The SPX431A is a three-terminal adjustable shunt voltage regulator providing a highly accurate bandgap reference.

The SPX431A acts as an open-loop error amplifier with a 2.5V temperature compensation reference. The SPX431A has thermal stability, wide operating current of 150mA and broad temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for a variety of applications which require a low-cost, high performance solution. The SPX431A tolerance of 0.5% is proven to be sufficient to overcome all other errors in the system to virtually eliminate the need for trimming in the power supply manufacturer's assembly line and contribute a significant cost savings. The output voltage may be adjusted to any value between VREF and 36 volts with two external resistors.

The SPX431A is available in RoHS compliant, lead free TO-92 and SOT-89 packages.

Distribution Date Description File
07/17/2023 In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023.
