, and 0.1 Ω typical dynamic cathode-anode impedance. It functions as a programmable voltage reference or current sink in automotive feedback loops and precision power regulation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q datasheet, TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q pinout, TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q application, or TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q equivalent, this device supports stable shunt regulation up to 14 V with two external resistors, delivers low-noise performance in isolated SMPS feedback paths, and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q implements a three-terminal shunt topology with internal bandgap reference and active error amplifier driving a bipolar output stage. Its reference voltage is set externally via resistor divider between cathode and reference pins, enabling precise output voltage tuning from 1.24 V to 14 V.
It operates with sink current from 80 μA to 70 mA, exhibits ≤1.3 mV reference voltage drift over −40 °C to +85 °C, and maintains <0.30 μA reference current across temperature - critical for high-accuracy current limiting and feedback stability in automotive power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1228–1252 mV (A-grade, 1.0 % tolerance at 10 mA, 25 °C) - ensures tight output regulation in closed-loop feedback designs |
| Temperature Range | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments and industrial control systems |
| Cathode Current Range | 0.08 mA to 70 mA - supports both low-power biasing and high-current shunt regulation without external amplification |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.10–0.15 Ω (f < 1 kHz) - provides stable voltage reference under transient load conditions in SMPS feedback networks |
| Reference Current | 0.19–0.30 μA (max at 25 °C) - enables high-impedance resistor dividers, reducing power loss in battery-sensitive applications |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C junction) - confirms reliability for automotive powertrain and body electronics |

Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mounted package (TO-236AB), 3-lead, normal pinning configuration per Table 3 and Figure 29.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Reference input | High-impedance node connected to resistor divider midpoint; sets regulated output voltage via external R1/R2 ratio |
| 2 (K) | Cathode | Current-sink output terminal; connects to regulated rail or SMPS optocoupler anode; handles up to 70 mA |
| 3 (A) | Anode | Return path to ground or low-side reference; completes shunt current loop and defines cathode-anode voltage drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable output voltage | 1.24 V to 14 V using two external resistors - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage references in multi-rail systems |
| A-grade reference tolerance | 1.0 % (vs. 1.5 % standard grade) - reduces output error budget in precision feedback paths for EV DC-DC converters |
| Low dynamic impedance | 0.1 Ω typical - minimizes output voltage perturbation during fast load transients in isolated flyback controllers |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliant - validated for continuous operation in automotive ambient and junction temperature extremes |
| Low reference current | ≤0.30 μA - allows use of >1 MΩ resistor dividers, cutting standby power in always-on vehicle modules |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431NIDBZR-Q | 1.5 % reference tolerance (1222–1258 mV), same −40 °C to +85 °C range and SOT23 package | Acceptable where ±1.5 % output regulation suffices; lower cost for non-critical subsystems | Select when tighter reference accuracy is not required and BOM cost optimization is prioritized |
| TLVH431NAQDBZR-Q | Same 1.0 % tolerance but rated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient; identical electrical specs | Suitable for under-hood applications exceeding +85 °C ambient (e.g., engine control units) | Choose for extended temperature operation where junction temperature exceeds 125 °C |
Compared with TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q, TLVH431NIDBZR-Q trades 0.5 % reference accuracy for cost reduction in commercial-temperature applications, while TLVH431NAQDBZR-Q extends ambient rating to +125 °C without sacrificing A-grade tolerance - enabling direct substitution only where thermal envelope permits.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation?
The TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q requires a minimum cathode current (IK(min)) of 55 μA to maintain regulation, verified across −40 °C to +85 °C. This value ensures reliable turn-on even at cold temperatures and low-power bias conditions, making it suitable for ultra-low-quiescent-current applications like always-on vehicle modules.
Can TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q replace a Zener diode in existing designs?
Yes - it replaces Zener diodes in shunt regulation and voltage reference roles with superior performance: sharper turn-on, lower dynamic impedance (0.1 Ω vs. typical Zener's 5–20 Ω), and programmable output (1.24–14 V). No circuit redesign is needed beyond adding two external resistors for voltage setting.
How does the mirrored pinning variant differ from TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q?
TLVH431NAIDBZR-Q uses normal SOT23 pinning (Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = K, Pin 3 = A). Mirrored variants (e.g., TLVH431NAMQDBZR-Q) swap REF and K pins (Pin 1 = K, Pin 2 = REF). PCB layout must match the specific pinning; mixing them causes functional failure.
Is external capacitor compensation required for stability?
Stability depends on load capacitance and ESR. Figure 20 shows stable operation with CL ≥ 1 nF at 25 °C, but higher capacitance (≥10 nF) is recommended for automotive temperature ranges. Always verify stability across full operating current and temperature using the test circuits in Figures 21–22.
