For engineers reviewing the TLVH431QDBZR,215 datasheet, TLVH431QDBZR,215 pinout, TLVH431QDBZR,215 application, or TLVH431QDBZR,215 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23 pin mapping, thermal derating curves, cathode-anode impedance behavior, and automotive-grade stability data directly applicable to production design validation.
Technical Context
The TLVH431QDBZR,215 implements a precision bandgap reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier driving an NPN output stage, enabling sharp turn-on and stable regulation across 1.24 V–18 V via two external resistors. Its internal architecture supports low-noise operation and maintains <4 mV reference drift over −40 °C to +125 °C.
Designed for automotive environments, it features 4 kV HBM ESD rating, 20 V absolute maximum cathode-anode voltage, and sink current capability from 80 µA to 70 mA. The device operates with typical dynamic impedance of 0.1 Ω and reference current under 0.3 µA at 10 mA cathode load.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH431QDBZR,215?
The TLVH431QDBZR,215 has a D-grade reference voltage tolerance of ±0.75 % at 25 °C, with specified variation of ≤4 mV over the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range. This tolerance is confirmed in Table 10 of the NXP datasheet for TLVH431QDBZR,215 and applies to all units marked "*SE" per Table 4.
Does TLVH431QDBZR,215 support operation up to 18 V cathode-anode voltage?
Yes, TLVH431QDBZR,215 supports cathode-anode voltage (VKA) up to 18 V under recommended operating conditions, with 20 V as the absolute maximum rating. Its adjustable output range spans 1.24 V to 18 V when configured with external resistors, as defined in Table 2 and Section 4 of the datasheet.
Is TLVH431QDBZR,215 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, TLVH431QDBZR,215 is AEC-Q100 qualified Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), explicitly stated in Section 2 (Features and benefits) and Section 14.1 (Quality information). It is intended for automotive powertrain, body control, and ADAS applications requiring certified reliability.
What is the typical dynamic cathode-anode impedance of TLVH431QDBZR,215?
The TLVH431QDBZR,215 exhibits a typical dynamic cathode-anode impedance (ZKA) of 0.10 Ω at frequencies below 1 kHz and cathode currents from 0.1 mA to 70 mA, as specified in Table 10. This low impedance ensures stable regulation and minimal output perturbation in feedback-sensitive circuits.
How is the pinout configured for TLVH431QDBZR,215?
TLVH431QDBZR,215 uses SOT23 package with normal pinning: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = K (cathode), Pin 3 = A (anode), per Table 5 and Figure 1. This matches standard TLVH431CDBZR/IDBZR pinouts and is distinct from mirrored-pinning variants ending in "MQDBZR".
