LM431BIM3X/NOPB Shunt Voltage Reference IC Adjustable 2.495V 37 VV ±1% 100 mA
The LM431BIM3X/NOPB is a 2.5V adjustable precision shunt voltage reference from Texas Instruments, supplied in small SOT-23 surface mount tape-and-reel packaging. This widely used programmable reference features a tight initial tolerance and low temperature drift, acting like a zener diode with adjustable output voltage from 2.5V up to 36V by configuring external resistor dividers. It supports stable operation over a broad current range, making it ideal for closed-loop feedback circuits in power supplies and analog measurement systems, delivering consistent reference voltage for voltage regulation and error amplification tasks.
Key features
● Fixed 2.5V internal bandgap reference
● Adjustable output voltage ranging from 2.5V to 36V
● ±0.5% initial voltage accuracy; low temperature coefficient

● Low dynamic output impedance; simple two-resistor setup for voltage scaling
● Stable performance with minimal external compensation components
FAQ
Q: What is the minimum cathode current for normal operation?
A: At least 100µA cathode current is required to maintain regulation.
Q: Can LM431BIM3X/NOPB output voltage exceed 36V?
A: No, the maximum rated output voltage is limited to 36V.
Q: Does the device need compensation capacitor?
A: A small capacitor may be added to prevent oscillation in high-gain feedback loops.
