Feature Description

TL43xLI-Q1 consists of an internal reference and amplifier that outputs a sink current based on the difference between the reference pin and the virtual internal pin. The sink current is produced by the internal Darlington pair, shown in Figure 19. A Darlington pair is used for this device to be able to sink a maximum current of 15 mA.

When operated with enough voltage headroom (≥ 2.495 V) and cathode current (IKA), TL43xLI-Q1 forces the reference pin to 2.495 V. However, the reference pin can not be left floating, as it needs IREF ≥ 0.4 µA (see the Specifications). This is because the reference pin is driven into an npn, which needs base current in order operate properly.

When feedback is applied from the Cathode and Reference pins, TL43xLI-Q1 behaves as a Zener diode (refer to Figure 23 for a circuit example), regulating to a constant voltage dependent on current being supplied into the cathode. This is due to the internal amplifier and reference entering the proper operating regions. The same amount of current needed in the above feedback situation must be applied to this device in open loop, servo, or error amplifying implementations for it to be in the proper linear region giving TL43xLI-Q1 enough gain.

Unlike many linear regulators, TL43xLI-Q1 is internally compensated to be stable without an output capacitor between the cathode and anode. However, if it is desired to use an output capacitor, Figure 12 can be used as a guide to assist in choosing the correct capacitor to maintain stability.
