9 Detailed Description

9.1 Overview

The TL1431-EP is a precision-programmable reference with specified thermal stability over the military

temperature range. The device can be used in a very wide array of applications, and can enter operational mode

with as little as two external resistors.

9.3 Feature Description

turnon characteristic, making the device an excellent replacement for Zener diodes and other types of references

in applications such as onboard regulation, adjustable power supplies, and switching power supplies.

TI's EP line is certified to the Aerospace Qualified Electronic Component (AQEC) Standard (ANSI/GEIA STD-

0002-1). The AQEC Standard was jointly developed by the aerospace and semiconductor industries to define the

minimum requirements for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components used in military, avionic, aerospace,

medical and other rugged operating environments where high-reliability and long service life are required.

9.4 Device Functional Modes

The device only has one functional mode, which is enabled at power up. Operation of the device is determined

by external parameters described Application and Implementation.
