ZXRE060AET5TA

Overview

The ZXRE060AET5TA is a 5-terminal adjustable precision shunt regulator manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a low reference voltage of 0.6V and an initial tolerance of ±0.5%. The device operates with an input voltage range of 2V to 18V and supports an output voltage range from 0.2V to 18V. Maximum sink current is 15mA, and it functions within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It is housed in a TSOT23-5 package.

Feature Summary

• Provides a low 0.6V feedback pin for precise regulation of rails down to 0.6V
• Features separate input and open-collector output pins to facilitate low-dropout operation
• Offers high accuracy with 0.5% initial tolerance at +25°C

Applications

• Isolated DC-DC converters
• Core voltage POL converters for microprocessors and DSPs
• Low voltage low-dropout linear regulators
• Adjustable voltage references

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the datasheet indicates this series is not recommended for new designs. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package and tolerance specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS and lead-free requirements before integration into production systems.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring regulation of very low voltage rails near 0.6V. The separate input and output terminals allow flexibility in powering the device from auxiliary rails while controlling master rails. Consider the 15mA maximum sink current limit when sizing external components for load requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZXRE060 family of adjustable precision shunt regulators. It serves as a specialized alternative to standard shunt references by enabling control of voltages significantly lower than typical 2.5V or 3.3V references. The TSOT23-5 package provides a space-saving solution for surface-mount applications.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly states that the ZXRE060 is not recommended for new designs and recommends using the ZXRE160 instead.
