Introducing the ZR431LC02 - Precision Voltage Reference from Diodes Incorporated

The ZR431LC02 is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator offering excellent temperature stability and output current handling capability up to 100mA. This high-performance component from Diodes Incorporated is designed to maintain precise voltage regulation, making it an ideal choice for a wide array of applications, including power supplies, battery chargers, and voltage monitoring systems.

With its adjustable output voltage that can be set to any value between V_ref (approximately 2.5V) and 36 volts with two external resistors, the ZR431LC02 provides unparalleled flexibility. The device features a low output noise which is critical for sensitive electronics, and its low dynamic output impedance ensures stable reverse current operation.

The ZR431LC02 is characterized by its tight output tolerance, with a deviation of only ±0.5% at 25°C and ±2.5% over the full temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This precision is maintained over the entire operating current range, from 1mA to 100mA, which allows for consistent performance regardless of the load conditions.

Engineered for ease of use, this voltage reference can be incorporated into a variety of circuit designs. It is available in a small outline transistor (SOT-23) package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. The device's robust design ensures protection against overcurrent conditions, contributing to the longevity of the product and the reliability of the end application.

Key features of the ZR431LC02 include:

• Adjustable output voltage from V_ref to 36V
• Low temperature coefficient and excellent thermal stability
• Output current capability from 1mA to 100mA
• Tight voltage tolerance
