Product details
Overview
TLVH432IDBZTG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage adjustable precision shunt regulator with 1.24 V reference voltage, ±0.5% initial tolerance at 25°C (B-grade), and operation down to 100 µA cathode current. It delivers 0.25 Ω typical dynamic impedance and supports output voltage adjustment from 1.24 V to 18 V using two external resistors. It serves as a Zener replacement and error amplifier in isolated flyback SMPS feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH432IDBZTG4 datasheet, TLVH432IDBZTG4 pinout, TLVH432IDBZTG4 application, or TLVH432IDBZTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include reference accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, cathode current range (100 µA–70 mA), dynamic impedance stability, SOT-23-3 pin compatibility, and open-loop comparator functionality with integrated reference.
Technical Context
The TLVH432IDBZTG4 implements a three-terminal shunt-regulator architecture with an internal 1.24 V bandgap reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier driving a Darlington sink output stage. Its functional block includes reference, error amplifier, and output transistor - enabling both closed-loop regulation (e.g., secondary-side voltage control) and open-loop comparator operation.
Unlike the TLVH431, the TLVH432IDBZTG4 uses reversed pinout in SOT-23-3: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE. This configuration simplifies PCB layout when interfacing with optocouplers in isolated power supplies and avoids signal routing conflicts common with TLVH431's CATHODE–ANODE–REF ordering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.24 V ±0.5% at 25°C - enables precise low-voltage regulation starting at 1.24 V, critical for 3.3 V and lower SMPS designs |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| Cathode Current Range | 100 µA to 70 mA - supports ultra-low-power monitoring and high-current shunt regulation |
| Dynamic Impedance | 0.25 Ω typical - ensures stable regulation under load transients; total circuit impedance scales with external resistor ratio |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.24 V to 18 V - set via two external resistors; no minimum headroom beyond VREF |
| Reference Input Current | 0.1–0.5 µA - minimizes resistor-divider loading error and enables high-impedance feedback networks |
| Off-State Cathode Current | 0.02–0.1 µA - guarantees low leakage during system standby or fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 package (2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: REF | Reference input | High-impedance node sensing voltage divider output; must be connected externally - not left floating |
| Pin 2: CATHODE | Shunt current output | Sink terminal carrying regulated current; connects to optocoupler LED anode or feedback network |
| Pin 3: ANODE | Common return | Typically grounded or tied to system common; forms reference point for VKA and IK |
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 legacy TL431 fails |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | High open-loop gain ensures fast comparator response - eliminates need for external hysteresis in voltage-monitoring circuits |
| No output capacitor required | Internally compensated - stable with zero output capacitance, reducing BOM count and board space in compact SMPS designs |
| Ultra-low reference current | 0.1 µA min IREF - allows >1 MΩ feedback dividers without accuracy degradation or thermal drift |
| Reversed SOT-23 pinout | REF–CATHODE–ANODE ordering - matches optocoupler anode-cathode polarity and eases routing in isolated feedback paths |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH432ACDBZT | 1% initial reference tolerance (A-grade) vs 0.5% (B-grade); otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout | Suitable where ±1% regulation accuracy suffices - e.g., non-critical bias supplies or coarse voltage monitors | Select TLVH432ACDBZT only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for <1 LSB ADC reference accuracy or tight SMPS regulation. |
| TLVH431IDBZT | Same B-grade tolerance and temp range, but SOT-23-3 pinout is CATHODE–REF–ANODE (not REF–CATHODE–ANODE) | Requires PCB layout revision to route feedback signal to Pin 2 instead of Pin 1; incompatible drop-in replacement | Choose TLVH431IDBZT only when redesigning for legacy TLVH431 footprint compatibility or when existing layout already accommodates its pin order. |
Compared with TLVH432ACDBZT and TLVH431IDBZT, TLVH432IDBZTG4 uniquely combines ±0.5% reference accuracy, –40°C to +125°C qualification, and REF-first SOT-23-3 pinout - making it optimal for high-precision, thermally demanding, optocoupler-coupled power supply designs where layout efficiency and regulation fidelity are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH432IDBZTG4 at 25°C?
The TLVH432IDBZTG4 has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to the 'B' grade designation in its part number. This means its VREF falls between 1.234 V and 1.246 V under nominal conditions, verified per TI's SLVS555N datasheet Section 5.7. This tight tolerance directly supports high-resolution data converter references and tightly regulated SMPS outputs.
How does the pinout of TLVH432IDBZTG4 differ from TLVH431IDBZT?
The TLVH432IDBZTG4 uses REF–CATHODE–ANODE pinout in its SOT-23-3 package (Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = CATHODE, Pin 3 = ANODE), whereas TLVH431IDBZT uses CATHODE–REF–ANODE (Pin 1 = CATHODE, Pin 2 = REF, Pin 3 = ANODE). This reversal optimizes routing to optocoupler anodes in isolated feedback paths and is explicitly documented in Figures 4-4 and 4-5 of the TLVH432IDBZTG4 datasheet.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TLVH432IDBZTG4?
The TLVH432IDBZTG4 requires a minimum cathode current of 100 µA to maintain regulation, as specified in Section 5.5 of the datasheet under IK(min). This value holds across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and enables reliable startup and light-load regulation in energy-efficient power supplies where legacy TL431 would fail.
Can TLVH432IDBZTG4 operate without an output capacitor?
Yes, TLVH432IDBZTG4 is internally compensated and remains stable without an output capacitor between cathode and anode - a key advantage over many linear regulators. Section 7.3 of the datasheet confirms this behavior, noting that external capacitors are optional and only needed when specific phase-margin requirements exceed the device's native stability under capacitive load conditions.
What is the maximum cathode voltage rating for TLVH432IDBZTG4?
The absolute maximum cathode voltage (VKA) for TLVH432IDBZTG4 is 20 V, as stated in Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings. However, the recommended operating range is VREF to 18 V (Section 5.3), meaning the device is designed to regulate stably up to 18 V cathode-to-anode voltage while maintaining specified performance and reliability.
