TLV431BCLP

Overview

The TLV431BCLP is a low-voltage adjustable precision shunt regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within an input voltage range up to 7 V and provides an adjustable output voltage up to 6 V. The device features an initial accuracy of 0.5% and a temperature coefficient of 138 PPM/C. It supports a maximum shunt current of 15 mA with a minimum operating current of 80 uA. The component is housed in a TO-92-3 through-hole package and functions across a wide temperature range from -40 C to +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Provides adjustable precision voltage regulation suitable for low-voltage applications
• Offers high initial accuracy for stable reference performance
• Operates effectively across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Low-voltage power supply feedback loops
• Precision voltage references in portable electronics
• Battery-powered system monitoring circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the end-of-life status before procurement, as discontinuance notifications may apply. Confirm that the TO-92-3 through-hole package aligns with existing PCB footprints. Ensure design requirements match the 7 V maximum input limit and 15 mA current capability. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by specific manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low-voltage operation is critical, as it supports inputs up to 7 V unlike standard 36 V regulators. The 0.5% accuracy suits applications requiring tighter tolerance than standard variants. Consider the through-hole package for prototyping or specific mechanical mounting needs. Verify thermal management capabilities given the wide operating temperature range.
