Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMV431, TLV431, TLVH431B, TLVH431
Hi sir:
I can’t find minimum working cathode voltage when ref>1.5v in datasheet;
can someone help me? i want to use it as a comparator ;

Hi Marcoo:
it's LMV431AIMFX/NOPB under test;
test circuit like below; Ika and Iref are calculated by Ika= (V1-VKA)/R3, Iref=(V1-VREF)/R1-VREF/R2;
V1(V) | VKA(V) | VREF(V) | IKA(mA) | IREF(uA) |
1 | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 |
2 | 1.977 | 1 | 0.023 | 0 |
2.5 | 1.153 | 1.2486 | 1.347 | 0.28 |
3 | 1.215 | 1.496 | 1.785 | 0.8 |
4 | 1.448 | 1.966 | 2.552 | 6.8 |
5 | 1.508 | 2.133 | 3.492 | 73.4 |
so does LMV431AIMFX/NOPB support open loop mode comparator?
TLVH431B is as good as datasheet like below
V1(V) | VKA(V) | VREF(V) | IKA(mA) | IREF(uA) |
1 | 0.94547 | 0.5 | 0.05453 | 0 |
2 | 1.9328 | 0.99984 | 0.0672 | 0.032 |
2.5 | 0.909 | 1.25 | 1.591 | 0 |
3 | 0.8726 | 1.463 | 2.1274 | 7.4 |
4 | 0.87763 | 1.5473 | 3.12237 | 90.54 |
5 | 0.879 | 1.5768 | 4.121 | 184.64 |
Hi Sean,
I tested the LMV431, TLV431, TLVH431 on the bench and followed the comparator blog.
My results matched your results. the TLV431 and TLVH431 do work in open loop but the LMV431 does not. So I would recommend the TLV431 and TLVH431 as comparators but not the LMV431.
