Product details
Overview
TLVH432QDBZR from Texas Instruments is a low-voltage adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT-23-3 package, featuring 1.24 V reference voltage (±0.5% at 25°C), 100 μA to 70 mA cathode current range, and operation from –40°C to +125°C. It functions as an error amplifier or comparator with integrated reference in isolated flyback SMPS feedback loops and low-voltage Zener replacement applications.
For engineers reviewing the TLVH432QDBZR datasheet, TLVH432QDBZR pinout, TLVH432QDBZR application, or TLVH432QDBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include reference tolerance grade (Q-grade = ±0.5%), cathode-to-anode voltage headroom (≥1.24 V), dynamic impedance (0.25 Ω), thermal stability over automotive temperature range, and compatibility with optocoupler-based secondary-side regulation circuits.
Technical Context
The TLVH432QDBZR implements a precision bandgap reference and high-gain transconductance amplifier in a 3-terminal shunt topology. Its internal architecture forces the REF pin to 1.24 V when cathode current exceeds 100 μA and cathode-to-anode voltage ≥1.24 V, enabling closed-loop regulation via external resistor dividers or open-loop comparator operation.
Unlike the TLVH431, the TLVH432QDBZR uses reversed pinout (REF–CATHODE–ANODE) in SOT-23-3, optimizing PCB layout for feedback networks in compact isolated power supplies. It requires no external compensation capacitor for stability across its full operating current range.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF | Reference input | High-impedance node sensing feedback voltage; must be connected to resistor divider junction |
| 2 - CATHODE | Shunt current output | Sinks current to maintain REF at 1.24 V; connects to optocoupler LED anode or regulation node |
| 3 - ANODE | Common return | Typically tied to system ground or power rail return; serves as voltage reference point for REF and CATHODE |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Automotive-grade qualification | Q-grade (–40°C to +125°C) with 0.5% initial tolerance-meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for safety-critical power monitoring |
| Stable without output capacitor | Internally compensated-eliminates need for external ceramic capacitor in space-constrained flyback designs |
| Sharp turn-on characteristic | Sub-100 ns response to reference threshold crossing-supports fast voltage monitoring and overvoltage latch detection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLVH432ADBZR | 1% reference tolerance (A-grade) vs 0.5% (Q-grade); identical pinout, package, and electrical specs otherwise | Suitable for commercial/industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) but not automotive extended range | Select TLVH432ADBZR only when cost sensitivity outweighs need for automotive-grade thermal stability and tighter initial tolerance |
| TLVH431QDBZR | Different pinout (CATHODE–ANODE–REF) in same SOT-23-3 package; identical Q-grade specs and performance | Requires PCB layout revision due to reversed terminal order; not drop-in compatible without trace modification | Choose TLVH431QDBZR only when existing design uses TLVH431 pinout or when REF-to-ground routing simplifies layout |
Compared with TLVH432ADBZR and TLVH431QDBZR, the TLVH432QDBZR uniquely combines automotive temperature range, 0.5% reference accuracy, and TLVH432-specific pinout-making it optimal for new designs targeting AEC-Q100 compliance and minimal feedback loop area in isolated DC/DC converters.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of TLVH432QDBZR at 25°C?
The TLVH432QDBZR has a reference voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at 25°C, corresponding to a 1.24 V nominal reference with min/max values of 1.234 V and 1.246 V. This Q-grade specification is verified across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, with total deviation limited to ±31 mV.
How does TLVH432QDBZR differ from TLVH431QDBZR in pin configuration?
The TLVH432QDBZR uses REF–CATHODE–ANODE pinout in SOT-23-3, whereas TLVH431QDBZR uses CATHODE–ANODE–REF. This reversal optimizes feedback routing in optocoupler-coupled flyback designs. The TLVH432QDBZR is not pin-compatible with TLVH431QDBZR without PCB layout changes.
Can TLVH432QDBZR operate with less than 1.24 V cathode-to-anode voltage?
No. TLVH432QDBZR requires a minimum cathode-to-anode voltage (VKA) of 1.24 V to enter regulation. Below this headroom, the device remains in cutoff with cathode current <0.1 μA. For sub-1.24 V references, consider dedicated low-voltage references like REF3012.
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TLVH432QDBZR?
The TLVH432QDBZR requires a minimum cathode current (IK(min)) of 100 μA at 25°C to maintain regulation. This increases to 120 μA at +125°C per Figure 5-5. Supplying less current results in degraded gain, increased output impedance, and loss of reference accuracy.
Is an external capacitor required for stability when using TLVH432QDBZR?
No. The TLVH432QDBZR is internally compensated and stable without an external capacitor between cathode and anode. However, if a capacitive load is added (e.g., for noise filtering), Figures 5-15 to 5-17 in the datasheet provide phase margin guidance for selecting ≤10 nF ceramic capacitors at common operating voltages.
