Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage range of the TL431BQDCKTE4?
The TL431BQDCKTE4 offers an adjustable output voltage range from 2.495V to 36V, set via external resistors connected to the reference input pin. Its nominal reference voltage is 2.495V with a maximum of 2.507V and minimum of 2.483V over the specified operating conditions.
What package does the TL431BQDCKTE4 come in?
The TL431BQDCKTE4 is available in a 6-pin SOT-23 surface-mount package (JESD-30 R-PDSO-G6), which provides a compact footprint of approximately 2.9mm x 1.6mm, making it suitable for portable electronics, power modules, and high-density PCB layouts.
Is the TL431BQDCKTE4 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the Q in the part number indicates this is an AEC-Q100-qualified automotive-grade device from Texas Instruments, meaning it has passed automotive reliability qualification testing for use in vehicle electronics such as body control modules, infotainment systems, and ADAS power supplies.
What is the maximum output current of the TL431BQDCKTE4?
The TL431BQDCKTE4 supports a maximum cathode output current of 100mA, which is sufficient for use as a shunt regulator or voltage reference in low-power switching supplies, optocoupler feedback circuits, and precision analog signal conditioning circuits.
How is the TL431BQDCKTE4 typically used in a switching power supply?
In a typical isolated flyback power supply, the TL431BQDCKTE4 acts as the error amplifier on the secondary side. It compares the output voltage to its internal 2.495V reference and drives an optocoupler LED proportionally, which adjusts the primary-side PWM controller duty cycle to regulate the output voltage with high precision.
