Product details
Overview
TS431AIYLT from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified, adjustable shunt voltage reference IC in SOT23-5 package, delivering 1.24 V to 6 V output with 1% initial precision, 0.2 Ω output impedance, and operation down to 60 µA cathode current. It serves as a precision feedback element in automotive-grade 3.3 V switching power supplies, especially when driving optocouplers in isolated flyback regulators.
For engineers reviewing the TS431AIYLT datasheet, TS431AIYLT pinout, TS431AIYLT application, or TS431AIYLT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, automotive qualification status, thermal resistance data (RthJA = 250 °C/W), stable capacitive load behavior, and direct comparison with TL431-class alternatives for design-in validation.
Technical Context
The TS431AIYLT implements a bandgap-based three-terminal shunt reference with internal error amplifier and NPN pass transistor. Its reference input (REF) senses voltage across external resistive dividers, enabling programmable output while maintaining regulation at cathode currents from 60 µA to 30 mA.
It features low temperature coefficient (100 ppm/°C), guaranteed stability with any capacitive load, and ESD robustness (2 kV HBM). The device operates across −40 °C to +125 °C and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.24 V to 6 V - Programmable via two external resistors; enables flexible feedback design without discrete Zener selection. |
| Initial Voltage Precision | ±1% at 25 °C - Ensures tight output tolerance in closed-loop regulation without post-manufacturing trimming. |
| Cathode Current Range | 60 µA to 30 mA - Supports ultra-low-power standby modes and high-current transient response in SMPS feedback paths. |
| Output Impedance | 0.2 Ω typical - Minimizes load-induced voltage droop and improves loop stability in optocoupler-driven feedback networks. |
| Tempco | 100 ppm/°C - Predictable drift over −40 °C to +125 °C; enables accurate voltage setpoint maintenance in engine control units. |
| ESD Rating | 2 kV HBM - Meets automotive assembly handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Package | SOT23-5 - Surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic micropackage with RthJA = 250 °C/W for compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 plastic micropackage with exposed pad not electrically connected; 5-pin configuration optimized for low-inductance feedback routing and thermal dissipation in space-constrained automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| K (Cathode) | Current sink output terminal | Connects to primary-side SMPS controller feedback node; sinks regulated current to maintain VKA = VREF × (1 + R1/R2). |
| A (Anode) | Reference ground return | Common return path for cathode current and reference divider; must be low-impedance to avoid regulation error. |
| REF | Internal reference input | Senses voltage across external R1–R2 divider; high-impedance (70 nA typ.) minimizes loading on feedback network. |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected pin; left floating per datasheet - no PCB trace or solder required. |
| NC | No connect | Second internally unconnected pin; electrically isolated - omitted from schematic symbol and layout routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified (−40 °C to +125 °C), including stress testing and failure analysis per automotive reliability standards. |
| Low-voltage start-up | Operates down to 1.24 V cathode-anode voltage - enables use in low-input-voltage DC-DC converters where TL431 fails to regulate. |
| Capacitive load immunity | Stable with any value of output capacitance - eliminates need for series damping resistors in optocoupler LED drive circuits. |
| Low quiescent current | 60 µA minimum cathode current for regulation - extends battery life in always-on automotive subsystems (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers). |
| High PSRR | 2.7 mV/V typical ΔVREF/ΔVKA - rejects ripple on cathode supply rail, improving feedback accuracy in noisy power domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDR | 2.5 V fixed reference; ±1% precision; requires ≥1 mA cathode current for regulation; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Not suitable for automotive under-hood use; higher minimum current limits efficiency in battery-powered systems. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where fixed 2.5 V output suffices and thermal grade is not required. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 1.25 V output; ±0.2% precision; 30 ppm/°C tempco; SOT23-3; max 20 mA cathode current. | Lacks adjustability and automotive qualification; limited to low-current, high-precision fixed-reference roles. | Choose only when ultra-low tempco and fixed voltage are mandatory, and AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary. |
Compared with TL431ACDR and MAX6008AEUR+T, TS431AIYLT uniquely combines automotive qualification, 1.24–6 V adjustability, 60 µA regulation threshold, and SOT23-5 packaging-making it the only drop-in solution for AEC-Q100-compliant, programmable shunt references in space-constrained power systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TS431AIYLT?
The TS431AIYLT maintains regulation at a minimum cathode current of 60 µA, verified across −40 °C to +125 °C. This enables reliable operation in ultra-low-power automotive subsystems such as always-on CAN transceivers and battery monitoring circuits where current budgets are tightly constrained.
Does TS431AIYLT require external compensation for stability?
No external compensation is required. The TS431AIYLT is designed to remain stable with any capacitive load, including large optocoupler LED capacitances and bulk output capacitors. This eliminates the need for series damping resistors or RC networks in feedback paths, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does TS431AIYLT differ from standard TS431 variants?
TS431AIYLT is the automotive-grade version: it carries AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, undergoes enhanced screening per AEC-Q001/Q002, and is packaged in SOT23-5 with marking code L276. Standard TS431AILT shares electrical specs but lacks automotive qualification and associated reliability testing.
Can TS431AIYLT replace TL431 in existing designs?
Yes, with minor resistor recalculations: TS431AIYLT matches TL431 pinout in SOT23-5 (K-A-REF-NC-NC), supports identical feedback topology, and offers lower minimum current (60 µA vs. 1 mA) and better thermal performance. However, TL431 lacks AEC-Q100 certification and cannot be used in automotive safety-critical applications without requalification.
