Product details
Overview
LMC7225IM5X/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micro-power, rail-to-rail CMOS comparator with open-drain output, designed for ultra-low-power battery-operated systems. It delivers 0.7 μA typical supply current, operates from 2V to 8V, features input common-mode range beyond rails (−0.3 V to 5.3 V at VS = 5 V), and supports level-shifting up to 15 V via external pull-up. It is used in handheld electronics, metering systems, and RC timers where minimal quiescent power and single-supply flexibility are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LMC7225IM5X/NOPB datasheet, LMC7225IM5X/NOPB pinout, LMC7225IM5X/NOPB application, or LMC7225IM5X/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain architecture enabling voltage-level translation, guaranteed operation across −40°C to +85°C, sub-1 μA supply current, rail-to-rail input capability exceeding V+/V−, and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 10,000 pF without delay degradation.
Technical Context
The LMC7225IM5X/NOPB employs a high-gain CMOS input stage (140 dB voltage gain) with input bias current as low as 5 fA, enabling precision sensing in high-impedance circuits. Its input common-mode range extends 0.3 V below V− and 0.3 V above V+ at 5 V supply, allowing direct monitoring of supply rails or current-sense resistors without level-shifting circuitry.
As an open-drain comparator, it requires an external pull-up resistor to define logic-high voltage - supporting level translation to any voltage ≤15 V. Propagation delay is 24 μs (high-to-low) and 29 μs (low-to-high) at 10 mV overdrive and 5 V supply, with rise/fall times dependent on RPULL-UP–CLOAD time constant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 0.7 μA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 8 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, dual-cell alkaline, and wide-input industrial supplies. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −0.3 V to 5.3 V at VS = 5 V - permits direct connection to VCC or ground-referenced sense points. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible logic-level translation and wired-OR bus configurations. |
| Propagation Delay | 24 μs (tPHL) / 29 μs (tPLH) at 10 mV overdrive, 5 V - suitable for low-frequency threshold detection and timing applications. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 6 mV max - ensures reliable switching with ≥10 mV signal margin in basic comparator applications. |
| Output Leakage Current | 0.01 nA typical at VOUT = 15 V - preserves high-impedance pull-up networks and minimizes standby power loss. |
Pinout & Package
LMC7225IM5X/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178, TI drawing DBV), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin (Sn) lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA is 325°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN− | Inverting input | Accepts reference or feedback signal; supports common-mode voltage beyond rails. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signals; must be low-impedance for stable operation. |
| 3 - IN+ | Non-inverting input | Accepts sensed signal; matched input impedance and femtoampere bias enable high-Z sensor interfacing. |
| 4 - V+ | Positive supply | Power rail from 2 V to 8 V; internal regulation not required. |
| 5 - OUT | Open-drain output | Drains current only; requires external pull-up to define logic-high voltage (up to 15 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 0.7 μA typical - reduces battery drain in portable devices by >90% vs. standard comparators. |
| Rail-to-rail input with overvoltage tolerance | CMVR extends 0.3 V beyond V+/V− - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in supply-monitoring circuits. |
| Open-drain output with 15 V level-shift capability | Supports interface to 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V logic domains using a single external resistor - simplifies mixed-voltage system design. |
| High output sink current | 30 mA max sink capability at 5 V - directly drives LEDs, relays, or logic inputs without buffer stages. |
| Latch-up immunity | Withstands 300 mA transient injection - enhances reliability in noisy automotive or industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7011DBVR | Push-pull output, 650 nA IQ, 1.8 V to 6 V supply, 350 ns propagation delay | Not suitable for level-shifting; faster but higher power; no over-rail input | Select TLV7011DBVR when fast response and push-pull drive are needed, and level translation is unnecessary. |
| MAX9015AUT+T | Open-drain, 1.1 μA IQ, 1.8 V to 5.5 V, −0.2 V to VCC+0.2 V input range | Narrower input range limits high-side sensing; higher supply current reduces battery life | Select MAX9015AUT+T only if footprint compatibility with SOT-23-5 is mandatory and 1.1 μA IQ is acceptable. |
Compared with TLV7011DBVR and MAX9015AUT+T, LMC7225IM5X/NOPB uniquely combines sub-1 μA supply current, over-rail input capability, and 15 V level-shifting - making it irreplaceable in ultra-low-power, high-voltage-interface applications where both precision and energy efficiency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMC7225IM5X/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ – V−) for LMC7225IM5X/NOPB is 10 V. Continuous operation is specified from 2 V to 8 V. Exceeding 10 V risks permanent damage, and operation above 8 V is not characterized or guaranteed per the datasheet.
Can LMC7225IM5X/NOPB interface directly with a 12 V logic system?
Yes - LMC7225IM5X/NOPB's open-drain output supports level shifting up to 15 V. When used with a 12 V pull-up resistor, it can drive 12 V logic inputs directly. Ensure the external pull-up resistor limits output current to ≤30 mA and that VOUT does not exceed 15 V to avoid damage.
Does LMC7225IM5X/NOPB require input filtering for noise immunity?
LMC7225IM5X/NOPB has exceptionally high gain (140 dB), so small input noise near zero-crossing may cause output oscillation. External hysteresis - added via positive feedback - is recommended for noisy signals. The datasheet confirms that <1 μV input change drives full rail-to-rail output swing, underscoring sensitivity to interference.
What is the input bias current specification for LMC7225IM5X/NOPB?
The input bias current for LMC7225IM5X/NOPB is 5 fA typical at 25°C. This ultra-low value enables use with megaohm-range sensor elements and high-value RC timing networks without introducing significant error or discharge effects.
Is LMC7225IM5X/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
No - LMC7225IM5X/NOPB is a catalog-grade device rated for −40°C to +85°C. For automotive use, TI offers the LMC7215-Q1 (AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified); the LMC7225 family has no Q1 variant, and LMC7225IM5X/NOPB is not certified for automotive deployment.
