The TL1431-EP device is a precision-programmable reference with specified thermal
stability over the military temperature range. The output voltage can be set to any value from
VI(ref) (approximately 2.5 V) to 36 V with two external
resistors (see ). This device has a typical output impedance of 0.2 Ω.
Active output
circuitry provides a very sharp turnon characteristic, making the
device an excellent replacement
for Zener diodes and other types of references in applications such as
onboard regulation,
adjustable power supplies, and switching power supplies.
