9.2.1.2.2 Total Accuracy

When programming the output above unity gain (VKA=VREF), TLA431 is susceptible to other errors that can effect the overall accuracy beyond VREF. These errors include:

  • R1 and R2 accuracies
  • VI(dev) - Change in reference voltage over temperature
  • ΔVREF / ΔVKA - Change in reference voltage to the change in cathode voltage
  • |zKA| - Dynamic impedance, causing a change in cathode voltage with cathode current

Worst case cathode voltage can be determined taking all of the variables in to account. Application note Setting the Shunt Voltage on an Adjustable Shunt Regulator (SLVA445) assists designers in setting the shunt voltage to achieve optimum accuracy for this device.
