TL431CZ

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Reference · TO-92

TL431CZ from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-92. 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) terminal of the shunt regulator diode; cathode-to-anode voltage range is Vref to 36 V with sink current capability of 1 to 100 mA.
2 Anode passive Anode (A) terminal of the shunt regulator diode, normally connected to circuit ground/return.
3 Ref input Reference (control) input to the internal error amplifier; reference input current is typically 1.8 µA (max 4-6.5 µA depending on grade) and reference input voltage is 2.5 V nominal, set externally between 2.5 V and 36 V with two resistors.
