LMV431AIMFX

Texas Instruments · Voltage Reference · SOT-23

LMV431AIMFX from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 REF input Reference (adjust) input; a two-resistor divider from the cathode to this pin sets the cathode voltage around the internal 1.24-V band-gap reference (shorting cathode to REF gives VREF = 1.24 V); reference input current is typically 0.15 µA (max 0.5 µA) and this pin is rated for a continuous input current of -0.05 mA to 3 mA (Absolute Maximum Ratings).
2 CATHODE passive Cathode terminal of the shunt regulator, adjustable from 1.24 V up to 30 V (Recommended Operating Conditions); absolute maximum cathode voltage is 35 V, continuous cathode current is rated -30 mA to 30 mA, dynamic output impedance is 0.25 Ω typ, and minimum cathode current for regulation is 55 µA typ (80 µA max).
3 ANODE passive Anode (return) terminal of the shunt regulator, typically tied to circuit ground/common in shunt-regulator applications.
