Product details
Overview
TLVH432IDBZT from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT-23-3 package, providing 1.24 V reference voltage with ±1% initial tolerance at 25°C, 0.25 Ω typical dynamic impedance, and operation from 1.24 V to 18 V output range. It serves as an error amplifier or voltage reference in isolated flyback SMPS feedback loops, replacing Zener diodes with lower leakage and sharper turn-on.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH432IDBZT datasheet, TLVH432IDBZT pinout, TLVH432IDBZT application, or TLVH432IDBZT equivalent, key selection criteria include cathode current range (100 μA–70 mA), thermal stability (–40°C to +125°C), reference voltage deviation over temperature (±31 mV for Q-grade), and compatibility with optocoupler-based secondary-side regulation in 3.3 V systems.
Technical Context
The TLVH432IDBZT implements a three-terminal shunt-regulator architecture with internal 1.24 V bandgap reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier driving a Darlington sink output stage. Its functional block includes reference input (REF), cathode (K) as current-sink output, and anode (A) as common return - enabling closed-loop voltage regulation via external resistor divider or open-loop comparator operation.
Unlike the TLVH431, the TLVH432IDBZT uses reversed pinout (REF–CATHODE–ANODE) in the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package, optimizing PCB layout for compact flyback feedback networks. It requires ≥100 μA cathode current to maintain regulation and exhibits stable operation without output capacitance due to internal compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage (VREF) | 1.24 V ±1% at 25°C - sets minimum regulated output; enables 1.24–18 V adjustment with two resistors |
| Cathode Current Range | 100 μA to 70 mA - supports ultra-low-power monitoring and higher-current shunt regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.25 Ω typical - ensures tight voltage regulation under load transients; critical for error amplifier accuracy |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial environments; full-spec performance across range |
| Voltage Regulation Range | VO = VREF to 18 V - accommodates 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V rails with same device |
| Reference Input Current | 0.1–0.5 μA - minimizes divider resistor loading; enables high-impedance feedback networks |
| Output Capacitance Stability | Stable without external capacitor - eliminates need for output bypass; simplifies layout in space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: REF | Reference input | High-impedance node sensing feedback voltage; must be connected to resistor divider; draws ≤0.5 μA |
| 2: CATHODE | Current-sink output | Primary regulation node; sinks cathode current (100 μA–70 mA); connects to optocoupler LED anode in flyback designs |
| 3: ANODE | Common return | Ground reference for internal circuitry; ties to system ground or power rail return; not floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Starts regulation at 1.24 V - enables use in 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V systems where TL431 (2.5 V) cannot function |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | High open-loop gain enables fast comparator response - suitable for voltage monitoring with hysteresis-free threshold detection |
| Zener replacement capability | Leakage <0.1 μA at 18 V - reduces standby power vs. standard Zeners; improves efficiency in battery-backed circuits |
| Thermal stability | ±31 mV VREF deviation over –40°C to +125°C - maintains accuracy in under-hood or industrial ambient conditions |
| Optocoupler interface optimization | Reversed DBZ pinout (REF–K–A) aligns cathode and anode pins for direct routing to optocoupler - minimizes trace length and noise coupling |
Applications
| Isolated Flyback SMPS Feedback | Adjustable Voltage Reference for ADCs |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH431IDBZT | Same electrical specs but SOT-23-3 pinout: ANODE–CATHODE–REF (vs. TLVH432IDBZT's REF–CATHODE–ANODE) | Requires PCB layout revision for feedback routing; less optimal for optocoupler-coupled flyback topologies | Select TLVH431IDBZT only when reusing legacy TLVH431 layouts or when anode-first routing is preferred |
| TLV431BIDBZR | Lower 1.24 V reference but wider 2.5% tolerance at 25°C; SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package; rated –40°C to +85°C only | Not suitable for automotive or extended-temp industrial use; insufficient accuracy for precision ADC references | Choose TLV431BIDBZR only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where ±2.5% tolerance and 85°C max are acceptable |
Compared with TLVH431IDBZT, TLVH432IDBZT offers optimized pinout for flyback feedback while maintaining identical regulation performance; compared with TLV431BIDBZR, it delivers tighter tolerance and extended temperature range at modest cost premium - justifying selection for industrial and automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of TLVH432IDBZT?
The TLVH432IDBZT uses a 3-pin SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package with pin 1 = REF, pin 2 = CATHODE, pin 3 = ANODE. This reversed pinout (vs. TLVH431) places REF and ANODE on opposite ends, facilitating direct connection to optocoupler anode and cathode in flyback feedback paths without crossing traces.
Does TLVH432IDBZT require an output capacitor for stability?
No, TLVH432IDBZT is internally compensated and remains stable without an output capacitor between cathode and anode. This eliminates capacitor-related phase margin concerns in most applications. However, if an output capacitor is used, Figures 5-15 through 5-17 in the datasheet provide guidance on maximum allowable values per cathode voltage to maintain stability.
What is the minimum cathode current needed for regulation in TLVH432IDBZT?
The TLVH432IDBZT requires a minimum cathode current of 100 μA to enter and maintain regulation. Below this level, open-loop gain drops significantly, impairing reference accuracy and response time. At 25°C, IK(min) is typically 60–100 μA; the guaranteed maximum is 100 μA across –40°C to +125°C.
How does TLVH432IDBZT differ from TLVH431IDBZT?
The TLVH432IDBZT and TLVH431IDBZT share identical electrical specifications and thermal ratings but differ exclusively in SOT-23-3 pinout: TLVH432IDBZT is REF–CATHODE–ANODE, while TLVH431IDBZT is ANODE–CATHODE–REF. This makes TLVH432IDBZT preferable for new flyback designs where REF-to-optocoupler and ANODE-to-ground routing simplifies layout.
Can TLVH432IDBZT be used as a comparator?
Yes, TLVH432IDBZT operates effectively as a comparator with integrated 1.24 V reference in open-loop mode. With ≥100 μA cathode current, it delivers high gain and sharp transition - ideal for voltage monitoring, UVLO, or threshold detection. The REF pin serves as the input, and cathode output swings between high-impedance and sink states based on input voltage relative to VREF.
