TLV431CLP datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLV431CLP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for TLV431CLP?
  The recommended operating temperature range for TLV431CLP is -40°C to 125°C.
• How do I ensure stability when using TLV431CLP as a voltage reference?
  To ensure stability, it's recommended to decouple the input pin with a 10nF to 100nF capacitor and use a low-ESR capacitor (e.g., ceramic or film capacitor) for the output capacitor.
• What is the minimum output current required to maintain regulation?
  The minimum output current required to maintain regulation is typically around 100 μA, but it's recommended to check the specific application requirements.
• Can I use TLV431CLP as a voltage regulator?
  While TLV431CLP can be used as a voltage regulator, it's not recommended due to its limited current capability (up to 15 mA). Instead, consider using a dedicated voltage regulator IC.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of TLV431CLP?
  The output voltage of TLV431CLP can be calculated using the formula: Vout = Vref x (1 + R1/R2), where Vref is the internal reference voltage (2.5 V), and R1 and R2 are the external resistors.
