2.495 V shunt reference with ±0.5% tolerance
The TL432BQDBVT is a three-terminal adjustable shunt voltage reference from Texas Instruments, offering a minimum output voltage of 2.495 V with a ±0.5% tolerance. It operates as a shunt regulator, sinking current through the cathode to maintain the reference voltage across the output and anode terminals. The ±0.5% tolerance suits precision voltage regulation in feedback loops.
Industrial temperature grade and 100 mA drive
The shunt can sink up to 100 mA continuous cathode current, enough to drive an optocoupler LED in a feedback loop or bias a small load. Minimum cathode current is 700 µA, so the part stays in regulation even at light load.
SOT-23-5 package — footprint and fit
Sourcing is limited to surplus inventory and broker channels. For new designs, consider the TL431 family in SOT-23-5 as a functional alternative — note the pinout differs, so a PCB respin may be required.
