ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATORS
General Description
The AZ431 series ICs are three-terminal adjustable
shunt regulators with guaranteed thermal stability over
a full operation range. These ICs feature sharp turn-on
characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low
output impedance, which make them ideal substitutes
for Zener diodes in applications such as switching
power supply, charger and other adjustable regulators.
The AZ431 series ICs contain two voltage types,
AZ431-A for 40V and AZ431-B for 20V. The output
voltage of both types can be set to any value between
V
REF
(2.5V) and the corresponding maximum cathode
voltage.
The AZ431 precision reference is offered in two band-
gap tolerance: 0.4% and 0.8%.
These ICs are available in 5 Packages: TO-92, SOT-23-
3, SOT-23-5, SOT-89 and SOIC-8.
