Product details

Output current and cathode current — sizing the bias resistor

The device sinks up to 100 mA of output current, with a minimum cathode current of 1 mA required to maintain regulation.

Active lifecycle — no LTB risk

The RoHS compliance status is listed as non-compliant, so verify your assembly house's exemption policy if your BOM requires full RoHS conformance.

Frequently asked questions

Is LM431AIM equivalent to TL431?

The LM431AIM is functionally equivalent to the industry-standard TL431 — both are three-terminal adjustable shunt references with the same 2.495V reference and adjustable output up to 36V or 37V. Pin-compatible in the same 8-SOIC footprint. The LM431AIM carries a ±2.2% tolerance; TL431 variants typically offer 1% or 2% grades. Check the specific tolerance your design requires before substituting.

What is LM431AIM's listed tolerance?

The LM431AIM is specified with a ±2.2% tolerance on the reference voltage. This is a general-purpose grade; for tighter regulation, a series reference like the LM4132AMF-4.1/NOPB (±0.05%) would be a closer fit.
