LM431BIM3X

Texas Instruments · Voltage Reference · SOT-23

LM431BIM3X 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 CATHODE passive Shunt current/output voltage terminal. Sinks cathode current (1 mA to 100 mA recommended, 150 mA absolute max) to regulate the cathode-anode voltage to the value programmed on the Reference pin. Absolute max cathode voltage 37 V.
2 REFERENCE input Reference (feedback) pin for programming the adjustable output voltage. Internal comparator drives the cathode to hold this pin at VREF = 2.495 V (typ) relative to Anode. Reference input current is 2 uA typ (4 uA max); max input voltage 10 mA / -0.5 V min.
3 ANODE power_in Anode pin, normally grounded (common reference for VREF and cathode-anode voltage). Return path for cathode shunt current.
