Product details
Overview
TS432ILT from STMicroelectronics is an adjustable precision shunt voltage reference delivering 1.24 V nominal output (±1% initial tolerance), ultra-low 60 µA max operating current at 25°C, and 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient across –40°C to +85°C. It operates as a two-terminal programmable reference in feedback loops of SMPS, battery chargers, and instrumentation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TS432ILT datasheet, TS432ILT pinout, TS432ILT application, or TS432ILT equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-3 package footprint, cathode/anode/reference terminal configuration, low-current stability under capacitive loads, and ±1% initial accuracy with guaranteed thermal drift performance.
Technical Context
The TS432ILT functions as a three-terminal shunt reference where the reference voltage is set externally via resistor dividers between cathode and anode, enabling output adjustment from 1.24 V to 10 V. Its internal bandgap core ensures stable operation with load currents from 60 µA to 12 mA.
It maintains <2 mV/V output voltage sensitivity over 1.24–10 V cathode voltage range and exhibits <16 mV total reference voltage variation across the full industrial temperature range, verified by production testing at 25°C and correlation over –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.24 V nominal, adjustable to 10 V via external resistors - sets precise feedback threshold in regulator control loops |
| Initial Accuracy | ±1% at 25°C - enables single-resistor calibration in cost-sensitive power management designs |
| Temp Coefficient | 100 ppm/°C - ensures ≤1.6 mV drift over –40°C to +85°C ambient for stable reference in unregulated environments |
| Operating Current | 60 µA max at 25°C - supports ultra-low-power battery-operated systems without sacrificing regulation fidelity |
| Static Impedance | 0.25–0.5 Ω - minimizes output voltage perturbation during dynamic load transients in closed-loop systems |
| Long-Term Stability | 120 ppm after 1000 hrs - reduces calibration drift in field-deployed instrumentation and telecom infrastructure |
Pinout & Package
TS432ILT is housed in a standard SOT23-3 plastic micropackage (JEDEC MO-178AA), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Reference ground return path | Serves as common reference node; must be connected directly to system ground for accurate voltage setting |
| Cathode (K) | Adjustable output terminal | Connects to feedback divider top node; voltage here defines regulated output point in SMPS or charger IC |
| Ref (R) | Internal reference tap | Provides access to internal 1.24 V bandgap node; used with external resistors to program output voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive-load stability | Maintains regulation with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitance - eliminates need for series damping resistors in compact power supplies |
| Low-noise operation | 200 nV/√Hz wideband noise (100 Hz–10 kHz) - preserves signal integrity in precision ADC references and sensor front-ends |
| Wide cathode voltage range | Operates with VK = 1.24–10 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V rail systems without level-shifting |
| Off-state leakage | ≤100 nA at VREF = 0 V, VK = 10 V - prevents parasitic discharge in battery backup and always-on monitoring circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt voltage reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | Fixed 2.495 V output; 100 µA typical operating current; ±1% initial tolerance | Requires external resistor network to scale down to 1.24 V; higher quiescent current limits ultra-low-power use | Select when 2.5 V reference suffices and board space allows larger SOT23-6 footprint |
| MAX6008AEUR+T | Fixed 1.25 V output; 35 µA max operating current; ±0.5% initial tolerance | No adjustability; lower drift (50 ppm/°C) but limited to 1.25 V - incompatible with >1.25 V programmable designs | Choose for lowest-power 1.25 V reference where output adjustability is unnecessary |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and MAX6008AEUR+T, TS432ILT uniquely combines 1.24 V adjustability, 60 µA max current, and SOT23-3 footprint - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained designs requiring programmable reference voltages from 1.24 V to 10 V.

FAQ
What is the minimum cathode current required for TS432ILT to regulate accurately?
The TS432ILT requires a minimum cathode current of 60 µA at 25°C and 65 µA across –40°C to +85°C to maintain specified reference voltage accuracy. Below this threshold, regulation degrades and output voltage deviates beyond ±1% tolerance. External resistor values must ensure this current is sustained under all operating conditions.
Can TS432ILT replace TL431 in existing designs without circuit modification?
No - TS432ILT uses a three-terminal (Anode/Cathode/Ref) configuration versus TL431's three-terminal (Anode/Cathode/Ref) but different internal topology and pinout. Direct replacement requires verifying pin mapping (SOT23-3 vs SO-8/SOT23-6), adjusting feedback resistor values for 1.24 V base, and confirming cathode current compliance within 60 µA–12 mA range.
Does TS432ILT require an external capacitor for stability?
No external capacitor is required for basic regulation stability. The TS432ILT is designed to remain stable with capacitive loads up to at least 1 µF, as confirmed in the datasheet. However, adding a 100 nF ceramic capacitor from cathode to anode improves transient response in high-dynamic-load applications like fast-switching SMPS feedback paths.
How does the 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient translate to actual voltage drift?
With a 100 ppm/°C coefficient and 1.24 V nominal output, TS432ILT drifts approximately 0.124 mV per °C. Over the full –40°C to +85°C range (125°C span), maximum drift is 15.5 mV - well within the datasheet-specified 16 mV total variation limit, ensuring predictable performance in industrial environments.
