Adjustable shunt reference – 1.24 V bandgap, 6 V ceiling
It sinks up to 15 mA through the cathode, and the minimum cathode current to keep it regulating is 80 µA.
If your design sees sustained junction temperatures above 85°C – say, under-hood automotive or a hot motor-drive enclosure – you need the TLV431AIDBVR (same part, wider temp grade) or an AEC-Q100 qualified variant.
SOT-23-5 – field-swappable with basic tools
The SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A, SOT-753) is a standard five-lead small-outline transistor package.
