Ⅲ.Working principle of TL431AIDBZ


•The working principle of TL431AIDBZ is based on its internal circuit structure and function implementation. TL431AIDBZ is an adjustable precision shunt voltage regulator. Its core working principle is to stabilize the output voltage through internal comparators and amplifier circuits.

•The internal structure of TL431AIDBZ includes a 2.5V precision reference voltage source, a voltage comparator and an output switch tube. These components work together to stabilize and regulate the output voltage.

•When the voltage between the cathode (CATHODE) and anode (ANODE) of TL431AIDBZ exceeds the 2.5V reference voltage of the reference terminal (REF), the voltage comparator will output a high-level signal, causing the output switch to turn on. At this time, a low-impedance path is formed between the anode and the cathode, and the output voltage decreases until the voltage between the cathode and the anode is equal to 2.5V. In this way, TL431AIDBZ is able to maintain the stability of the output voltage.

•On the contrary, when the voltage between the cathode and the anode is lower than 2.5V, the voltage comparator outputs a low-level signal and the output switch is turned off. At this time, a high-impedance path is formed between the anode and cathode, and the output voltage increases. By adjusting the difference between the input voltage and the reference voltage, the target value of the output voltage can be changed to achieve programmability.

•TL431AIDBZ also has temperature compensation and internal bias circuits to reduce the impact of temperature on the output voltage and improve the stability of the circuit. In addition, its high input impedance and low input current characteristics enable it to provide good performance in circuits.
