Product details
Overview
TS431BILT from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100-qualified, adjustable shunt voltage reference IC in SOT23-5 package, delivering 0.5% initial voltage accuracy (1.24 V nominal), 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and stable operation from 1.24 V to 6 V with cathode current as low as 60 µA. It serves as a precision feedback element in automotive-grade 3.3 V switching power supplies regulating optocoupler-driven isolated flyback converters.
For engineers reviewing the TS431BILT datasheet, TS431BILT pinout, TS431BILT application, or TS431BILT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.5% output tolerance at 25 °C, -40 °C to +125 °C automotive operating range, 0.2 Ω static impedance, and compatibility with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The TS431BILT implements a three-terminal bandgap-based shunt reference architecture with internal reference voltage (VREF = 1.24 V) and high-gain error amplifier. Its output voltage is set externally via two resistors (R1, R2) between cathode, anode, and reference terminals, enabling programmable regulation from 1.24 V to 6 V.
It operates with ultra-low minimum cathode current (60 µA), supports continuous cathode current up to 30 mA, and maintains stability across full temperature range (-40 °C to +125 °C) and load conditions - including direct drive of optocoupler LEDs in secondary-side feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Initial Accuracy | ±0.5% at 25 °C - ensures tight output voltage setting for feedback loop calibration in automotive SMPS. |
| Temperature Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C - limits total output drift to ±18 mV over -40 °C to +125 °C, critical for closed-loop stability. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.24 V to 6 V - programmable via external resistor divider, supporting common rail voltages including 3.3 V and 5 V. |
| Cathode Current Range | 60 µA to 30 mA - enables operation in ultra-low-power standby modes and full-load regulation without external biasing. |
| Static Impedance | 0.2 Ω (typ.) - provides low AC impedance for high-frequency noise rejection in feedback paths. |
| ESD Protection | HBM: 2 kV, MM: 200 V - meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements per AEC-Q100. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and infotainment system environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 plastic micropackage (ECOPACK® compliant), 5-pin surface-mount device with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard SOT23-5 convention (counterclockwise from mark).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Cathode) | Output current sink terminal | Connects to switched node of optocoupler LED or feedback resistor divider; carries full regulated load current. |
| Pin 2 (Anode) | Reference ground return | Common return path for reference input and cathode current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground. |
| Pin 3 (Ref) | Adjust input / reference sense | High-impedance input sensing voltage divider midpoint; sets output voltage via R1/R2 ratio. |
| Pin 4 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Anode (Pin 2) per datasheet recommendation. |
| Pin 5 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to Anode (Pin 2) per datasheet recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | 1% initial accuracy, higher 2.5 V minimum cathode-anode voltage, 0.3 Ω typical impedance | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; limited to commercial temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C) | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 1% tolerance and lower temp range are acceptable. |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | 0.2% initial accuracy, fixed 2.5 V output, 10 µA max quiescent current, SOT23-3 package | Fixed-output only; no external programming; lacks cathode current drive capability for optocouplers | Select when fixed 2.5 V reference with ultra-low power is required, and external voltage division is not needed. |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, the TS431BILT uniquely combines automotive qualification, 0.5% programmable accuracy, and sufficient cathode drive (up to 30 mA) for direct optocoupler interfacing - making it the only choice for AEC-Q100-compliant isolated feedback designs requiring adjustable output.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for regulation in TS431BILT?
The TS431BILT requires a minimum cathode current of 60 µA to maintain regulation, verified across the full -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. This ultra-low threshold enables reliable startup and stable operation in energy-constrained applications such as automotive sleep-mode power rails and battery-backed sensor circuits.
Can TS431BILT replace TL431 in existing designs?
Yes, TS431BILT is pin-compatible with TL431 in SOT23-5 footprint when using Pins 1–3 (Cathode, Anode, Ref); however, Pins 4 and 5 are NC and must be left floating or tied to Anode. Its lower 1.24 V minimum operating voltage and 60 µA minimum cathode current improve performance in low-voltage and low-power designs, but layout review is recommended for stability with large capacitive loads.
Is TS431BILT suitable for driving optocouplers directly?
Yes - TS431BILT is explicitly optimized for optocoupler drive in isolated feedback loops, supporting cathode currents up to 30 mA. Its low 0.2 Ω output impedance and guaranteed stability with any capacitive load eliminate the need for series damping resistors, simplifying design of automotive 3.3 V flyback converters.
What does the 'B' in TS431BILT signify?
The 'B' denotes 0.5% initial output voltage accuracy at 25 °C, as specified in Table 8 of the datasheet. The 'I' indicates SOT23-5 package, 'L' denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and 'T' confirms RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® construction - collectively forming the full automotive-grade order code TS431BILT.
