Description
The AS431I is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with
guaranteed thermal stability over a full operation range. It features
sharp turn-on characteristics, low temperature coefficient and low
output impedance, which make it ideal substitute for Zener diode in
applications such as switching power supply, charger and other
adjustable regulators.
The output voltage of AS431I can be set to any value between V
REF
(2.5V) and the corresponding maximum cathode voltage (36V).
The AS431I is offered in two grade initial voltage tolerance at +25oC,
0.5%, and 1%.
This IC is available in 3 packages: TO-92 (bulk or ammo packing),
SOT-23 and SOT-89.
