AP432/AP432A
ADJUSTABLE PRECISION SHUNT REGULATOR
Description
The AP432 and AP432A are 3-terminal adjustable precision shunt
regulators with guaranteed stable temperature over the applicable
extended commercial temperature range. The output voltage may be
set at any level greater than 1.24V (V
REF
) up to 20V merely by
selecting two external resistors that act as a voltage divider network.
These devices have a typical output impedance of 0.2Ω. Active output
circuitry provides very sharp turn-on characteristics, making these
devices excellent improved replacements for Zener diodes in many
applications.
The precise +/- 1% reference voltage tolerance of the
AP432/AP432A make it possible in many applications to avoid the
use of a variable resistor, consequently saving cost and eliminating
drift and reliability problems associated with it.
