Introducing the AP431AWLA from Diodes Incorporated

The AP431AWLA is a high-performance adjustable precision shunt regulator designed by Diodes Incorporated, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality semiconductor products. This component is tailored to meet the requirements of voltage regulation and system reference design in a wide array of electronic applications.

Featuring a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator with a guaranteed thermal stability over the entire temperature range of operation, the AP431AWLA provides excellent reliability and consistency in its performance. The output voltage can be set to any value between Vref (approximately 2.5 volts) and 36 volts with two external resistors. This flexibility makes the AP431AWLA an ideal choice for power supplies and other circuits requiring a precise voltage reference.

The AP431AWLA comes in a small outline transistor (SOT-23) package, which is highly favored for space-constrained applications. Its compact footprint allows for efficient use of PCB real estate, contributing to the miniaturization of electronic systems. Despite its small size, it delivers a robust set of features:

• Low dynamic output impedance, which ensures stable load regulation.
• High accuracy with a typical output voltage tolerance of ±0.5%.
• Wide operating current range from 1 mA to 100 mA, making it versatile for a variety of designs.
• Fast turn-on response, which is critical for applications where quick power-up sequences are required.

With its sink current capability, the AP431AWLA is also an excellent choice for battery-powered devices, where power efficiency is a critical concern. The low minimum operating current contributes to the extended battery life of portable applications.

Diodes Incorporated ensures that the AP431AWLA meets the stringent quality and performance standards expected by the industry. Whether used in power supply circuits, battery chargers, or precision voltage references, the AP431AWLA stands out as a reliable and versatile component that engineers can trust for their most demanding applications.
