Description
The LM431A/LM431B/LM431C are three terminal output
adjustable regulators with thermal stability over operating
temperature range. The output voltage can be set any value
between V
REF
(approximately 2.5 volts) and 36 volts with
two external resistors. These devices have a typical dynamic
output impedance of 0.2Ω Active output circuit provides a
sharp turn-on characteristic, making these devices excellent
replacement for Zener Diodes in many applications.
