Precision shunt reference in a SOT-89-3
The Texas Instruments TL431BQPKG3 is an adjustable shunt voltage reference with a ±0.5% tolerance — the tightest bin in the TL431 family, suited for precision regulated supplies, comparator thresholds, and isolated feedback loops where the generic ±1% or ±2% parts leave too little margin. It delivers up to 100 mA cathode current with a minimum operating current of 700 µA, so the bias resistor can be sized for a wide range of load and line conditions without dropping out of regulation.
