For new designs or volume production, an alternative should be qualified.
2.495 V adjustable shunt reference, 100 mA output
The minimum output voltage is 2.495 V, and the maximum is 36 V, set by two external resistors. Output current capability is 100 mA, with a cathode current of 600 µA minimum to maintain regulation. The ±1% tolerance on the reference voltage is adequate for general-purpose power supply feedback and voltage monitoring in commercial-temperature equipment.
SOT-89-3 package — footprint and thermal considerations
The TL432ACPK is supplied in a SOT-89-3 surface-mount package (also designated TO-243AA). This three-lead package has a large collector tab on the back that provides the primary thermal path to the PCB. At 100 mA output, the power dissipation can reach several hundred milliwatts depending on the programmed output voltage.
Commercial temperature grade limits application scope
It is not specified for industrial or automotive temperature ranges.
