Product details
Overview
TS431IYLT from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified, adjustable shunt voltage reference IC in SOT23-5 package, delivering 2% initial voltage accuracy over 1.24–6 V output range, 0.2 Ω output impedance, and stable 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 TS431IYLT datasheet, TS431IYLT pinout, TS431IYLT application, or TS431IYLT equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive qualification (−40 °C to +125 °C), low-voltage regulation capability (1.24 V min), temperature coefficient (100 ppm/°C), and compatibility with capacitive loads without external compensation.
Technical Context
The TS431IYLT implements a bandgap-based three-terminal shunt reference architecture with internal error amplifier and reference voltage (VREF = 1.24 V). Its cathode-anode voltage regulation is set externally via two resistors, enabling programmable output from 1.24 V to 6 V while maintaining stability across 60 µA–30 mA cathode current range.
It features low dynamic output impedance (0.2 Ω typ.), minimal input current drift (≤240 nA over −40 °C to +125 °C), and inherent immunity to capacitive loading-eliminating need for series resistance or external compensation in most feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.24 V to 6 V - Programmable via external resistor divider; enables flexible feedback design for 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom rail regulation. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2% - Guaranteed at 25 °C; supports tight output tolerance in automotive power supply feedback paths. |
| Temp. Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C - Predictable drift over −40 °C to +125 °C; ensures < ±15 mV total VREF shift across full automotive temperature range. |
| Cathode Current Range | 60 µA to 30 mA - Enables ultra-low-power standby regulation and robust load transient response in SMPS feedback networks. |
| Output Impedance | 0.2 Ω (typ.) - Minimizes output voltage perturbation under dynamic load steps; critical for stable optocoupler-driven loop control. |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 2 kV - Meets automotive board-level ESD robustness requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 plastic micropackage (ECOPACK® compliant), 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 1.3 mm height, thermal resistance RthJA = 250 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode (K) | Regulated output node | Connected to SMPS transformer secondary or optocoupler anode; sinks current to maintain precise VKA voltage. |
| Anode (A) | Reference return path | Typically tied to power supply ground or auxiliary winding return; completes shunt current path. |
| Ref (R) | Feedback input | High-impedance reference comparator input; senses divided output voltage to adjust cathode current. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice-no functional role. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No connect | Internally unconnected; no electrical function; avoid routing signals or traces to this terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications (Grade 1: −40 °C to +125 °C ambient), including stress testing per AEC-Q001/Q002. |
| Low-voltage start-up | Operates down to 1.24 V cathode-anode voltage-enables regulation in low-dropout or multi-rail systems where TL431 cannot function. |
| Capacitive-load stability | No external compensation required up to ≥10 µF-simplifies feedback network design in isolated DC-DC converters. |
| Ultra-low Imin | 60 µA minimum cathode current for regulation-reduces quiescent power loss in always-on automotive subsystems. |
| Low output impedance | 0.2 Ω typical-maintains regulation accuracy during fast load transients common in microcontroller power domains. |

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 | Higher minimum cathode current (1 mA), wider VKA range (2.5–36 V), no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Not suitable for automotive temperature range or ultra-low-power designs; requires higher bias current. | Select only for non-automotive industrial applications where cost is prioritized over temperature stability and low-IQ. |
| AS431ASTZTR-G1 | Same 2% accuracy and SOT23-5 package, but rated only to +85 °C ambient; lacks AEC-Q100 validation. | Acceptable for commercial-grade power supplies but fails automotive qualification requirements. | Use only in consumer or industrial equipment with limited thermal envelope; not approved for vehicle deployment. |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and AS431ASTZTR-G1, TS431IYLT uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 60 µA regulation threshold, and 100 ppm/°C TC-making it the sole choice for automotive SMPS feedback where both reliability and low-power operation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum cathode current rating for TS431IYLT in SOT23-5 package?
The TS431IYLT supports continuous cathode current up to +30 mA and can withstand peak currents to +40 mA per absolute maximum ratings. At 30 mA, power dissipation in the SOT23-5 package reaches 500 mW limit-thermal derating is required above +85 °C ambient to maintain reliability.
Can TS431IYLT replace TL431 in existing designs?
Yes, with minor resistor recalculations: TS431IYLT has identical pinout (K-A-R) and same 1.24 V reference, but lower minimum cathode current (60 µA vs. 1 mA) and tighter temperature coefficient. Layout changes are unnecessary, though feedback divider values may be optimized for improved light-load efficiency.
Is the NC pin on TS431IYLT electrically connected internally?
No-pins 4 and 5 of the SOT23-5 package are confirmed as no-connect terminals per ST's mechanical drawings and electrical characterization. They must remain unconnected in PCB layout; grounding or routing signals to them may cause unintended coupling or reliability issues.
Does TS431IYLT require external compensation for stability?
No-TS431IYLT is characterized as stable with any capacitive load up to at least 10 µF, verified by phase margin >50° in gain-phase measurements. Unlike TL431, it does not require series resistance or RC snubbers in standard optocoupler feedback configurations.
