General Description
The APL1431 is a 3-terminal adjustable voltage reference with specified thermal stability over applicable commercial temperature ranges. Output voltage may be set to any value between VREF(2.5 V) and 20 V with two external resistors (see Figure 2). When used with an photocoupler, the APL1431 is an ideal voltage reference in isolated feedback circuits for 2.5V to 12V switching-mode power supplies. This device has a typical output impedance of 0.1W. Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic, making the APL1431 excellent replacements for zener diodes in manyapplications, including on-board regulation and adjustable power supplies.
