Start-up Time

As shown in Figure 8-2, TL1431 has a fast response up to approximately 2V and then slowly charges to its programmed value. This is due to the compensation capacitance the TL1431 has to meet its stability criteria. Despite the secondary delay, TL1431 still has a fast response suitable for many clamp applications.
