Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage range of the LM431AIM/NOPB?
The LM431AIM/NOPB supports an adjustable output voltage from 2.495V to 36V. The output voltage is set using two external resistors connected to the reference (REF) pin, giving designers flexible control over the regulation target in their circuit.
What accuracy grades are available for the LM431AIM/NOPB?
The LM431AIM/NOPB is available in three accuracy grades: standard 2%, improved 1%, and high-precision 0.5%. The 'A' designation in the part number denotes the 1% accuracy grade, making it suitable for applications requiring tighter voltage regulation tolerances.
What package does the LM431AIM/NOPB come in and what does the suffix mean?
The LM431AIM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC-8) package. The 'M' suffix denotes the SOIC-8 package, and '/NOPB' indicates it is a lead-free (Pb-free), RoHS-compliant version per Texas Instruments' green packaging standard.
What are typical applications for the LM431AIM/NOPB?
Typical applications include precision voltage references, feedback regulation in switching power supplies, error amplifiers in DC-DC converters, battery charger circuits, and programmable shunt regulators. Its adjustable nature and high accuracy make it suitable for both industrial and consumer power management designs.
What is the maximum output current of the LM431AIM/NOPB?
The LM431AIM/NOPB supports a maximum output (cathode) current of 100mA (0.1A). This makes it adequate for driving small loads directly or serving as a reference in feedback loops where the actual load current is handled by a pass transistor or other power device.
