Adjustable shunt reference — ±1% tolerance in a TO-92-3
It provides a precision 1.24 V minimum output with ±1% tolerance, adjustable up to 6 V via an external resistor divider. The 15 mA output current and 80 µA cathode current suit it for feedback loops in power supplies, battery chargers, and general-purpose voltage monitoring where a low-cost, accurate reference is needed.
The TLV431ACLPRE3 is listed as obsolete. For new designs, consider the active TLV431 series variants in SOT-23 or SOT-89 packages.
Key ratings for BOM fit
The ±1% tolerance is the headline spec for precision feedback — it sets the output voltage accuracy without external trimming. The 15 mA output current defines the maximum load the shunt can sink while maintaining regulation; derate for temperature rise in the TO-92-3 package.
