TL431CLP datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL431CLP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for TL431CLP?
  The recommended operating temperature range for TL431CLP is -40°C to 125°C.
• Can I use TL431CLP as a voltage regulator?
  Yes, TL431CLP can be used as a voltage regulator, but it's primarily designed as a programmable shunt regulator. It's not suitable for high-current applications.
• How do I choose the correct resistor values for the TL431CLP?
  Choose R1 and R2 values based on the desired output voltage and the reference voltage (2.5V). A good starting point is R1 = 1kΩ and R2 = 2.5kΩ. Adjust these values to achieve the desired output voltage.
• What is the maximum current that TL431CLP can handle?
  The maximum current that TL431CLP can handle is 100mA. Exceeding this current may cause the device to overheat or malfunction.
• Can I use TL431CLP in a high-frequency application?
  TL431CLP is not suitable for high-frequency applications (>100kHz) due to its limited bandwidth. It's primarily designed for low-frequency, low-power applications.
