The ZR431 is a three terminal adjustable shunt regulator
offering excellent temperature stability and output current
handling capability up to 100mA. T he output voltage may be
set to any chosen voltage between 2.5 and 20 volts by
selection of two external divider resistors.
The devices can be used as a replacement for zener diodes
in many applications requiring an improvement in zener
performance.
