SLVS543S August 2004 – May 2024 TL431 , TL432
PRODUCTION DATA
Though TL43xx is stable with no capacitive load, the device that receives the shunt regulator's output voltage could present a capacitive load that is within the TL43xx region of stability, shown in Figure 6-16 and Figure 6-18. Also, designers may use capacitive loads to improve the transient response or for power supply decoupling. When using additional capacitance between Cathode and Anode, refer to Figure 6-16 and Figure 6-18. Also, application note Understanding Stability Boundary Conditions Charts in TL431, TL432 Data Sheet (SLVA482) will provide a deeper understanding of this devices stability characteristics and aid the user in making the right choices when choosing a load capacitor.
