The APL431L is a 3-terminal low voltage adjustable
precision reference with specified thermal stability
over applicable commercial temperature ranges. Output voltage may be set to any value between V
(1.
ref
24 V) and 20 V with two external resistors (see Figure 2). When used with an photocoupler, the
APL431L is an ideal voltage reference in isolated feedback circuits for 3V to 12V switching-mode power
supplies. This device has a typical output impedance of 0.1Ω. Active output circuitry provides a very
sharp turn-on characteristic, making the APL431L excellent replacements for zener diodes in many
applications, including on-board regulation and adjustable power supplies.

1)To improve the stability of output voltage, a 0.1µF capacitor between cathode and anode of APL431L is
strongly recommended.
2)Set VOUT according to the following equation:
VOUT = VREF(1+R1/R2)+lREF R1
3)Choose the value for RB as follows:
A)The maximum limit for RB should be such that the cathode current(lK) is greater than the minimum op erating current (80µA) at VIN(MIN).
B)The minimum limit for RB should be such that the cathode current (lK) does not exceed 100mA under
all load conditions, and the instantaneous turn-on value for lk does not exceed 150mA. Both of the fo llowing conditions must. be met:
