The LM431 is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with
guaranteed temperature stability over the entire temperature
range of operation. It is now available in a chip sized package (4-Bump micro SMD) using National’s micro SMD package technology. The output voltage may be set at any level
greater than 2.5V (V

To ensure that the geometry of the micro SMD package
maintains good physical contact with the printed circuit
board, pin 1 (NC) must be soldered to the pcb. Please see
