SLVUDI8 September 2025 TLA431
The schematic shown in Figure 3-1 is representative of the TLA431EVM.
The TLA431EVM is designed to allow users to evaluate the configuration shown in Figure 3-1. Multiple test points and jumpers are provided to quickly setup and evaluate common configurations while components labeled with the suffix user are empty footprints intended to allow users to implement custom setups. Although the TLA431 is all-capacitor stable, capacitor footprint C_user allows users to evaluate this specification. The label above each jumper option set by J1 is the intended cathode voltage set when also connecting pins 1 and 2 of jumper J2. Populate only one shunt voltage reference device at a time.
Resistor R6 is rated for 0.5W power rating. If the test configuration cathode current exceeds 50mA, then replace this resistor with one that has a higher power rating.
