Product details
Overview
LMC7211BIM5X from Texas Instruments is a micropower CMOS comparator in SOT-23-5 package, featuring rail-to-rail input voltage range (beyond V− and V+), push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4.45V/≤0.55V at 5V with 5mA load, and 420ns propagation delay (tPLH) at 5V/100mV overdrive. It operates from 2.7V to 15V supply and draws only 7μA typical supply current - ideal for battery-powered sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMC7211BIM5X datasheet, LMC7211BIM5X pinout, LMC7211BIM5X application, or LMC7211BIM5X equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-pin SOT-23 footprint, 5mV/15mV offset voltage grades (B-grade = 15mV max), rail-to-rail input beyond supply rails, push-pull output eliminating external pull-up, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7V for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems.
Technical Context
The LMC7211BIM5X implements a CMOS input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current (0.04pA typical) and rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 0.3V beyond both supply rails. Its push-pull output stage delivers symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability without external components, supporting direct logic interfacing and LED drive.
It is characterized across three supply voltages (2.7V, 5V, 15V) with specified AC performance including 420ns tPLH and 450ns tPHL at 5V, and DC parameters such as 15mV max input offset voltage (B-grade), 82dB PSRR at 15V, and 75–82dB CMRR depending on supply. Thermal resistance is 203°C/W in SOT-23-5 package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 15V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0V), dual-alkaline (3.0V), and industrial 12V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (B-grade) | 15mV max - enables accurate threshold detection in low-voltage sensor monitoring (e.g., battery voltage supervision). |
| Supply Current | 7μA typical at 5V - extends battery life in always-on portable devices like PDAs and PCMCIA cards. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH) | 420ns at 5V, 100mV overdrive - sufficient for medium-speed window comparators and zero-crossing detection. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− −0.3V to V+ +0.3V - allows direct sensing of signals at supply rails (e.g., VCC monitoring, current-sense resistor drop). |
| Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors, reduces BOM count, and enables driving multiple CMOS inputs directly. |
| Package | SOT-23-5 (DBV) - 3.05mm × 3.00mm × 1.43mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCBs in mobile and wearable electronics. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 3.05mm × 3.00mm × 1.43mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu/Sn lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Output | CMOS-compatible push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥5mA at 5V - drives logic gates or LEDs directly. |
| 2 (−IN) | Inverting Input | High-impedance CMOS node (0.04pA bias) - accepts signals from high-Z sensors or voltage dividers without loading. |
| 3 (V−) | Negative Supply / Ground | Reference return for single-supply operation; supports true ground-referenced inputs even with rail-to-rail common-mode range. |
| 4 (+IN) | Non-inverting Input | Matches Pin 2 impedance and offset behavior - enables differential or single-ended configurations with matched accuracy. |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.7–15V; powers internal circuitry and defines output swing - no separate logic supply required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input beyond supplies | Accepts inputs 0.3V below V− and 0.3V above V+, enabling direct VCC monitoring and current-sense amplifier replacement. |
| Push-pull output | Eliminates external pull-up resistors, reduces board area, and ensures fast rise/fall times (15ns each) into 50pF loads. |
| 7μA supply current | Enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors and maintains low self-heating in thermally sensitive designs. |
| 5mV/15mV offset grades | B-grade (LMC7211BIM5X) offers 15mV max offset - balances cost and precision for non-critical threshold detection. |
| SOT-23-5 footprint | 3.05mm × 3.00mm area saves >60% board space vs. SOIC-8 - critical for PCMCIA Type III cards and ultra-thin notebooks. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Supervision | Optical Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC7211AIM5X/NOPB | A-grade with 5mV max offset voltage vs. B-grade's 15mV; otherwise identical specs, pinout, and package. | Better accuracy for precision thresholding (e.g., battery protection ICs); higher cost and tighter test screening. | Select LMC7211AIM5X/NOPB when <5mV offset is required; LMC7211BIM5X suffices for general-purpose detection where cost matters. |
| LMC7221BIM5X/NOPB | Same SOT-23-5 package and B-grade offset, but open-drain output instead of push-pull. | Required for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 5V comparator driving 3.3V logic) or wired-OR bus configurations. | Choose LMC7221BIM5X/NOPB only if open-drain functionality is needed; LMC7211BIM5X simplifies design when push-pull suffices. |
Compared with LMC7211AIM5X/NOPB, the LMC7211BIM5X trades 10mV higher offset for lower unit cost and broader tolerance in non-critical detection. Against LMC7221BIM5X/NOPB, it provides faster, simpler logic interfacing without external pull-ups but lacks voltage-level translation capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMC7211BIM5X?
The LMC7211BIM5X has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ – V−) of 16V. Continuous operation is specified from 2.7V to 15V per the Electrical Characteristics tables. Exceeding 16V risks permanent damage to the device, and operation above 15V voids guaranteed performance per datasheet specifications.
Does the LMC7211BIM5X support single-supply operation with inputs at ground potential?
Yes, the LMC7211BIM5X supports true single-supply operation with inputs down to V− −0.3V. When V− is grounded, the input common-mode range extends to −0.3V, enabling reliable zero-crossing detection and ground-referenced signal comparison without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the part marking code for the LMC7211BIM5X on the SOT-23-5 package?
The LMC7211BIM5X is marked "C00B" on the top surface of the SOT-23-5 package. This marking is consistent across all active variants of the B-grade SOT-23-5 version, including LMC7211BIM5X/NOPB and LMC7211BIM5X/NOPB.A.
How does the LMC7211BIM5X differ from the LMC7221BIM5X/NOPB?
The LMC7211BIM5X features a push-pull output, while the LMC7221BIM5X/NOPB uses an open-drain output. Both share identical SOT-23-5 packaging, B-grade 15mV offset, and rail-to-rail input. The push-pull output of LMC7211BIM5X eliminates external pull-up resistors and enables faster logic interfacing, whereas LMC7221BIM5X/NOPB supports mixed-voltage signaling and wired-OR configurations.
Is the LMC7211BIM5X RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, the LMC7211BIM5X/NOPB variant is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu/Sn lead finish. Its moisture sensitivity level (MSL) is Level-1 at 260°C peak reflow, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to assembly - confirmed in TI's official Packaging Information Addendum.
