LMV431AIZ/NOPB, Voltage References Low Vltg Adj Shunt Reg

The LMV431A series precision Shunt Regulator capable of adjustment to 30V. Negative feedback from the cathode to the adjust pin controls the cathode voltage, much like a non-inverting op amp configuration. A two-resistor voltage divider terminated at the adjust pin controls the gain of a 1.24V band-gap reference. Shorting the cathode to the adjust pin (voltage follower) provides a cathode voltage of a 1.24V. The LMV431A has respective initial tolerance of 1% and functionally lend themselves to several applications that require zener diode type performance at low voltages. Applications include a 3 to 2.7V low drop-out regulator, an error amplifier in a 3V offline switching regulator and even as a voltage detector. These parts are typically stable with capacitive loads greater than 10nF and less than 50pF. • Fast turn-ON response• Low-voltage operation• Temperature compensated for industrial temperature range• 55µA Low operation current• 0.25R Low output impedance• Green product and no Sb/Br
