8.2.1.2.3 Output Voltage and Logic Input Level

For the TLV431 to properly be used as a comparator, the logic output must be readable by the receiving logic device. This is accomplished by knowing the input high and low level threshold voltage levels, typically denoted by VIH and VIL.

As seen in Figure 8-3, TLV431's output low level voltage in open-loop/comparator mode is approximately 1V, which is sufficient for some 3.3V supplied logic. However, this does not work for 2.5V or 1.8V supplied logic. To accommodate this a resistive divider can be tied to the output to attenuate the output voltage to a voltage legible to the receiving low voltage logic device.

TLV431's output high voltage is approximately Vsup due to TLV431 being open-collector. If Vsup is much higher than the receiving logic's maximum input voltage tolerance, the output must be attenuated to accommodate the outgoing logic's reliability.

When using a resistive divider on the output, be sure to make the sum of the resistive divider (R1 and R2 in Figure 8-2) is much greater than Rsup to not interfere with TLV431's ability to pull close to Vsup when turning off.
