DESCRIPTION
The SPX2431 is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt voltage regulator providing a highly accurate
bandgap reference. The SPX2431 acts as an open-loop error amplifier with a 2.5V temperature
compensation reference. The SPX2431’s thermal stability, wide operating current (100mA) and
temperature range (0°C to 105°C) makes it suitable for a variety of applications that require a
low cost, high performance solution. SPX2431A tolerance of 0.5% is proven to be sufficient to
overcome all of the other errors in the system to virtually eliminate the need for trimming in the
power supply manufacturer's assembly line and contribute a significant cost savings.
The output voltage may be adjusted to any value between V
REF
and 20 volts with two external
resistors. In the standard shunt configuration, the combination of a low temperature coefficient,
sharp turn on characteristics, low output impedance, and programmable output voltage makes
this precision reference an excellent error amplifier. The SPX2431 is available in SOT-23-3
package.
