LX6431 / 6431A / 6431B PRECISION PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCES T H E I N F I N I T E P O W E R O F I N N O V A T I O N P D R O D U C T I O N A T A H E E T KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION The LX6431 series precision adjustable three terminal shunt voltage regulators are pin-to-pin compatible with the industry standard TL431, but with significant improvements. The LX6431 design has eliminated regions of instability common to older generation shunt regulator products like the TL431. Designs are made simpler by eliminating the task of insuring capacitive loads, and output voltage and cathode currents don’t combine for unstable operation. The capacitor value is chose simply to give the best load transient response without the possibility of instability. A lower reference input current allows the use of higher value reference divider resistors, reducing the current drain from batteries in portable S equipment as well as reducing the voltage programming errors due to the impedance of the divider network (See product Highlight) In addition, the LX6431B has an improved initial accuracy of 0.4%, and the output voltage is programmable by using two external resistors from 2.5V to 36V. These devices offer low output impedance for improved load regulation. The typical output impedance of these devices is 100mΩ. The reduced reference input bias current and minimum operating currents make these devices suitable for portable and micro power applications.

This helps to design programmable voltage references that can use much higher value programming resistors while maintaining the same accuracy as the other precision parts. Figure 7 below shows a 5V, 1% shunt regulator using the LX6431B and a shunt regulator using the TL1431 (Also available from Linfinity). Figure 8 shows 0.5% shunt regulators. Noteworthy are the values of the reference resistors used in the two circuits. With the LX6431B it is possible to use 25k resistors for setting the output voltage with 1% precision as opposed to 5k programming resistors when the same precision needs to be achieved with a TL1431.

Copyright © 1999 Rev. 1.4a FIGURE 8 — Comparison of reference resistor values between an LX6431B and a TL1431, when used as 0.5%, 5V shunt regulators. The output voltage of the reference can be programmed by using the formula below: R1 VKA ≅ 2.5 ∗ 1 + R2 If more accuracy is required then the effects of the input bias current (IREF) must be taken into account. The formula below accounts for the error this current produces. R1 VKA = 2.5 ∗ 1 + + IREF ∗ R1 R2 Smaller values of programming resistors tend to minimize bias current errors. In this respect the low input current characteristics of the LX6431B helps to reduce the power dissipation on the programming resistors by a factor of five compared to other references like the TL1431 and TL431. The LX6431 series of voltage references have an enhanced circuit design that can tolerate any value of cathode to anode capacitance. 7 PRODUCT DATABOOK 1996/1997 LX6431/LX6431A/LX6431B PRECISION PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCES P R O D U C T I O N D A T A S H E E T PA R A M E T E R M E A S U R E M E N T I N F O R M A T I O N VKA Input VKA Input IK IK R1 IREF R2 VREF VREF FIGURE 10 — TEST CIRCUIT FOR VKA > VREF FIGURE 9 — TEST CIRCUIT FOR VKA = VREF VKA Input IOFF FIGURE 11 — TEST CIRCUIT FOR IOFF 8 Copyright © 1999 Rev. 1.4a PRODUCT DATABOOK 1996/1997 LX6431/LX6431A/LX6431B PRECISION PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCES P D R O D U C T I O N A T A S H E E T TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS 6 f = 0.1 to 10Hz IK = 10mA TA = 25°C (VN) Input Noise Voltage - (µV) 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 2 0 4 6 8 10 (t) Time - (s) FIGURE 12. — EQUIVALENT INPUT NOISE VOLTAGE OVER A 10-SECOND PERIOD 19.1V 1k 500µF VCC 910 2000µF VCC 1µF LX6431 (DUT) TLE2027 AV = 10V/mV 820 TLE2027 16k 16 160k 1µF 0.1µF VEE 2.2µF 16k 33k AV = 2V/V 1M CRO 33k VEE Test Circuit for 0.1Hz to 10Hz Equivalent Input Noise Voltage Copyright © 1999 Rev. 1.a 9 PRODUCT DATABOOK 1996/1997 LX6431/LX6431A/LX6431B PRECISION PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCES P R O D U C T I O N D A T A S H E E T TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS FIGURE 13. — SMALL-SIGNAL VOLTAGE AMPLIFICATION vs. FREQUENCY (AV) Voltage Amplification - (dB) 70 Output IK = 10mA TA = 25°C 60 IK 230 15k 50 9µF 40 30 8.25k 20 10 GND 0 Test Circuit for Voltage Amplification -10 1k 10k 100k 1M 10M (f) Frequency - (Hz) FIGURE 14. — REFERENCE IMPEDANCE vs. FREQUENCY (|zKA|) Reference Impedance - ( ) 100 Output IK = 1mA to 100mA TA = 25°C 1k IK 10 50 1 GND Test Circuit for Reference Impedance 0.1 1k 10k 100k 1M 10M (f) Frequency - (Hz) 10 Copyright © 1999 Rev. 1.4a PRODUCT DATABOOK 1996/1997 LX6431/LX6431A/LX6431B PRECISION PROGRAMMABLE REFERENCES P R O D U C T I O N D A T A S H E E T TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS FIGURE 15. — PULSE RESPONSE 6 Output VIN - (V) 5 220 4 3 Pulse Generator f = 100kHz 2 50 (VKA) Output Voltage - (V) 1 0 3 GND 2 1 Test Circuit for Pulse Response 0 1 0 2 3 4 5 6 (t) Time - (µs) 50 180 Phase Shift GM/20 30 +35V 90 10 0 0 -10 -90 -30 -180 Phase Shift AVD - Differential Voltage Amplification - (dB) FIGURE 16. — DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGE AMPLIFICATION vs. FREQUENCY To Network Analyzer as DUT Input Port with 10X Probe R3 1K C1 R1 100K 10µF R2 100K C2 10µF To Network Analyzer as DUT Output Port R4 2 DUT is bias at 30mA and 5V Test Setup for Measuring AVD vs. Frequency -50 1k 10k 100k 1M Frequency - (Hz) PRODUCTION DATA - Information contained in this document is proprietary to LinFinity, and is current as of publication date.
