8.2.2.2 Total Accuracy

When programming the output above unity gain (VKA=VREF), TL1431 is susceptible to other errors that may effect the overall accuracy beyond VREF. These errors include:

  • R1 and R2 accuracies
  • VI(dev) – Change in reference voltage over temperature
  • ΔVREF / ΔVKA – Change in reference voltage to the change in cathode voltage
  • |zKA| – Dynamic impedance, causing a change in cathode voltage with cathode current

Worst case cathode voltage can be determined taking all of the variables in to account.
