Product details
Overview
AP331AWRG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single high-precision differential voltage comparator in SOT25R package, operating from 2.0V to 36V single supply (±1.0V to ±18V dual), with ±4mV input offset voltage, 150nA input bias current, and 250mV output saturation voltage at 4mA - used in limit detection, analog-to-digital conversion, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the AP331AWRG-7 datasheet, AP331AWRG-7 pinout, AP331AWRG-7 application, or AP331AWRG-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT25R terminal mapping, real-world timing and interface behavior, and confirmed drop-in alternatives for industrial sensing, power monitoring, and mixed-signal timing circuits.
Technical Context
The AP331AWRG-7 implements a PNP-input stage enabling input common-mode voltage range down to ground on single supply, with differential input voltage tolerance up to ±36V. Its uncommitted NPN open-collector output supports wired-OR configurations and pull-up to any compatible rail within the device's supply range.
Supply current remains stable at 0.4mA across 2.0–36V operation, independent of VCC; input offset drift is minimized via precision trimming, and large-signal response time is 300ns (100mV step, 5mV overdrive) - optimized for fast threshold detection without external hysteresis in pulse applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 36V single supply; ±1.0V to ±18V dual - enables direct battery or industrial rail interfacing without level-shifting |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±4mV max at 25°C - ensures accurate threshold detection below 5mV error in precision limit comparators |
| Input Bias Current | 150nA typical - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor sources like thermistors or photodiodes |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 250mV at 4mA sink - guarantees reliable low-state logic recognition with TTL/CMOS inputs |
| Response Time | 300ns for 100mV step - supports >3MHz pulse discrimination in timing and waveform generation |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Includes ground on single supply - allows direct sensing of 0V-referenced signals without negative rail |
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - permits wired-OR logic, flexible pull-up voltage selection, and SPST switching to ground |
Pinout & Package
SOT25R is a 5-pin, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant plastic package with gull-wing leads and "Green" molding compound (no Br/Sb). Pin spacing is 0.95mm, body dimensions are 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SOT25R) | IN+ | Non-inverting input - accepts reference or signal source; common-mode range includes ground |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - serves as return path for supply and input bias currents |
| 3 (SOT25R) | IN− | Inverting input - used for feedback or threshold comparison; differential voltage range equals supply rails |
| 4 | Output | Open-collector NPN emitter - sinks current only; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal bias network; supply current independent of voltage magnitude |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply ground-sensing capability | Input common-mode range extends to 0V - eliminates need for dual supplies in 0–5V sensor interfaces |
| Low and supply-independent quiescent current | 0.4mA at 5V and 36V - enables long-life battery operation and thermal stability across wide input rails |
| Logic-family interoperability | Output compatible with TTL, DTL, ECL, MOS, and CMOS - simplifies integration into mixed-technology systems |
| Robust input voltage tolerance | Differential input withstands ±36V - protects against transient overvoltage without external clamping |
| Thermal performance | θJA = 173°C/W (SOT25R) - supports continuous operation up to +70°C ambient without derating at ≤740mW dissipation |
Applications
| Limit Comparator | Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single high-precision comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM311DR | Higher input offset (7mV typ), higher supply current (5.7mA), wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C) | Preferred in extended-temperature industrial environments where precision is secondary to ruggedness | Select LM311DR when operating beyond +70°C or requiring higher output drive (50mA sink) |
| TLV3011DBVR | Lower supply current (17μA), rail-to-rail input, but narrower supply range (1.8V–5.5V) and no ground-sensing on single supply | Optimized for ultra-low-power battery sensors, not suitable for >5.5V or ground-referenced analog inputs | Choose TLV3011DBVR only for sub-5.5V, energy-constrained designs where ground-sensing is unnecessary |
Compared with LM311DR and TLV3011DBVR, the AP331AWRG-7 uniquely balances low offset (±4mV), ground-sensing capability, and wide 2–36V operation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial power monitors and mixed-voltage logic interfaces where precision and supply flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input voltage the AP331AWRG-7 can withstand?
The AP331AWRG-7 supports a differential input voltage of up to ±36V, independent of supply voltage magnitude. This rating is absolute - exceeding it risks permanent damage. Input voltages must remain ≥ −0.3V relative to ground (or negative rail) to avoid forward-biasing internal protection diodes and triggering parasitic latch-up.
Can the AP331AWRG-7 operate with only a 2.0V supply?
Yes - the AP331AWRG-7 is fully specified down to 2.0V single supply, maintaining 0.4mA supply current and functional output saturation. However, output logic compatibility is reduced: TTL recognition requires ≥2.0V pull-up, and CMOS thresholds may require careful resistor selection due to limited VOH swing at low VCC.
Is an external pull-up resistor required on the output?
Yes - the AP331AWRG-7 features an open-collector NPN output that can only sink current. A pull-up resistor is mandatory to establish a defined logic-high state. The resistor value must balance speed (lower R) and power (higher R); typical values range from 1kΩ (for 5V TTL) to 10kΩ (for 3.3V CMOS), with voltage limited to the device's 36V absolute max.
Does the AP331AWRG-7 support dual-supply operation?
Yes - the AP331AWRG-7 operates with split supplies from ±1.0V to ±18V. In dual-supply mode, the input common-mode range extends from −1.5V to V+ − 1.5V, and the output can swing rail-to-rail. Ground remains the reference for GND pin; VCC connects to V+, and the negative rail connects externally - no dedicated VEE pin is provided.
