TL432BCDBZRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL432BCDBZRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating temperature range for the TL432BCDBZRG4?
  The recommended operating temperature range for the TL432BCDBZRG4 is -40°C to 125°C. However, it's essential to note that the device can operate up to 150°C, but with reduced performance and reliability.
• How do I ensure the TL432BCDBZRG4 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the reference input (REF) to a stable voltage source between 2.5V and 36V, and the cathode (K) to a stable voltage source or a resistive divider. Additionally, ensure the anode (A) is connected to a suitable load or voltage source.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the reference input (REF) pin?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the reference input (REF) pin is 36V. Exceeding this voltage can damage the device.
• Can I use the TL432BCDBZRG4 as a voltage regulator?
  While the TL432BCDBZRG4 can be used as a voltage regulator, it's not recommended due to its limited current handling capability (up to 100mA). Instead, consider using a dedicated voltage regulator IC for higher current applications.
• How do I calculate the output voltage of the TL432BCDBZRG4?
  The output voltage (Vout) of the TL432BCDBZRG4 can be calculated using the formula: Vout = Vref * (1 + R1/R2), where Vref is the reference voltage, R1 is the resistance between the anode and the reference input, and R2 is the resistance between the cathode and the reference input.
