PRODUCTION DATA
When the cathode or output voltage or current of TL1431 is being fed back to the reference or input pin in any form, this device is operating in closed loop. The majority of applications involving TL1431 use it in this manner to regulate a fixed voltage or current. The feedback enables this device to behave as an error amplifier, computing a portion of the output voltage and adjusting it to maintain the desired regulation. This is done by relating the output voltage back to the reference pin in a manner to make it equal to the internal reference voltage, which can be accomplished through resistive or direct feedback.
