RC0431AMCT

Overview

The RC0431AMCT is a two-terminal voltage reference manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a temperature range of -25 °C to 85 °C and utilizes a SOT-23 package with five pins. The device functions as a programmable shunt regulator, allowing the output voltage to be set between 2.495 V and 36 V using two external resistors. It is RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Feature Summary

• Programmable output voltage capability via external resistors
• Two-terminal shunt regulator architecture
• RoHS compliant and lead-free construction

Applications

• Precision voltage references in measurement systems
• Shunt regulation for low-power circuits
• Voltage monitoring applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AMCT' against official Fairchild documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required operating temperature range and package dimensions for your design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, programmable shunt regulator is needed. The SOT-23 package suits space-constrained designs. Confirm that the external resistor network can achieve the desired voltage setting within the specified operational limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FAN431 series of programmable shunt regulators from Fairchild Semiconductor. It shares functional similarities with other variants like the FAN431LZXA but differs in packaging and specific electrical characteristics defined by the manufacturer's datasheet.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the FAN431L or FAN431_11. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
