General Description
The APL431L is a 3-terminal low voltage adjustable precision reference with specified thermal stability over applicable commercial temperature ranges. Output voltage may be set to any value between Vref (1. 24 V) and 20 V with two external resistors (see Figure 2). When used with an photocoupler, the APL431L is an ideal voltage reference in isolated feedback circuits for 3V to 12V switching-mode power supplies. This device has a typical output impedance of 0.1Ω. Active output circuitry provides a very sharp turn-on characteristic,making the APL431L excellent replacements for zener diodes in many applications, including on-board regulation and adjustable power supplies.
