The TL431, A, B integrated circuits are three–terminal programmable
shunt regulator diodes. These monolithic IC voltage references operate as a
low temperature coefficient zener which is programmable from V
with two external resistors. These devices exhibit a wide operating current
range of 1.0 mA to 100 mA with a typical dynamic impedance of 0.22 Ω. The
characteristics of these references make them excellent replacements for
zener diodes in many applications such as digital voltmeters, power
supplies, and op amp circuitry. The 2.5 V reference makes it convenient to
obtain a stable reference from 5.0 V logic supplies, and since the TL431, A,
B operates as a shunt regulator, it can be used as either a positive or
negative voltage reference.

SOP–8 is an internally modified SO–8 package. Pins 2,
3, 6 and 7 are electrically common to the die attach flag.
This internal lead frame modification decreases power
dissipation capability when appropriately mounted on a
printed circuit board. SOP–8 conforms to all external
dimensions of the standard SO–8 package.

TL431, A, B Series
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The TL431 is a programmable precision reference which
is used in a variety of ways. It serves as a reference voltage
in circuits where a non–standard reference voltage is
needed. Other uses include feedback control for driving an
optocoupler in power supplies, voltage monitor, constant
current source, constant current sink and series pass
regulator. In each of these applications, it is critical to
maintain stability of the device at various operating currents
and load capacitances. In some cases the circuit designer
can estimate the stabilization capacitance from the stability
boundary conditions curve provided in Figure 15. However,
these typical curves only provide stability information at
specific cathode voltages and at a specific load condition.
Additional information is needed to determine the
capacitance needed to optimize phase margin or allow for
process variation.
A simplified model of the TL431 is shown in Figure 31.
When tested for stability boundaries, the load resistance is
150 W. The model reference input consists of an input
transistor and a dc emitter resistance connected to the
device anode. A dependent current source, Gm, develops a
current whose amplidute is determined by the difference
between the 1.78 V internal reference voltage source and the
input transistor emitter voltage. A portion of Gm flows through
compensation capacitance, CP2. The voltage across C
drives the output dependent current source, Go, which is
connected across the device cathode and anode.
Model component values are:
V
= 1.78 V
ref
Gm = 0.3 + 2.7 exp (–IC/26 mA)
where IC is the device cathode current and Gm is in mhos
Go = 1.25 (Vcp2) µmhos.
Resistor and capacitor typical values are shown on the
model. Process tolerances are ±20% for resistors, ±10% for
capacitors, and ±40% for transconductances.
An examination of the device model reveals the location of
circuit poles and zeroes:

Also, the transfer dc voltage gain of the TL431 is:

The DC gain is:
Loop gain+G
The resulting transfer function Bode plot is shown in
Figure 32. The asymptotic plot may be expressed as the
following equation:
The Bode plot shows a unity gain crossover frequency of
approximately 600 kHz. The phase margin, calculated from
the equation, would be 55.9 degrees. This model matches
the Open–Loop Bode Plot of Figure 12. The total loop would
have a unity gain frequency of about 300 kHz with a phase
margin of about 44 degrees.

the transfer gain.
The DC gain is:

Note that the transfer function now has an extra pole
formed by the load capacitance and load resistance.
Note that the crossover frequency in this case is about
250 kHz, having a phase margin of about –46 degrees.
Therefore, instability of this circuit is likely.

With three poles, this system is unstable. The only hope
for stabilizing this circuit is to add a zero. However, that can
only be done by adding a series resistance to the output
capacitance, which will reduce its effectiveness as a noise
filter. Therefore, practically, in reference voltage applications,
the best solution appears to be to use a smaller value of
capacitance in low noise applications or a very large value to
provide noise filtering and a dominant pole rolloff of the
system.
