AS431
Precision Adjustable Shunt Reference
Description
The AS431 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator providing a highly
accurate bandgap reference. The adjustable shunt regulator is ideal for a wide
variety of linear applications that can be implemented using external compo-
nents to obtain adjustable currents and voltages.
In the standard shunt configuration, the combination of low temperature coef-
ficient (TC), sharp turn-on characteristics, low output impedance and pro-
grammable output voltage make this precision reference a perfect zener diode
replacement.
The AS431 precision adjustable shunt reference is offered in four bandgap tol-
erances: ±0.25%, ±0.5%, ±1.0%, and ±2.0%.
