LM431AM

HGSEMI · Voltage Reference · SOP-8

LM431AM from HGSEMI, in a SOP-8. 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 CATHODE passive Cathode (K) of the shunt regulator. This is the regulated node; current sinks from CATHODE to ANODE when VREF ≥ 2.5V. Operating range Vref-36V, sink current 0.2-100 mA, dynamic impedance ~0.1-0.5 Ω.
2 ANODE passive Anode (A) of the shunt regulator; return terminal for cathode current. All three ANODE pins (2, 3, 6, 7) are internally connected and should all be tied to the low-side rail for thermal and current handling.
3 ANODE passive Anode (A) of the shunt regulator; internally common with pins 2, 6 and 7. Tie to the same node as the other ANODE pins.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ANODE for board layout convenience.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ANODE for board layout convenience.
6 ANODE passive Anode (A) of the shunt regulator; internally common with pins 2, 3 and 7.
7 ANODE passive Anode (A) of the shunt regulator; internally common with pins 2, 3 and 6.
8 REF input Reference input (R) to the internal error amplifier. Regulation forces this pin to VREF = 2.500 V (typ) versus ANODE. Input bias current IREF ≈ 0.3 µA typ (0.6 µA max); tie directly to CATHODE for a fixed 2.5V shunt, or drive from an external resistor divider to program a higher output voltage up to 36V.
