RS432
Adjustable Precision Shunt Regulator
General Description
The RS432 series are three‐terminal adjustable regulators with guaranteed thermal stability over applicable
temperature ranges. The output voltage may be set to any value between V
REF
(approximately 1.24 or 1.25
volts) and 18 volts with two external resistors. These devices have a typical dynamic output impedance of 0.2Ω.
Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn‐on characteristic, making these devices excellent replacement
for zener diodes in many applications.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Orister Corporation recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
