To implement the circuit shown in Figure 3-2, a voltage reference must first be selected. The TLV431 is selected due to the low reference voltage of 1.24 V. For higher load voltage designs is it acceptable to use the TL431, with a reference voltage of 2.5 V. The load voltage of this designs is 5 V, selecting a reference voltage of 1.24 V allows for more headroom to ensure the voltage reference is properly biased. The top feedback resistor, RFBT, is selected to be 30 kΩ in this design. Equation 26 is used to calculate the lower feedback resistor, RFBB.
RFBB is selected to be the standard value of 9.78kΩ.
