The ZXRE060 is a 5-terminal adjustable shunt regulator
offering excellent temperature stability and output
handling capability. The ZXRE060 simplifies the design of
isolated low voltage DC-DC regulators. With its low 0.6V
FB pin, it can control the regulation of rails as low 0.6V.
This makes it ideal for state of the art
microprocessor/DSP and PLD core voltage POL
converters.
The device open-collector output can operate from 0.2V
to 18V and regulated output voltage can be set by
selection of two external divider resistors.
Separating the input from the open collector output
enables the ZXRE060 to be used to make low-cost low
drop-out regulators operating at low input voltages.
The ZXRE060 is available in two grades with initial
tolerances of 0.5% and 1% for the A and standard grades
respectively. It is available in space saving low profile
5 pin SC70/SOT353, thin SOT23 and very small
DFN1520 packages.
The ZXRE060 in TSOT23-5 has its OUT, GND and
FB pins matching the Cathode, Anode and reference pins
of the TL432 and TLV431 in SOT23-3, thereby facil itating
simple upgrade paths.

Function Block Diagram
The ZXRE060 differs from most other shunt regulators in that it has separate input a nd output pins and a low voltage reference.
This enables it to regulate rails down to 600mV and makes the part ideal for isolated power suppl y applications that use optocouplers in the feedback loop and where the open-collector output is required to operate down to voltages as low as 200mV.
The wide input voltage range of 2V to 18V and output volta ge range of 0.2V to 18V ena bles the ZXRE060 to be powered from
an auxiliary rail, while controlli ng a master rail which is above the auxiliar y rail voltage, or belo w the minimum V
allows it to operate as a low-dropout voltage regulator for microprocessor/DSP/PLD cores.
As with other shunt regulators (and shunt references), the ZXRE060 compares its internal amplifier FB pin to a high accurac y
internal reference; if FB is below the reference then OUT turns off, but if FB is above the reference then OUT sinks current – up
to a maximum of 15mA.

Operation at the absolute maximum rating for extended periods may reduce device reliability.
Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events.
Suitable ESD precautions should be taken when handling and transporting these devices.
