Product details
Overview
ISL55141IRZ from Intersil is a single-channel, high-speed 18V CMOS window comparator with dual independent thresholds (CVA0/CVB0), three-state digital output (QA0/QB0), 9.5ns typical propagation delay, and ±50mV input overdrive capability - deployed in burn-in ATE systems for Flash device voltage qualification.
For engineers reviewing the ISL55141IRZ datasheet, ISL55141IRZ pinout, ISL55141IRZ application, or ISL55141IRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (16-lead 4×4 QFN), confirmed threshold programmability, user-defined VOH/VOL rail compatibility, power-down functionality, and real-world timing behavior at 65MHz operation.
Technical Context
The ISL55141IRZ implements a dual-reference window comparator architecture where VINP0 is compared simultaneously against CVA0 (high threshold) and CVB0 (low threshold), generating two binary outputs (QA0, QB0) that encode input state as Valid Low, Invalid (no-man's-land), or Valid High. Its high-voltage CMOS process supports rail-to-rail common-mode input range from VEE to VCC–5V.
Output logic levels are set externally via unbuffered analog supplies VOH and VOL, enabling direct interface with TTL, LVCMOS, ECL, and CML logic families. The PD pin enables <10µA power-down mode with 10µs entry and 15µs wake-up latency, while thermal pad (VEE-connected) provides low-θJC = 3°C/W heat dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation delay | 9.5ns typical at ±50mV overdrive - enables synchronization with 65MHz digital test clocks |
| Supply voltage range | 10V to 18V (VCC–VEE) - supports wide-swing test voltages up to ±9V referenced to VEE |
| Input common-mode range | VEE to VCC–5V - accepts inputs down to negative rail, critical for power supervision of split-rail systems |
| Power-down current | <10µA - reduces standby power in multi-comparator ATE racks during idle cycles |
| Operating frequency | 65MHz maximum - qualifies high-speed signal edges in Flash memory burn-in testing |
| Output drive capability | 18Ω to 37Ω typical output resistance - drives 15pF loads with sub-2ns rise/fall times |
| Input offset voltage | ±50mV max - ensures accurate 1-VIH/0-VIL logic level detection across temperature |
Pinout & Package
ISL55141IRZ is housed in a 16-lead 4×4 mm QFN package (PKG DWG L16.4X4A) with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to VEE. Pin 1 is located in top-left corner adjacent to index area; pin numbering proceeds counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CVB0 | Low-threshold reference input for channel 0 - sets 0-VIL boundary in window comparison |
| 2 | VINP0 | Common input node for both comparators - accepts test signal under evaluation |
| 3 | CVA0 | High-threshold reference input for channel 0 - sets 1-VIH boundary in window comparison |
| 4 | PD | Active-low power-down control - tie to VEE for normal operation; connect to VCC to enter <10µA sleep |
| 5 | VEE | Negative supply rail - also connects to thermal pad for heat sinking and defines logic low reference |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply rail - powers internal circuitry and establishes upper voltage limit for analog core |
| 7 | VOL | User-defined logic low rail - sets QA0/QB0 "0" output voltage; must be ≥VEE+0.5V |
| 8 | VOH | User-defined logic high rail - sets QA0/QB0 "1" output voltage; must be ≤VCC–0.5V |
| 9 | QA0 | Channel A output - driven to VOH when VINP0 > CVA0, else to VOL |
| 10 | QB0 | Channel B output - driven to VOH when VINP0 > CVB0, else to VOL |
| 11–16 | NC | No internal connection - floating pins; no PCB routing required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent thresholds | CVA0 and CVB0 allow precise definition of VIH/VIL windows without external resistive dividers |
| User-configurable output rails | VOH/VOL pins enable direct interfacing with mixed-voltage logic domains (e.g., 5V controller + 3.3V FPGA) |
| Three-state window qualification | QA0/QB0 pair encodes input as Valid Low (0,0), Invalid (0,1), or Valid High (1,1) - eliminates need for external decode logic |
| Power-down mode | Reduces quiescent current from ~8.25mA/comparator to <10µA - essential for thermal management in dense ATE modules |
| Negative rail compatible input | Common-mode range includes VEE - supports testing of negative-biased Flash programming voltages or op-amp output monitoring |
Applications
| Burn-in ATE Testing | Fast Power Supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-threshold comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3601DR | Single-channel, 1.8V–5.5V supply, 1.8ns propagation delay, no user-defined VOH/VOL - fixed CMOS outputs | Limited to low-voltage logic domains; lacks 18V swing and negative rail support | Select when ultra-fast response (<2ns) and low supply voltage are prioritized over wide input range |
| MAX961ESA+ | Single-channel, ±5V supply max, 4.5ns delay, internal references only - no external CVA/CVB pins | Requires external resistor networks to set thresholds; no power-down pin | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-threshold applications where layout space is constrained and 18V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with TLV3601DR and MAX961ESA+, the ISL55141IRZ uniquely combines 18V operation, user-programmable thresholds and output rails, and power-down capability - making it irreplaceable in high-voltage ATE and Flash test systems requiring configurable window detection.

FAQ
What is the function of the PD pin on the ISL55141IRZ?
The PD (Power-Down) pin on the ISL55141IRZ is an active-high logic input that places the device into ultra-low-power mode when driven to VCC, reducing supply current to less than 10µA. When tied to VEE (ground in single-supply configurations), the ISL55141IRZ operates normally. Entry and exit times are 10µs and 15µs respectively, making it suitable for duty-cycled ATE test sequences.
Can the ISL55141IRZ operate with negative supply voltages?
Yes, the ISL55141IRZ supports true dual-supply operation with VEE as low as –9V relative to VCC (i.e., VCC–VEE ≤ 18V). Its input common-mode range extends down to VEE, and the thermal pad is internally connected to VEE - enabling direct monitoring of negative-rail signals in power supervision and Flash programming applications.
How are VOH and VOL used in the ISL55141IRZ?
VOH and VOL are unbuffered analog supply pins that define the logic-high and logic-low output voltage levels for both QA0 and QB0. The ISL55141IRZ outputs switch directly between these rails - not internal VCC/VEE - allowing seamless interface with diverse logic families (TTL, LVCMOS, ECL) without external level shifters. VOH must exceed VOL by ≥1V and remain within VEE+1V to VCC–0.5V.
What does the truth table for QA0 and QB0 indicate in practical use?
The QA0/QB0 truth table encodes VINP0 relative to CVA0 and CVB0 into three distinct states: (0,0) = Valid Low (VINP0 < CVB0), (0,1) = Invalid (CVB0 < VINP0 < CVA0), and (1,1) = Valid High (VINP0 > CVA0). This eliminates post-processing logic in ATE controllers, enabling immediate pass/fail decisions on VIH/VIL compliance during Flash device characterization.
Is the ISL55141IRZ still in production or supported?
The ISL55141IRZ is marked "No longer available or supported" in the official Intersil (Renesas) ordering information. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers full technical documentation, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle coordination support for existing designs dependent on the ISL55141IRZ in industrial and test equipment applications.
