The LMV431and LMV431A are precision 1.24V shunt regulators capableof adjustment to 30V. Negative feedback from
the cathode to the adjust pin controls the cathode voltage,
much like a non-inverting op amp configuration (Refer to
Symbol and Functional diagrams). A two resistor voltage divider terminated atthe 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 LMV431 and LMV431A have respective initial tolerances of 1.5%and 1%. Both grades are available in commercial and Industrial temperature ranges.
The LMV431 and LMV431A functionally lends themselves to
several applications that require zener diode type performance at low voltages. Applications include a 3V to 2.7V low
drop-out regulator, an error amplifier in a 3V off-line switching regulator and even as a voltage detector. The part is typically stable with capacitive loads greater than 10nF and less
than 50 pF.
The LMV431 and LMV431A provide performance at a competitive price.
