LX432
LOW VOLTAGE ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATORS
T HE I NFINITE P OWER OF I NNOVATION
DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES
The LX432 series are low-voltage precision adjustable shunt regulators
with a reference voltage of 1.24V. The
output voltage may be set to any value
between 1.24V and 20V by two external
resistors.
These devices offer low output im-
pedance for improved load regulation — typical output impedance is
250mΩ. The LX432 series operates with
an operating current as low as 80µA,
making these devices suitable for portable and micropower applications.
IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult LinFinity's web site: http://www.linfinity.com.
Low voltage operation enables the
LX432 to be used in the feedback loop
of isolated low voltage power supplies. The minimum output voltage is
determined by the LX432 output voltage
plus the forward voltage drop of the
opto-coupler LED (typically 1.24 + 1.4 =
2.64V minimum). See Figure 10.
The LX432 is offered in 3 and 5-pin
SOT-23 or TO-92 packages, and is a dropin replacement for the TLV431 and
SC431L devices.
