0V logic level circuits, these devices provide circuit designers the flexibility to configure as Series or Shunt regulators capable of sourcing or sinking up to 100mA of load current with exceptionally precise voltage regulation as compared to the discrete multi-package circuits commonly used.
The ISL6561 has a built-in shunt regulator to allow 12-V-only bias using a small external limiting resistor.
The ZXCT1008 and ZXCT1080 current and voltage output current monitors, the ZTL431 and TLV431 shunt regulators, and the LM4040 precision micropower voltage reference devices support measurement and protection duties in a wide range of reliability-critical subsystems, including window motor control, air conditioning and courtesy lighting.
