TLV431Q
Application Notes
In a conventional shunt regulator application (Figure 1), an external series resistor (R3) is connected between the supply voltage, VIN, and the
TLV431Q. The 0.5% and 0.2% tolerance versions allow the creation of a high accuracy adjustable shunt reference.
R3 determines the current that flows through the load (IL) and the TLV431Q (IK). The TLV431Q will adjust how much current it sinks or “shunts”
to maintain a voltage equal to VREF across its feedback pin. Since load current and supply voltage may vary, R3 should be small enough to
supply at least the minimum acceptable IKMIN to the TLV431Q even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load current is at its
maximum value. When the supply voltage is at its maximum and IL is at its minimum, R3 should be large enough so that the current flowing
through the TLV431Q is less than 15mA.
R3 is determined by the supply voltage, (VIN), the load and operating current, (IL and IK), and the TLV431Q’s reverse breakdown voltage, VKA.

and VKA = VOUT
Figure 1. Adjustable low voltage reference
The values of R1 and R2 should be large enough so that the current flowing through them is much smaller than the current through R3 yet not
too large so that the voltage drop across them caused by IREF affects the reference accuracy.
Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations
The TLV431Q in the SOT25 package has the die attached to pin 2, which results in an electrical contact between pin 2 and pin 5. Therefore, pin
2 of the SOT25 package must be left floating or connected to pin 5.

Figure 2. High Current Shunt Regulator
It may at times be required to shunt-regulate more current than the 15mA that the TLV431Q is capable of.
Figure 2 shows how this can be done using transistor Q1 to amplify the TLV431Q’s current. Care needs to be taken that the power dissipation
and/or SOA requirements of the transistor is not exceeded.

Figure 3. Basic Series Regulator
A very effective and simple series regulator can be implemented as shown in Figure 3 above. This may be preferable if the load requires more
current than can be provided by the TLV431Q alone and there is a need to conserve power when the load is not being powered. This circuit also
uses one component less than the shunt circuit shown in Figure 3 above.

Figure 4. Series Regulator with Current Limit
Figure 4 adds current limit to the series regulator in Figure 3 using a second TLV431Q. For currents below the limit, the circuit works normally
supplying the required load current at the design voltage. However should attempts be made to exceed the design current set by the second
TLV431Q, the device begins to shunt current away from the base of Q1. This begins to reduce the output voltage and thus ensuring that the
output current is clamped at the design value. Subject only to Q1’s ability to withstand the resulting power dissipation, the circuit can withstand
either a brief or indefinite short circuit.

Figure 5. Increasing Output Voltage of a Fixed Linear Regulator
One of the useful applications of the TLV431Q is in using it to improve the accuracy and/or extend the range and flexibility of fixed voltage
regulators. In the circuit in Figure 5 above both the output voltage and its accuracy are entirely determined by the TLV431Q, R1 and R2.
However the rest of the features of the regulator (up to 1A output current, output current limiting and thermal shutdown) are all still available.
