Fast Turn-On Response
The LMV431, LMV431A and LMV431B have

performance at low voltages. Applications include a

in a 3V off-line switching regulator and even as a
voltage detector. These parts are typically stable with

Connection Diagram
*Pin 1 is not internally connected.
*Pin 2 is internally connected to Anode pin. Pin 2 should be either
floating or connected to Anode pin.
