Product details
Overview
TLVH432AIDBZTG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT-23-3 package, featuring 1.24 V reference voltage (±1% at 25°C), 100 μA to 70 mA cathode current range, 0.25 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and operation from –40°C to +125°C. It serves as an error amplifier or voltage reference in isolated flyback SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH432AIDBZTG4 datasheet, TLVH432AIDBZTG4 pinout, TLVH432AIDBZTG4 application, or TLVH432AIDBZTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include reference tolerance grade (A = 1%), cathode-to-anode voltage headroom (≥1.24 V), minimum regulation current (100 μA), thermal stability over industrial temperature range, and compatibility with optocoupler-based secondary-side regulation circuits.
Technical Context
The TLVH432AIDBZTG4 implements a 3-terminal shunt-regulator architecture with internal 1.24 V bandgap reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier driving a Darlington output stage. Its open-loop comparator mode enables precise voltage monitoring without external reference, while closed-loop configuration with two resistors sets output voltage from 1.24 V to 18 V.
Unlike the TLVH431, the TLVH432AIDBZTG4 uses reversed pinout (REF–CATHODE–ANODE) in SOT-23-3, enabling direct replacement in space-constrained designs where anode-grounded topology simplifies PCB layout. It requires no external compensation capacitor for stability across its full operating current range.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431AIDBZRG4 | Same A-grade tolerance and SOT-23-3 package, but standard TLVH431 pinout (CATHODE–REF–ANODE) | Requires PCB layout revision due to reversed REF/CATHODE positions; identical electrical performance otherwise | Select when redesigning legacy TLVH431 layouts or when anode-referenced feedback topology is preferred |
| TLVH432AQDBZR | B-grade (0.5% initial tolerance), same pinout and package, wider temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) | Higher accuracy required for precision measurement or calibration-critical systems; same footprint and drive capability | Select when tighter reference accuracy directly impacts system-level measurement uncertainty budget |
Compared with TLVH432AIDBZTG4, TLVH431AIDBZRG4 demands PCB rework for pin compatibility but offers identical regulation performance, while TLVH432AQDBZR trades cost for 0.5% tolerance and extended temperature validation-critical for metrology-grade references.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH432AIDBZTG4 at 25°C?
The TLVH432AIDBZTG4 has a reference voltage tolerance of ±1% at 25°C, corresponding to the 'A' grade designation in its part number. This means its VREF is guaranteed between 1.228 V and 1.252 V under nominal conditions, as confirmed in Section 5.6 of the official datasheet. The TLVH432AIDBZTG4 maintains this accuracy across its full operating temperature range with specified deviation limits.
How does the pinout of TLVH432AIDBZTG4 differ from TLVH431 variants?
The TLVH432AIDBZTG4 uses a reversed SOT-23-3 pinout: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE. In contrast, TLVH431 variants use Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE. This difference is explicitly documented in Figures 4-4 and 4-5 of the datasheet and affects PCB layout compatibility-TLVH432AIDBZTG4 cannot be substituted into TLVH431 footprints without trace modification.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TLVH432AIDBZTG4?
The TLVH432AIDBZTG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 100 μA to maintain regulation, as specified in Section 5.5 (IK(min)) of the datasheet. Below this threshold, the device exits its linear operating region and loses regulation accuracy. This value is valid across the full temperature range and is lower than the TL431's 1 mA requirement, enabling ultra-low-power supervision applications.
Can TLVH432AIDBZTG4 operate without an output capacitor?
Yes, TLVH432AIDBZTG4 is internally compensated and stable without an external cathode-to-anode capacitor, as stated in Section 7.3 of the datasheet. This eliminates a common failure point and reduces bill-of-materials cost. However, if a capacitor is added for noise filtering, Figures 5-15 through 5-17 provide phase-margin guidance for selecting values up to 10 nF depending on cathode voltage and load conditions.
What is the dynamic impedance specification for TLVH432AIDBZTG4?
The TLVH432AIDBZTG4 has a typical dynamic impedance of 0.25 Ω, with a maximum of 0.4 Ω, measured at f ≤ 1 kHz and cathode current from 0.1 mA to 70 mA (Section 5.5, |zKA|). This low impedance ensures minimal output voltage variation under dynamic load steps-a key advantage over discrete Zener diodes and essential for precision feedback in switching regulators.
