The ZXRE160 is a 5-terminal adjustable shunt regulator offering
excellent temperature stability and output handling capability. This
device offers an enhancement to the ZXRE060 part for use in a
comparator mode applications.
In shunt regulator mode, the ZXRE160 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 the part 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 ZXRE160 to be used to make low-cost low drop-out
regulators operating at low input voltages.
The ZXRE160 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 TSOT25 and very
small DFN1520 packages.

ZXRE160
NEW PRODUCT
The ZXRE160 differs from most other shunt regulators in that it
has separate input and output pins and a low voltage reference.
This enables it to regulate rails down to 600mV and makes the
part ideal for isolated power supply applications that use
opto-couplers 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 voltage
range of 0.2V to 18V enables the ZXRE160 to be powered from
an auxiliary rail, while controlling a master rail which is above the
auxiliary rail voltage, or below 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
ZXRE160 compares its internal amplifier FB pin to a high
accuracy 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.
These are stress ratings only. Operation outside the absolute maximum ratings may cause device failure.
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.
