Product details
Overview
ZXRE060AH5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 5-pin adjustable precision shunt regulator with 0.6V feedback reference voltage, ±0.5% initial tolerance at +25°C, and operation over –40°C to +125°C. It features separate IN/OUT pins, open-collector output (0.2V–18V), and enables isolated DC-DC regulation down to 0.6V rails for microprocessor core voltage POL converters.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE060AH5TA datasheet, ZXRE060AH5TA pinout, ZXRE060AH5TA application, or ZXRE060AH5TA equivalent, key selection factors include its low 0.6V VFB, <12mV temp drift over –40°C to +125°C, 15mA max output sink current, and SC70-5/SOT353 package compatibility with space-constrained power management designs.
Technical Context
The ZXRE060AH5TA implements a high-accuracy bandgap reference (0.6V nominal) driving an open-collector NPN output stage, with independent PGND and GND pins enabling separation of power and analog ground paths. Its amplifier transconductance is 5000 mA/V and unity-gain bandwidth is 600 kHz.
It operates with input voltage range 2.2V–18V (–40°C to 0°C) or 2V–18V (0°C to +125°C), supports output regulation from 0.2V to 18V, and maintains <1 mV line regulation over full VIN range - critical for stable feedback in opto-isolated converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VFB | 0.6V nominal; sets regulated output via external resistor divider; enables 0.6V core rail control |
| VFB Tolerance | ±0.5% at +25°C (A-grade); ensures tight output accuracy without trimming in production |
| Temp Drift | <12mV over –40°C to +125°C; guarantees stable regulation across automotive/industrial thermal ranges |
| IOUT Max | 15mA sink capability; sufficient to drive optocoupler LEDs or small gate drivers directly |
| PSRR | >45dB at 300kHz; suppresses high-frequency noise on auxiliary supply rails feeding the IN pin |
| ZOUT | 0.6Ω max dynamic output impedance; maintains loop stability with minimal external compensation |
| VIN Range | 2V–18V; allows operation from low-voltage aux rails while regulating higher main rails |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5/SOT353 - ultra-compact 1.25mm × 2.1mm surface-mount package with 0.65mm pitch; rated θJA = 400°C/W, PDIS = 310mW at TA = +25°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PGND) | Power Ground | Emitter return path for output transistor; must be tied to GND but kept low-impedance for power switching |
| 2 (N/C) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or avoid PCB pad to prevent parasitic coupling |
| 3 (OUT) | Open-Collector Output | Sinks up to 15mA; connects to cathode of optocoupler LED or base of series pass transistor |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Input | Compares 0.6V internal reference; connects to voltage divider midpoint on regulated rail |
| 5 (GND) | Analog Ground | Reference and amplifier ground return; tie to PGND at single point near device for noise isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0.6V reference voltage | Enables direct regulation of sub-1V microprocessor core supplies without level-shifting circuitry |
| Separate IN/OUT pins | Permits powering from auxiliary rail while controlling master rail at different voltage - essential for isolated flyback feedback |
| 0.2V–18V output compliance | Supports sinking current even when output rail drops below 0.6V (e.g., during startup or fault conditions) |
| High PSRR (>45dB @ 300kHz) | Rejects switching noise from adjacent DC-DC stages, preserving feedback loop integrity |
| Low FB bias current (≤–45nA) | Minimizes resistor-divider loading error; enables use of high-value resistors for low quiescent current |
Applications
| Isolated DC-DC Converters | Core Voltage POL Converters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side feedback in flyback or forward converters using optocouplers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision shunt reference providing stable 0.6V reference to drive optocoupler LED; OUT pin sinks current proportional to output deviation. Use Value: Enables accurate regulation of isolated outputs down to 0.6V with <12mV total temp drift - critical for maintaining ±1% output tolerance across temperature. |
Use Scenario: Point-of-load regulation for FPGA, DSP, or ASIC core supplies requiring 0.6V–1.2V at up to 20A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Feedback element in low-dropout linear regulators or as error amplifier in discrete LDOs with external pass transistor. Use Value: 0.6V VFB eliminates need for resistive scaling of core rail voltage, reducing divider error and improving load transient response. |
| Low-Voltage LDOs | Adjustable Voltage References |
|
Use Scenario: Low-input-voltage linear regulators where VIN may be only 100–200mV above VOUT. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shunt regulator controlling base/gate of series pass element; IN pin powered from same rail as OUT, leveraging 0.2V output compliance. Use Value: Supports dropout voltages as low as 200mV - enables efficient regulation from battery or intermediate bus rails near core voltage. |
Use Scenario: Programmable reference source for ADCs, DACs, or comparators requiring precise, temperature-stable voltage setpoints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable shunt reference with external resistor network; FB pin used as high-impedance sense node. Use Value: ±0.5% initial tolerance and <12mV drift ensure reference accuracy remains within 0.7% over full industrial temperature range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV431AIDBVR | Higher 1.24V reference; ±0.5% tolerance; 100µA max IK; SOT23-3 package | Cannot regulate below 1.24V without external scaling; unsuitable for direct 0.6V core rails | Select when 1.24V reference suffices and board space favors 3-pin SOT23 |
| ZXRE160AET5TA | 1.6V reference; same package/pinout; ±0.5% tolerance; lower temp drift (<8mV –40°C to +125°C) | Requires resistor divider for sub-1.6V rails; better for 1.8V+ applications needing tighter drift | Choose for higher-voltage rails where improved drift performance justifies reference scaling overhead |
Compared with TLV431AIDBVR and ZXRE160AET5TA, the ZXRE060AH5TA uniquely delivers 0.6V reference without external level-shifting, making it the only option for direct sub-1V regulation in compact SC70-5 layouts - critical for next-gen low-power SoC power delivery.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage at the IN pin?
The ZXRE060AH5TA requires a minimum IN voltage of 2.0V over –40°C to +125°C and 2.2V over –40°C to 0°C. This ensures proper biasing of the internal reference and amplifier. Operation below these thresholds risks loss of regulation and increased output drift; design margin should include 100–200mV headroom for ripple and drop.
Can the FB pin be used without external resistors?
No - the FB pin must be connected to a resistor divider between the regulated output and ground to set the target voltage. With no external network, the device cannot establish closed-loop regulation. The 0.6V reference is internal only; FB serves solely as a high-impedance comparison node (bias current ≤–45nA), not a buffered output.
How does the N/C pin affect PCB layout?
Pin 2 is internally unconnected and must remain floating - no trace, pad, or copper pour should connect to it. Including a pad risks parasitic capacitance or ESD coupling into adjacent pins (especially FB or OUT), degrading noise immunity and loop stability. Recommended practice is to omit the pad entirely in footprint design.
Is the exposed flag on DFN1520H4-6 present in SC70-5/SOT353?
No - the exposed flag (thermal pad) exists only in the DFN1520H4-6 package, where it is electrically isolated and intended to be connected to GND for thermal enhancement. The SC70-5/SOT353 package has no exposed pad; its thermal path relies solely on leads. Layouts for ZXRE060AH5TA must omit thermal vias or solder paste under the package body.
