Any and all SANYO products described or contained herein do not have specifications that can handle
applications that require extremely high levels of reliability, such as life-support systems, aircraft’s
control systems, or other applications whose failure can be reasonably expected to result in serious
physical and/or material damage. Consult with your SANYO representative nearest you before using
any SANYO products described or contained herein in such applications.
SANYO assumes no responsibility for equipment failures that result from using products at values that
exceed, even momentarily, rated values (such as maximum ratings, operating condition ranges,or other
parameters) listed in products specifications of any and all SANYO products described or contained

Overview
The L5431 is a high-precision variable shunt voltage regulator IC whose output voltage can be set to a value from
approximately 2.5V to 36V by using external resistors.
Because of low output resistance and fast pulse response,
the L5431 can be most suitably used as high-precision volt-
age reference, high-speed comparator, or zener diode.
Features
• Excellent temperature characteristic of Vref :
50ppm/°C (typ)
• Output voltage settable : Approximately 2.5V to 36V.
• Output flow-in current range : 1mA to 100mA
• Low dynamic resistance : 0.15Ω (typ)
• Fast response.
• Low output noise voltage.
• Small-sized TO-92.

Specifications of any and all SANYO products described or contained herein stipulate the performance,
characteristics, and functions of the described products in the independent state, and are not guarantees
of the performance, characteristics, and functions of the described products as mounted in the customer's
products or equipment. To verify symptoms and states that cannot be evaluated in an independent device,
the customer should always evaluate and test devices mounted in the customer's products or equipment.
