Product details
Overview
ZTL432BQFTA from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade adjustable precision shunt regulator in SOT23 package, featuring 0.5% reference voltage tolerance at +25°C, -40°C to +125°C operating range, 2.5V to 20V programmable output, and 100mA sink current capability. It serves as a high-stability voltage reference in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC converters and linear regulators.
For engineers reviewing the ZTL432BQFTA datasheet, ZTL432BQFTA pinout, ZTL432BQFTA application, or ZTL432BQFTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, SOT23 pinout distinction from ZTL431BQ, 0.2Ω dynamic output impedance, and stability with ≥4.7nF anode–cathode capacitance.
Technical Context
The ZTL432BQFTA implements a bandgap-based precision reference with internal error amplifier and NPN output stage, configured as a three-terminal shunt regulator. Its cathode-anode voltage range (2.5V–20V) and low 0.2Ω typical dynamic impedance enable stable regulation across wide load and line variations.
Unlike ZTL431BQ, the ZTL432BQFTA uses a modified SOT23 pinout (Ref/Anode/N/C instead of Ref/Cathode/Anode), requiring PCB layout revision for drop-in replacement. It maintains functional equivalence to TL432 but extends max cathode voltage to 20V and supports automotive ambient conditions up to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF Tolerance | ±0.5% at +25°C (B-grade); ensures tight initial setpoint for feedback accuracy in safety-critical power supplies |
| VKA Range | 2.5V to 20V; enables programmable output voltage using two external resistors without external op-amp |
| IKA Max | 100mA continuous sink current; supports direct regulation of medium-power secondary-side circuits |
| RZ Dynamic Impedance | 0.2Ω typical; minimizes output voltage deviation under fast load transients in closed-loop systems |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +125°C ambient; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood automotive applications |
| VDEV over Temp | ≤34mV (-40°C to +125°C); limits reference drift in wide-temperature industrial control systems |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM; meets IEC 61000-4-2 level for robustness in manufacturing and field environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm body, matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Ref) | Reference Input | High-impedance input sensing divider node; connects to resistor network midpoint for voltage setting |
| 2 (Anode) | Anode Terminal | Low-side return path; must be connected to system ground or common rail in shunt configuration |
| 3 (N/C) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external connection permitted |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL432ACDBVR | Non-automotive grade; 1.5% VREF tolerance; max VKA = 18V; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Limited to industrial/commercial power supplies; not suitable for automotive ECU or ADAS modules | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 and 0.5% tolerance are unnecessary |
| ZTL431BQFTA | Same electrical specs but SOT23 pinout: Ref/Cathode/Anode (vs. Ref/Anode/N/C); requires PCB redesign | Compatible in same footprint but incompatible pin mapping-requires netlist and layout update | Choose only if legacy ZTL431 design reuse is prioritized and board revision is feasible |
Compared with TL432ACDBVR and ZTL431BQFTA, the ZTL432BQFTA uniquely delivers automotive qualification, tighter 0.5% reference tolerance, and SOT23 pinout optimized for new designs requiring N/C terminal isolation-making it the preferred choice for next-generation automotive power management.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 3 (N/C) on ZTL432BQFTA?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain floating-no external connection is allowed. Unlike ZTL431BQ's Cathode-on-Pin-2 configuration, this N/C pin enables distinct routing separation in high-density automotive PCB layouts and prevents accidental shorting during assembly.
Can ZTL432BQFTA replace TL432 in existing designs?
Yes, electrically-but only with careful validation. ZTL432BQFTA matches TL432's 2.5V–20V range and 100mA sink capability, yet adds AEC-Q100 qualification and tighter 0.5% tolerance. However, its SOT23 pinout differs (Ref/Anode/N/C), so PCB layout and schematic must be updated to avoid misconnection.
What capacitor value ensures stability in ZTL432BQFTA applications?
A minimum 4.7nF ceramic capacitor between anode and cathode is required for guaranteed stability across all operating conditions. This value suppresses oscillation in the typical instability zone shown in the datasheet's gain-vs-frequency plot and is validated for loads up to 100mA.
How does ZTL432BQFTA differ from ZTL431BQ beyond pinout?
Electrically identical-same VREF tolerance, temperature drift, dynamic impedance, and sink current. The sole difference is pin assignment in SOT23: ZTL432BQFTA places Anode on Pin 2 and leaves Pin 3 N/C, whereas ZTL431BQ places Cathode on Pin 2. This change isolates the anode node for improved noise immunity in sensitive feedback paths.
