Product details
Overview
TLVH431NIDBZR-Q from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT23 package, with 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 shunt regulator in automotive feedback loops and precision current sinks.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH431NIDBZR-Q datasheet, TLVH431NIDBZR-Q pinout, TLVH431NIDBZR-Q application, or TLVH431NIDBZR-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its A-grade 1.0 % Vref tolerance, mirrored pinning (K-REF-A), 70 mA sink capability, and qualification for automotive power supply feedback and isolated SMPS control.
Technical Context
The TLVH431NIDBZR-Q implements a three-terminal shunt regulator architecture with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling precise output voltage setting from 1.24 V to 14 V via two external resistors. Its active output stage delivers sharp turn-on characteristics and low 0.1 Ω dynamic impedance below 1 kHz.
Designed for automotive environments, it features −40 °C to +85 °C operation, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and stable performance across cathode currents from 80 μA to 70 mA. The mirrored pinning (Pin 1 = K, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = A) distinguishes it from normal-pinned variants and affects PCB layout compatibility.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Automotive Isolated Feedback Loop | Precision Constant Current Sink |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side voltage sensing in flyback or forward converters with optocoupler isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator providing stable reference to optocoupler LED, enabling primary-side PWM controller adjustment. Use Value: 1.0 % Vref tolerance and −40 °C to +85 °C operation ensure ±1 % output voltage regulation across vehicle lifetime and environmental extremes. |
Use Scenario: LED driver or sensor bias circuit requiring stable current independent of supply variation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision current sink where cathode current equals (Vref / Rset), with REF node grounded and A tied to load return. Use Value: 0.19–0.30 μA reference current minimizes Rset power dissipation and improves thermal stability vs. Zener-based solutions. |
| On-Board Shunt Regulator | Adjustable Series Pass Reference |
|
Use Scenario: Local 3.3 V or 5 V regulation from higher intermediate bus (e.g., 12 V battery rail) in infotainment modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three-terminal shunt element dissipating excess power to hold output voltage constant. Use Value: 70 mA sink capability and 0.1 Ω impedance allow stable regulation under 200 mW load step changes without external compensation. |
Use Scenario: Programmable voltage reference for linear regulators or ADC reference buffers in ADAS domain controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable reference source feeding the non-inverting input of an op-amp controlling series pass transistor base/gate. Use Value: 1228–1252 mV Vref with 1.0 % tolerance provides tighter initial accuracy than standard 1.25 V references, reducing system-level calibration steps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431ACDBZR-Q | Normal pinning (REF-K-A), same 1.0 % Vref tolerance and −40 °C to +85 °C range | Requires PCB layout revision due to reversed REF/K placement; identical electrical behavior | Select when existing layout uses standard pinout and no redesign is feasible |
| TLVH431NQDBZR-Q | Same mirrored pinning but 1.5 % Vref tolerance and −40 °C to +125 °C rating | Better high-temp support but looser reference accuracy; suitable for under-hood sensors | Select when junction temperature exceeds +85 °C and 1.5 % tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with TLVH431NIDBZR-Q, TLVH431ACDBZR-Q offers identical accuracy but requires pinout-compatible layout, while TLVH431NQDBZR-Q trades 0.5 % Vref tolerance for extended +125 °C operation-making the former optimal for space-constrained A-grade designs and the latter for high-temperature automotive zones.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of TLVH431NIDBZR-Q?
TLVH431NIDBZR-Q uses mirrored pinning in SOT23: Pin 1 is Cathode (K), Pin 2 is Reference (REF), and Pin 3 is Anode (A). This differs from standard TL431-compatible pinouts and must be verified in layout to avoid functional failure. The marking code "8N%" identifies this variant on the device body.
How does the 1.0 % Vref tolerance impact design margin?
The 1.0 % Vref tolerance (1228–1252 mV at 25 °C) directly limits total output voltage error in resistor-programmed configurations. For a 5 V output set by R1/R2, worst-case error remains within ±1.2 % before considering resistor tolerance and temperature drift-reducing need for post-production trimming in automotive modules.
Can TLVH431NIDBZR-Q replace a standard TL431 in existing designs?
It can replace TL431 only if the PCB layout accommodates mirrored pinning (K-REF-A) and the application operates within −40 °C to +85 °C. Electrical parameters-including 0.1 Ω impedance, 70 mA sink, and 1.0 % Vref-are superior, but pin mismatch will cause immediate malfunction without board revision.
What thermal derating applies at 85 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, maximum power dissipation drops to ~450 mW on FR4 PCB with standard footprint (per Fig. 2 curve #1), requiring cathode current ≤ 36 mA at 12.5 V VKA. For continuous 70 mA operation, use ceramic PCB (curve #3) or add copper pour to anode pad to sustain full rating up to 85 °C.
