Product Overview

The TL431IPK is a Texas Instruments precision programmable shunt reference classified under Power_Management. It functions as a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator, with its output voltage set by two external resistors across a range from Vref to 36 V. The nominal reference voltage is approximately 2.5 V, and the TL431I standard grade has a 2% initial reference voltage tolerance.

For the PK SOT-89 package, the device pinout places the reference terminal on pin 1, the anode on pin 2, and the cathode on pin 3. The excerpt identifies the package as PK SOT-89, but does not provide package body dimensions.

Recommended operation covers cathode voltage from Vref to 36 V, continuous cathode current from 1 mA to 100 mA, and -40°C to 85°C free-air temperature for TL43xxI devices. Electrical data includes 2440 mV minimum, 2495 mV typical, and 2550 mV maximum reference voltage at VKA=Vref, IKA=10 mA, and TA=25°C.
