AP431S
LOW CATHODE CURRENT ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATOR
Description
The AP431S is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with
guaranteed thermal stability over a full operation range. It features
sharp turn-on characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low
output impedance, which makes it ideal substitute for Zener diode in
applications such as switching power supply, charger and other
adjustable regulators.
The AP431S has the same electrical specifications as the industry
standard 431 except that it features a low minimum cathode current
for regulation. The typical value of 50μA makes the parts ideal for
very low power dissipation applications.
The output voltage of AP431S can be set to any value between V
REF
(2.5V/2.495V) and the corresponding maximum cathode voltage
(36V).
The AP431S is offered in two grade initial voltage tolerance at +25°
C,
0.5% and 1%.
This IC is available in 3 packages: TO92 (ammo packing), SOT23
and SOT89.
