Product details
Overview
ZXRE060ET5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 5-terminal adjustable precision shunt regulator with 0.6V feedback reference voltage, ±1% initial tolerance at +25°C, -40°C to +125°C operating range, and open-collector output capable of 0.2V–18V operation-enabling low-voltage point-of-load regulation for microprocessor/DSP core rails in isolated DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the ZXRE060ET5TA datasheet, ZXRE060ET5TA pinout, ZXRE060ET5TA application, or ZXRE060ET5TA equivalent, this device supports opto-isolated feedback loops, sub-1V rail regulation, low-dropout linear regulator topologies, and high-PSRR (>45dB at 300kHz) shunt reference designs requiring stable 0.6V threshold accuracy across temperature.
Technical Context
The ZXRE060ET5TA implements a precision bandgap reference (0.6V nominal) driving a high-gain transconductance amplifier (G = 5000 mA/V) that controls an open-collector NPN output stage. Its separate IN, OUT, FB, GND, and PGND terminals decouple power path from reference sensing-enabling true low-input, low-output LDO configurations and opto-coupler-based isolated feedback where VOUT can be as low as 0.2V while VIN remains ≥2.2V.
It operates with unity-gain bandwidth of 600 kHz, dynamic output impedance ≤0.4 Ω (typ), and maintains <12 mV total VFB drift over -40°C to +125°C. Input current remains ≤1 mA across full operating conditions, and FB bias current stays within ±200 nA over temperature-ensuring minimal divider error in high-impedance feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VFB | 0.6 V nominal; sets regulated output via external resistor divider; enables 0.6V–18V adjustable rail control. |
| VOUT Range | 0.2 V to 18 V; allows regulation of ultra-low-core voltages (e.g., 0.6V FPGA cores) and compatibility with auxiliary supply rails. |
| IOUT Max | 15 mA sink capability; sufficient to drive optocoupler LEDs or base of series pass transistors without external boost. |
| Temp Drift | <12 mV (-40°C to +125°C); ensures stable reference under industrial thermal cycling without calibration. |
| PSRR | >45 dB at 300 kHz; rejects high-frequency noise from switching regulators feeding the IN pin. |
| Package | TSOT23-5; pin-compatible with TL432/TLV431 SOT23-3 cathode/anode/reference layout for drop-in upgrade paths. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSOT23-5 package: 1.2 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.9 mm profile, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad (flag) recommended to connect to GND for improved thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PGND) | Power Ground | Emitter return path for output transistor; must be tied to analog GND to avoid ground loop errors. |
| 2 (N/C) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating-no routing or soldering required. |
| 3 (OUT) | Open-Collector Output | Sinks up to 15 mA; connects to cathode of optocoupler LED or base of PNP/NPN pass transistor. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Input | Compares external divider voltage to 0.6V reference; high-impedance input (<200 nA bias). |
| 5 (GND) | Analog Ground | Reference and amplifier ground return; tie directly to PGND at single point near device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0.6V reference voltage | Enables direct regulation of modern sub-1V processor core supplies without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Separate IN/OUT pins | Permits independent voltage domain operation-e.g., 3.3V auxiliary supply powering regulation of 0.8V main rail. |
| 0.2V–18V output compliance | Supports both ultra-low dropout (VIN − VOUT = 0.2V) and high-side shunt configurations. |
| High PSRR (>45 dB @ 300 kHz) | Maintains regulation stability when powered from noisy switcher outputs without additional filtering. |
| TSOT23-5 pin mapping | OUT/FB/GND pins align with TL432 cathode/reference/anode-reducing redesign effort in legacy opto-feedback layouts. |
Applications
| Isolated DC-DC Converter | Core Voltage POL Regulator |

Use Scenario: Point-of-load regulation for FPGA, ASIC, or DSP core supplies requiring tight voltage accuracy below 1V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable shunt reference setting feedback node for synchronous buck controller or discrete LDO pass element. Use Value: Delivers ±1% initial accuracy and <6 mV drift over 0°C–85°C-meeting JEDEC JESD8-12A core voltage tolerance requirements. |
| Low-Dropout Linear Regulator | Adjustable Voltage Reference |
|
Use Scenario: Low-noise, low-quiescent linear regulator built with external PNP pass transistor and local feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 0.6V reference driving pass transistor base; IN pin powered from filtered auxiliary rail. Use Value: Achieves <0.2V dropout at full load by decoupling IN and OUT domains-enabling regulation from 0.8V input to 0.6V output. |
Use Scenario: Programmable reference source for ADCs, DACs, or comparator thresholds in test equipment and sensor interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-stability 0.6V reference scaled via resistor network to generate 1.2V, 2.5V, or 5.0V precision references. Use Value: Provides <0.4 Ω dynamic output impedance and <3.8 mV load regulation-minimizing code-dependent errors in 16-bit data converters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable shunt reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV431ACDBVR | Higher VREF = 1.24V; ±0.5% initial tolerance; no separate PGND pin; max IOUT = 15 mA. | Cannot regulate rails below 1.24V without external level shift; unsuitable for 0.6V–0.9V core supplies. | Select only if 1.24V reference suffices and space-constrained SOT23-3 footprint is mandatory. |
| ZXRE160ET5TA | Higher VFB = 1.6V; same pinout and package; ±0.5%/±1% grades; identical temp range and PSRR. | Designed for 1.6V+ rails (e.g., DDR memory, I/O supplies); not interchangeable for sub-1V regulation. | Choose when regulating 1.6V–5V rails and needing identical thermal/mechanical fit with ZXRE060 layout. |
Compared with TLV431ACDBVR and ZXRE160ET5TA, the ZXRE060ET5TA uniquely enables direct 0.6V rail regulation without external components, supports lower dropout operation via separated IN/OUT pins, and maintains tighter low-voltage accuracy critical for advanced process node processors.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of ZXRE060ET5TA?
The ZXRE060ET5TA requires a minimum IN voltage of 2.2 V over the full -40°C to 0°C range and 2.0 V from 0°C to +125°C. This ensures sufficient headroom for the internal reference and amplifier to maintain regulation at the 0.6 V FB threshold, even with worst-case process and temperature variation.
Can ZXRE060ET5TA be used without an external compensation capacitor?
No-external compensation capacitor C2 (0.1 µF to 10 µF) is required between OUT and GND for stability in all configurations. Omission risks oscillation due to phase margin degradation, especially when driving capacitive loads or optocouplers with long PCB traces, as confirmed in Figure 2–9 of DS33611 Rev. 7-3.
How does the separate PGND and GND pins improve performance?
Separating PGND (power ground for output transistor) from GND (analog ground for reference and amplifier) prevents high-current switching noise on the power path from modulating the reference voltage. This reduces output ripple and improves PSRR-verified by >45 dB rejection at 300 kHz in electrical characteristics testing.
Is ZXRE060ET5TA pin-compatible with TL432 in TSOT23-5 package?
Yes-ZXRE060ET5TA's OUT, FB, and GND pins (pins 3, 4, 5) map directly to TL432's cathode, reference, and anode pins in SOT23-3 layout. This enables mechanical and functional upgrade paths in existing opto-feedback designs, though FB voltage differs (0.6 V vs. 2.495 V), requiring resistor network recalibration.
