Product details
Overview
LMV331IDBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, low-voltage, open-collector comparator optimized for portable and space-constrained systems. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws only 26μA typical supply current, features rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground, and delivers 150mV typical output saturation voltage - enabling direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V logic in battery-powered vacuum robots and server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMV331IDBVR datasheet, LMV331IDBVR pinout, LMV331IDBVR application, or LMV331IDBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-5 package footprint, 7mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, 600ns propagation delay (high-to-low) at 5V, −40°C to +125°C operating temperature, and compatibility with pull-up voltages up to 5.5V on the open-drain output.
Technical Context
The LMV331IDBVR implements a PNP-input stage enabling input common-mode operation down to ground and up to VCC−0.7V, making it suitable for single-supply sensing across modern low-voltage rails. Its open-drain NPN output stage provides flexible logic-level translation and wired-AND capability without internal pull-up.
It functions strictly as a voltage comparator - not an amplifier - with no internal hysteresis, requiring external feedback if noise immunity is needed. Propagation delay varies with input overdrive (200–600ns at 5V), and output sink current is rated up to 10mA at 5V with VOL scaling linearly per load current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct operation from Li-ion, USB, and 3.3V/5V system rails without regulation. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 26μA typical at 25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage (VIO) | 7mV max at 25°C - ensures reliable detection of ≥10mV signal thresholds in precision level-shift applications. |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL) | 600ns typical at VCC = 5V, 10mV overdrive - meets timing requirements for mid-speed power sequencing and fault flag assertion. |
| Output Sink Current | 10mA min at VOL ≤ 400mV (5V supply) - drives standard 5.1kΩ pull-ups to 3.3V or 1.8V logic with margin. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | −0.1V to VCC−0.7V - accepts ground-referenced sensor outputs and rail-sensing inputs without level-shifting. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000V - withstands handling in standard assembly environments without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 1.60mm × 2.90mm body, 0.95mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts reference or signal voltage; biased by internal PNP stage allowing ground-level operation. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Accepts sensed signal; differential comparison against IN+ determines output state. |
| 3 (OUT) | Open-drain output | Sinks current when IN− > IN+ + VIO; requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and input signals; must be low-impedance to maintain VICR integrity. |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Power rail input; bypass capacitor (0.1μF) required adjacent to pin for noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 26μA typical enables continuous monitoring in energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Includes ground and extends to VCC−0.7V - eliminates need for input biasing resistors in single-supply designs. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Supports mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 5V comparator driving 1.8V MCU GPIO) and wired-AND bus configurations. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from −40°C to +125°C - suitable for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor controllers. |
| Fast response with low overdrive | 200ns propagation delay at 100mV overdrive (5V) - enables accurate edge detection in digital power control loops. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV331IDBVR | Lower 17μA ICC, 1.5V–5.5V supply, 5mV VIO max - improved accuracy and lower power. | Better suited for ultra-low-power IoT sensors where every nanoamp matters; same SOT-23-5 footprint. | Select TLV331IDBVR when VIO < 5mV or ICC < 20μA is mandatory; LMV331IDBVR remains optimal for cost-sensitive high-volume industrial use. |
| LM393DR | Wider 2V–36V supply range, 2mA ICC, 7mV VIO, SOIC-8 - higher power, higher voltage tolerance. | Used in legacy 12V/24V industrial controls where wide supply range outweighs quiescent current concerns. | Choose LM393DR only for systems requiring >5.5V operation or existing SOIC-8 layouts; LMV331IDBVR is superior for modern 3.3V/5V embedded designs. |
Compared with TLV331IDBVR and LM393DR, LMV331IDBVR delivers the best balance of low power (26μA), ground-sensing capability, and cost for 2.7V–5.5V portable and industrial applications - offering verified performance where ultra-low ICC or high-voltage operation are not primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMV331IDBVR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV331IDBVR is 5.5V. Operation beyond this value risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V, ensuring full specification compliance including input common-mode range, propagation delay, and output saturation voltage. This makes LMV331IDBVR ideal for 3.3V and 5V systems but unsuitable for 12V or higher rails without regulation.
Does LMV331IDBVR have internal hysteresis?
No, LMV331IDBVR does not include internal hysteresis. It is a basic comparator with no built-in noise immunity. When used in noisy environments - such as motor control feedback or power supply monitoring - external positive feedback (e.g., resistor from OUT to IN+) must be added to introduce controlled hysteresis. The LMV331IDBVR datasheet provides design guidance for calculating hysteresis thresholds based on RPULLUP and desired voltage margin.
Can LMV331IDBVR interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes, LMV331IDBVR can interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller GPIO using its open-drain output. Connect the pull-up resistor to the 1.8V rail (not VCC). At 1.8V pull-up and 10kΩ resistance, the output sinks <200μA while maintaining VOL < 400mV - well within 1.8V logic-high and logic-low thresholds. This level-shifting capability is a core design feature confirmed in TI's application notes for LMV331IDBVR.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LMV331IDBVR at −40°C?
At −40°C, the input common-mode voltage range of LMV331IDBVR is specified from 0V to VCC−0.7V. For example, at VCC = 2.7V, the usable input range is 0V to 2.0V; at VCC = 5.5V, it is 0V to 4.8V. This ground-inclusive range remains stable across temperature and enables direct connection of ground-referenced sensors - a key differentiator versus older comparators like LM393.
Is LMV331IDBVR pin-compatible with other comparators in the LMV3xx family?
LMV331IDBVR (SOT-23-5) shares identical pinout with LMV331IDCKR (SC-70-5) for IN+, IN−, OUT, GND, and VCC - enabling direct PCB footprint substitution between these two packages. However, it is not pin-compatible with dual (LMV393) or quad (LMV339) variants, which use 8-pin and 14-pin packages with different pin assignments. Always verify layout compatibility using TI's official DBV and DCK package drawings before redesign.
