Product details
Overview
LMV331IDBVRE4 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 interface with 1.8V/3.3V logic in battery-powered vacuum robots and server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMV331IDBVRE4 datasheet, LMV331IDBVRE4 pinout, LMV331IDBVRE4 application, or LMV331IDBVRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-5 package footprint, guaranteed operation down to –40°C, open-drain flexibility for level-shifting, and compatibility with low-power microcontroller wake-up and overvoltage detection circuits.
Technical Context
The LMV331IDBVRE4 implements a PNP-input stage that enables input common-mode voltage down to ground (–0.1V min) and up to VCC – 0.7V, supporting accurate sensing in single-supply 3.3V and 5V systems. Its open-drain NPN output stage sinks up to 23mA (2.7V supply) or 84mA (5V supply), allowing configurable pull-up voltage and wired-AND functionality.
Propagation delays are 1000ns (tPHL) and 500ns (tPLH) at 2.7V with 10mV overdrive, improving to 200–300ns at 5V. Input offset voltage is specified at ±7mV max (25°C), with 5μV/°C temperature coefficient - suitable for precision threshold detection without external trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to Li-ion battery rails and standard logic supplies 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 10mV-level overdrive detection in sensor threshold applications. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.1V to VCC – 0.7V - allows ground-referenced inputs and compatibility with 0–3.3V analog sensors. |
| Output Saturation Voltage (VSAT) | 150mV typical at 1.5mA sink - guarantees clean logic-low levels for 1.8V I/O interfaces with margin. |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL/tPLH) | 200ns / 300ns typical at 5V, 100mV overdrive - sufficient for power sequencing, fault flag assertion, and slow-speed control loops. |

| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - used for feedback, threshold comparison, or differential sensing. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be low-impedance and decoupled near device for noise immunity. |
| 4 | OUT | Open-drain output - requires external pull-up; enables level shifting, wired-AND, and flexible logic interfacing. |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply pin - bypass with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low supply current | 26μA typical - reduces quiescent power in battery-backed supervisory circuits and IoT edge nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV331IDBVR | Identical electrical specs and SOT-23-5 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3000 pcs vs 3000 pcs) and lead finish (NIPDAU vs NIPDAU). | No functional difference; both rated for –40°C to +125°C and share identical marking (R1IF/R1IK). | Select LMV331IDBVR for standard TI production release; LMV331IDBVRE4 is functionally identical with same MSL rating and RoHS compliance. |
| TLV331DBVR | Lower supply current (17μA typ), improved offset (±3mV max), but narrower common-mode range (0.2V below VCC) and no guaranteed –40°C operation. | Better for ultra-low-power wearable sensors; unsuitable for industrial temp-range or ground-sensing applications requiring full rail-to-rail input. | Choose TLV331DBVR only if sub-20μA ICC and tighter offset are critical, and operating temperature stays above –20°C with non-ground-referenced inputs. |
Compared with LMV331IDBVRE4, LMV331IDBVR offers identical performance and qualification - making it a seamless sourcing alternative - while TLV331DBVR trades ground-sensing capability and extended temperature support for lower power and better offset, limiting its use in harsh or precision-critical environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMV331IDBVRE4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV331IDBVRE4 is 5.5V, with recommended operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings. At 5V supply, LMV331IDBVRE4 delivers 84mA sink capability and 200ns propagation delay with 100mV overdrive - making it suitable for robust 5V system monitoring.
Does LMV331IDBVRE4 support ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, LMV331IDBVRE4 supports true ground-referenced inputs: its input common-mode voltage range extends to –0.1V (min) at 25°C and 0V across –40°C to +125°C. This enables direct connection of sensors or dividers referenced to system ground without level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage over comparators with limited lower common-mode limits.
What is the output configuration of LMV331IDBVRE4?
LMV331IDBVRE4 features an open-drain (open-collector) NPN output stage, requiring an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level. This configuration allows level shifting (e.g., 3.3V comparator output driving a 5V MCU interrupt), wired-AND logic, and flexible interface design - unlike push-pull outputs that fix the high-state voltage to VCC.
What package type is LMV331IDBVRE4 supplied in?
LMV331IDBVRE4 is supplied in a SOT-23-5 package (TI package code DBV), measuring 1.60mm × 2.90mm with 0.95mm height. It is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), and qualified for reflow up to 260°C. The part marking on the top surface is R1IF or R1IK, matching TI's standard SOT-23 labeling for this device family.
How does LMV331IDBVRE4 compare to LM339 in low-voltage operation?
LMV331IDBVRE4 is the single-channel, low-voltage counterpart to the legacy LM339: it operates down to 2.7V (vs LM339's 5V minimum), consumes 26μA typical supply current (vs ~500μA for LM339), and maintains rail-to-rail input capability including ground. While LM339 targets wide-supply industrial systems, LMV331IDBVRE4 is optimized for modern 3.3V/5V portable and energy-efficient designs where supply headroom and quiescent power are constrained.
