Product details
Overview
LM6511IM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single high-speed voltage comparator with 180 ns response time, operating from +2.7V to +30V supply, featuring open-collector output compatible with +3V CMOS, +5V CMOS, and TTL logic families. It delivers low power consumption (<9.45 mW at 2.7V) and supports digital level shifting in portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM6511IM/NOPB datasheet, LM6511IM/NOPB pinout, LM6511IM/NOPB application, or LM6511IM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage (5 mV max), strobe-controlled output disable, common-mode range (0.5 V to V+ −1.25 V), and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The LM6511IM/NOPB implements a rail-to-rail input stage with internal strobe control enabling output disable via current-driven strobe pin (3–5 mA required). Its open-collector output allows wire-ORing and flexible pull-up configuration across mixed-voltage systems.
Designed for analog-to-digital interface circuits, it operates over −40°C to +85°C with guaranteed performance at 2.7V supply, supporting logic-level translation between 3V and 5V domains without external level-shifting components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Response Time | 180 ns typical for 100 mV input step with 25 mV overdrive - enables fast threshold detection in real-time control loops. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 30V operating range - supports direct integration into 3V, 3.3V, and 5V systems without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV maximum at 25°C - ensures accurate switching near reference voltages in precision sensing applications. |
| Input Bias Current | 130 nA maximum - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sensor sources like photodiodes or thermistors. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 0.4 V maximum at 8 mA sink - maintains low logic-low voltage for reliable interfacing with 3V CMOS inputs. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0.5 V to V+ −1.25 V - accommodates inputs referenced to system ground or mid-supply bias points. |
| Strobe Control Current | 3–5 mA required to disable output - eliminates need for logic-level translators when using microcontroller GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
LM6511IM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Package D), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.75 mm max height, with standard JEDEC MS-012AA outline and RoHS-compliant matte tin (Sn) lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Open-collector output | Sinks current to ground; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and interface voltage domain. |
| 2 (−IN) | Inverting input | Differential input node accepting signals within 0.5 V to V+ −1.25 V; high-impedance (130 nA max bias). |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node with identical common-mode range and bias current as −IN pin. |
| 4 (GND) | Negative supply / reference ground | System ground connection; input common-mode and output saturation referenced to this terminal. |
| 5 (STROBE) | Output enable/disable control | Current-sink input requiring 3–5 mA to disable output; not TTL/CMOS logic-level compatible. |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5V to 30V; powers internal circuitry and defines upper common-mode limit (V+ −1.25 V). |
| 7 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or grounding permitted. |
| 8 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or grounding permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Strobe-controlled output disable | Enables dynamic output gating using microcontroller GPIO without level shifters - reduces BOM count in battery-powered systems. |
| Wide supply range (2.5V–30V) | Eliminates need for dedicated comparator supply rails in multi-voltage systems such as industrial I/O modules. |
| Open-collector output with 8 mA sink capability | Supports direct interfacing to 3V/5V logic families and enables wired-AND bus configurations for fault monitoring. |
| 180 ns propagation delay | Meets timing requirements for high-speed zero-crossing detection in motor control and power supply feedback loops. |
| Input common-mode range extending to V+ −1.25 V | Allows direct sensing of signals near positive rail - critical for high-side current sensing with shunt resistors. |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Universal Logic Level Shifter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3501CDR | Faster 4.5 ns response, rail-to-rail output, but no strobe control and higher quiescent current (5.3 mA). | Better for ultra-high-speed ADC triggering; unsuitable where strobe-gated output or low-power sleep mode is required. | Select TLV3501CDR only when sub-10 ns timing dominates over power and control flexibility. |
| LM393DR | Slower 1.3 µs response, no strobe pin, lower supply range (2V–36V), higher input offset (7 mV max). | Cost-optimized for non-critical timing applications like simple battery indicators or fan control. | Choose LM393DR for cost-sensitive designs where 180 ns speed and strobe functionality are unnecessary. |
Compared with TLV3501CDR and LM393DR, the LM6511IM/NOPB uniquely balances nanosecond-speed response, strobe-enabled output control, and sub-10 mW power at 3V - making it optimal for portable systems requiring both speed and dynamic power management.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of the LM6511IM/NOPB?
The LM6511IM/NOPB has a guaranteed operating supply range of 2.5V to 30V. At 2.7V, it delivers full specified performance including 180 ns response time and 5 mV max input offset voltage. Operation below 2.5V is not characterized and may result in undefined behavior or failure to meet datasheet limits.
Can the LM6511IM/NOPB be used without connecting the STROBE pin?
Yes, the LM6511IM/NOPB functions normally with the STROBE pin left unconnected - the output remains enabled. However, leaving STROBE floating is not recommended; it should be either pulled up via a current-limiting resistor to V+ (to ensure >5 mA sink if needed) or actively driven. Open-circuit STROBE may cause unpredictable output states due to noise coupling.
Does the LM6511IM/NOPB support rail-to-rail input voltage operation?
No. The LM6511IM/NOPB supports a common-mode input range from 0.5 V to V+ −1.25 V. It does not operate with inputs at the negative rail (GND) or within 1.25 V of the positive rail. For true rail-to-rail input capability, consider alternatives like the TLV3501, though those lack the strobe feature of the LM6511IM/NOPB.
What is the purpose of the two NC pins (pins 7 and 8) on the LM6511IM/NOPB SOIC package?
Pins 7 and 8 of the LM6511IM/NOPB are designated No Connect (NC) and are internally unconnected. They must remain electrically floating - neither grounded nor tied to any voltage. Routing traces or applying solder to these pins risks internal shorting or parametric shifts due to parasitic coupling, and violates TI's recommended layout practices per the datasheet.
How does the LM6511IM/NOPB differ from the LM6511IM in terms of RoHS compliance and marking?
The LM6511IM/NOPB is RoHS-compliant with matte tin (Sn) lead finish and carries "LM65 11IM" part marking. In contrast, the obsolete LM6511IM lacks RoHS compliance certification and uses lead-based finish. Both share identical electrical specifications and SOIC-8 packaging, but only LM6511IM/NOPB meets current environmental compliance standards for new designs.
