# TLV431BCDBZT

**Texas Instruments** · Voltage Reference · SOT-23-3

TLV431BCDBZT from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-23-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | REF | input | Reference voltage input pin for feedback divider network that sets the regulated output voltage between 1.24V and 6V. |
| 2 | CATHODE | bidirectional | Shunt regulator output cathode terminal that operates between 1.24V and 6V with continuous cathode current of 0.1mA to 15mA. |
| 3 | ANODE | power_in | Ground/common reference return pin, typically connected to circuit ground. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `TLV431BCDBZT`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23-3`
- 3D model: SOT-23-3 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `tlv431bcdbzt-etched.step` / `tlv431bcdbzt-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `tlv431bcdbzt.step` / `tlv431bcdbzt.glb` are the bare package body.
