PRODUCTION DATA
#SLVS5558263 shows the TLVH431, TLVH431A, or TLVH431B used in a 3.3-V isolated flyback supply. Output voltage VO can be as low as reference voltage VREF (1.24 V ± 1%). The output of the regulator, plus the forward voltage drop of the optocoupler LED (1.24 + 1.4 = 2.64 V), determine the minimum voltage that can be regulated in an isolated supply configuration. Regulated voltage as low as 2.7 Vdc is possible in the topology shown in #SLVS5558263.
The TLVH431 family of devices are prevalent in these applications, being designers go to choice for secondary side regulation. Due to this prevalence, this section explains operation and design in both states of TLVH431 that this application will see, open loop (Comparator + VREF) and closed loop (Shunt Regulator).
