Power Supply Recommendations

When using TLA431 as a Linear Regulator to supply a load, designers typically use a bypass capacitor on the output/cathode pin. The TLA431 is stable with all capacitive loads.

To not exceed the maximum cathode current, be sure that the supply voltage is current limited. Also, be sure to limit the current being driven into the Ref pin, as not to exceed the absolute maximum rating.

For applications shunting high currents, pay attention to the cathode and anode trace lengths, adjusting the width of the traces to have the proper current density.
