DESCRIPTION
The UTC ULVH431B is a low-voltage 3-terminal programmable
shunt regulator with guaranteed thermal stability over full applicable
industrial and commercial temperature ranges.
The output voltage of UTC ULVH431B can be set to any value
between VREF (1.24V) and the corresponding maximum cathode
voltage (18V) with two external resistors. The device operates from
a lower voltage (1.24V) than the widely used TL431 and TL1431
shunt-regulator references.
The UTC ULVH431B is an ideal voltage reference in isolated
feedback circuits for 3-V to 3.3-V switching-mode power supplies
when it is used with an opto-coupler. It has a typical output
impedance of 0.25Ω. Active output circuitry supplies a very sharp
turn-on characteristic, which makes the UTC ULVH431B very good
substitute for low-voltage Zener diode in many applications such as
adjustable power supplies and on-board regulation.


(see Figure 1)
Notes: 1. Full temperature ranges are: -40°C~125°C for ULVH431B.
2. The deviation parameters VREF(dev) and Iref(dev) are defined as the differences between the maximum and
minimum values obtained over the rated temperature range. The average full-range temperature
VREF( dev )
(

VREF (TA = 25°C)
coefficient of the reference input voltage, αVREF, is defined as: αVREF (
)=
∆TA
°C
where ∆TA is the rated operating free-air temperature range of the device.
αVREF can be positive or negative, depending on whether minimum VREF or maximum VREF, respectively,
occurs at the lower temperature.
