Trend Analysis
1.What is TL431 used for?
The TL431 is a "programmable precision reference" and is commonly used in switching power supplies, where it provides feedback indicating if the output voltage is too high or too low. By using a special circuit called a bandgap, the TL431 provides a stable voltage reference across a wide temperature range.
2.What is TL431 transistor?
The TL431 is a regulator diode whose output voltage can be programmed by changing the value of resistors connected to it. It acts almost like a Zener diode except for that the voltage rating of this IC is programmable. It is commonly used to provide negative or positive voltage references.
3.How is TL431 measured?
The multimeter range is set to Rxlk, the black pen is connected to A pole, and the red pen is connected to K pole. At this time, the forward resistance of the Zener diode is measured. To measure the reverse resistance elbow, the range should be set to Rxlk.
4.What are the TL431 pin functions?
TL431 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt reference voltage source with good thermal stability. Its output voltage can be arbitrarily set to any value in the range from Vref (2.5V) to 36V with two resistors. The typical dynamic impedance of this device is 0.2Ω. It can be used to replace Zener diodes in many applications, such as digital voltmeters, operational amplifier circuits, adjustable voltage power supplies, switching power supplies, and so on.
