The SPX2431 is a 3-terminal adjustable shunt voltage regulator providing a highly accurate

bandgap reference.The SPX2431 acts as an open-loop error amplifier with a 2.5V temperature

compensation reference.The SPX2431’s thermal stability, wide operating current (100mA) and

temperature range (0°C to 105°C) makes it suitable for a variety of applications that require a

low cost, high performance solution. SPX2431A tolerance of 0.5% is proven to be sufficient to

overcome all of the other errors in the system to virtually eliminate the need for trimming in the

power supply manufacturer's assembly line and contribute a significant cost savings.

resistors. In the standard shunt configuration, the combination of a low temperature coefficient,

sharp turn on characteristics, low output impedance, and programmable output voltage makes

this precision reference an excellent error amplifier. The SPX2431 is available in SOT-23-3

package.
