GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The L432 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt
regulator utilizing an accurate 1.24V band gap
reference. The output voltage can be set to any
value between 1.24V (V
REF
) to 18V with two
external resistors as shown in the typical
application circuit. The device exhibit a wide
operating current range of 0.2 to 100 mA with a
typical dynamic impedance of 0.25Ω. Active
output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on
characteristic, making the L432 excellent replacements for low-voltage zener diodes in
many applications, including on-board regulation and adjustable power supplies.
When used with an opto-coupler, the L432 is
ideal voltage reference in isolated feedback
circuits for 3.3V switching-mode power supplies.
The L432 shunt regulator is available in two
voltage tolerances (0.5% & 1.0%) and three
package options (TO-92, SOT-23-3 and SO-8).

Applications Information – Stability
Selection of load capacitance when using
L432 as a shunt regulator
When the L432 is used as a shunt regulator,
two options for selection of CL are
recommended for optimal stability:
1. No load capacitance across the device,
decouple at the load.
2. Large capacitance across the device,
optional decoupling at the load.
The reason for this is that L432 exhibits
instability with capacitances in the range of
1nF to 1uf (approx.) at light cathode currents
(up to 3mA typical). The device is less stable
the lower the cathode voltage has been set for.
Therefore while the device will be perfectly
stable operating at a cathode current of 10mA
with a 0.1uF capacitor across it, it will oscillate
transiently during start-up as the cathode
current passes through the instability region.
Selecting a very low
(or preferably, no)capacitance, or alternatively a high capacitance (such as 10uF)
will avoid this issue altogether. Since the
user will probably wish to have local
decoupling at the load anyway, the most
cost effective method is to use no
capacitance at all directly across the
device. PCB trace/via resistance and
inductance prevent the local load decoupling from causing the oscillation during
the transient start-up phase. Note : if the
L432 is located right at the load, so the
load decoupling capacitor is directly across
it, then this capacitor will have to be
≦ 100pF or ≧ 1uF.
