Product details
Overview
TS4436ICT from STMicroelectronics is a four-terminal adjustable shunt voltage reference with 0.6V ±1% initial accuracy, 150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and ultra-low 75mV max saturation voltage at 20mA sink current; it operates down to 1.7V supply and targets secondary-side feedback in isolated DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the TS4436ICT datasheet, TS4436ICT pinout, TS4436ICT application, or TS4436ICT equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-collector output architecture, sub-1.8V regulation capability, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), low 150µA supply current, and SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained SMPS designs.
Technical Context
The TS4436ICT implements a precision 0.6V bandgap reference core with integrated error amplifier and open-collector NPN output transistor. Its REF pin senses feedback voltage in closed-loop configurations, while the SINK terminal delivers proportional current to regulate output via optocoupler-coupled feedback paths.
Unlike fixed-reference ICs, it supports adjustable output via external resistor dividers connected to REF and V; its 1.7V minimum operating voltage and 75mV max VSAT enable regulation of outputs as low as 1.8V - a critical capability for modern low-voltage isolated supplies where TL431-based solutions fail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1% at 25°C; ensures stable feedback threshold for ±1% output voltage tolerance in regulated supplies |
| Tempco | 150 ppm/°C; limits Vref drift to ±0.0126V over –40°C to +85°C, supporting industrial-grade stability |
| Saturation Voltage | ≤75mV at 20mA sink; enables regulation of 1.8V outputs when series-connected with optocoupler LED |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 10V; allows operation directly from low-voltage auxiliary rails without LDO pre-regulation |
| Supply Current | 150µA typical at 2mA sink; minimizes quiescent loss in standby and light-load conditions |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
TS4436ICT is housed in a 5-pin SC70 plastic micropackage (JEDEC MO-203AA), measuring 2.2mm × 1.35mm × 0.9mm, with gull-wing leads and lead-free finish compliant with ECOPACK® requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PGND) | Power Ground | Dedicated ground return for internal reference and amplifier circuitry; separate from signal GND to minimize noise coupling |
| 2 (GND) | Signal Ground | Reference ground for REF input; must be tied to PGND externally but kept low-impedance and noise-isolated in layout |
| 3 (REF) | Feedback Input | High-impedance node sensing divided output voltage; regulates Vref = 0.6V by adjusting sink current at SINK |
| 4 (V) | Supply Input | Primary power rail connection (1.7–10V); powers internal reference, amplifier, and output stage |
| 5 (SINK) | Open-Collector Output | NPN collector output sinking up to 20mA; requires external pull-up to VCC or optocoupler anode for feedback loop closure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable 0.6V Reference | Enables precise output regulation across wide voltage ranges using external resistor divider - no trimming required |
| Ultra-Low Saturation Voltage | 75mV max at 20mA allows direct series connection with optocoupler LED even at 1.8V output, eliminating need for auxiliary bias winding |
| Low Supply Current | 150µA typical enables high-efficiency operation in standby and light-load modes without compromising regulation accuracy |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation ensures reliable performance in embedded power systems without thermal derating |
Applications
| Isolated DC/DC Converter | Low-Voltage SMPS |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431ACDBVR | Fixed 2.495V reference; higher 2.5V min cathode-anode voltage; 100ppm/°C tempco; SOT-23-3 package | Requires resistive divider to achieve sub-2V outputs; cannot regulate below ~2.5V without additional components | Select when higher reference voltage and tighter tempco are acceptable, and board space permits larger SOT-23-3 footprint |
| MAX8501ESA+ | 0.6V reference; 100ppm/°C tempco; 200µA supply current; SO-8 package; no open-collector output | Integrated op-amp output drives external transistor directly; not compatible with optocoupler-based isolation schemes | Select when driving discrete pass devices is preferred over optocoupler feedback, and SO-8 mounting is acceptable |
Compared with TL431ACDBVR and MAX8501ESA+, TS4436ICT uniquely combines 0.6V reference, ultra-low VSAT, and open-collector output in SC70-5 - enabling compact, low-voltage isolated regulation unattainable with either alternative.

FAQ
What is the maximum sink current rating for TS4436ICT?
The TS4436ICT is rated for continuous sink current up to 20mA under normal operating conditions, with absolute maximum rating of 30mA. At 20mA, saturation voltage remains ≤75mV, ensuring reliable operation in optocoupler-coupled feedback loops without excessive power dissipation in the device.
Can TS4436ICT replace TL431 in existing designs?
TS4436ICT can replace TL431 only in designs requiring ≤1.8V output regulation or where SC70-5 footprint and ultra-low VSAT are critical. It is not pin-compatible: TL431 uses 3 pins (KA, R, A), while TS4436ICT uses 5 pins (PGND, GND, REF, V, SINK) and requires separate ground routing for optimal noise immunity.
What is the role of the PGND and GND pins?
PGND (Pin 1) serves as the power ground return for internal reference and amplifier circuitry, while GND (Pin 2) is the dedicated signal ground reference for the REF input. They must be connected externally but routed separately on PCB to prevent switching noise from power ground from corrupting the high-impedance REF node.
Does TS4436ICT require external compensation?
No external compensation is required for basic operation. The internal amplifier is unity-gain stable with typical optocoupler and divider networks. However, if used with high-capacitance feedback paths or fast-response controllers, a small capacitor (10–100pF) from REF to GND may be added to suppress high-frequency oscillation observed in some isolated converter layouts.
