TL431 linear power supply
Kleinstein:
A larger value for R17 is likely a good idea. About half the values of R8 (feedback from the input) could be a good start.
1 µF for C1 would be really slow and only a start. The shown 2.2 nF seem to be in a reasonable range, when looking at simulations from IMO.
One should also keep in mind that the loop gain would change with the feedback divider.

Below the TL431s offerings..
PS: tried with several TL431 models and got similar results as above..
And the library is here, for the latest download go to "Additional links :"

OK, but what really matters is to know which kind of TL431 library you got.
The one I'm using clearly states: Model Type: Transient and AC.
The one you're using might be a coarser model... might it not? :wtf:
(OK... I'm downloading the huge zip and will check that myself later :D )
iMo:
Here with the 2n2 (C4 in my simulation) and R4 from 100-16k.
For 25V/5A pulses and 3V/5A pulses.
For 3V the R4s>=1k in order the simulation works "reasonably fast" (PS:With Behavioral model TL431A it simulates fine from 100ohm up).
With 25V the R4s>400ohm make more ringing.

A good move :-+
Be careful with the installation of the Library.
You have to replace the 2 folders (examples, lib) in:
C:\Users\..user..\Documents\LTspiceXVII\
PS: make backup of your own models/parts.
Do not touch folders in:
C:\Program Files\LTC\LTspiceXVII\
After the start LTspice will reindex the new Library.

I already did that in past, but I prefer to add just the models I need.
BTW I use my own paths and just add them to the search path in LTspice settings.
In any case I see that there are 4 different TL431 models which added to the one I've been using so far are 5.
No wonder the same circuit may produce so different results... ;D
I guess the only way to know which one works better is to build a few different real circuits and compare the results.
