Product details
Overview
LMV331IDBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, low-voltage, open-collector comparator optimized for portable and space-constrained applications. 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 precise threshold detection in battery-powered vacuum robots and server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMV331IDBVT datasheet, LMV331IDBVT pinout, LMV331IDBVT application, or LMV331IDBVT 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 with 100mV overdrive, and compatibility with logic-level pull-up voltages from 1V to 5V in level-shifting configurations.
Technical Context
The LMV331IDBVT 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 systems with 3.3V or 5V rails. Its open-drain NPN output stage sinks current when IN– exceeds IN+, supporting wired-AND logic and flexible interface voltage translation.
It functions strictly as a voltage comparator with no internal hysteresis, requiring external design attention to noise immunity. Electrical performance is specified across –40°C to +125°C, with input bias current ≤400nA and output sink capability up to 84mA at 5V supply - validated under both 2.7V and 5V operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Supply Current (TYP) | 26μA at 25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage (MAX) | 7mV at 25°C - ensures reliable detection of small signal differentials above ~10mV. |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL) | 600ns at 5V, 100mV overdrive - suitable for sub-microsecond response timing in PSU fault detection. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 150mV typical at 1.5mA sink - minimizes power loss and allows clean low-state definition with standard pull-ups. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.1V to VCC–0.7V - permits ground-referenced inputs and compatibility with 0–4.2V sensor outputs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (1.60mm × 2.90mm body), surface-mount, moisture-sensitive level 1, RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts reference or signal voltage; common-mode range includes ground for single-supply use. |
| 2 (IN–) | Inverting input | Accepts monitored signal; differential comparison against IN+ determines output state. |
| 3 (OUT) | Open-drain output | Sinks current when IN– > IN+; requires external pull-up to define logic-high voltage (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V). |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and input signals; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Single power rail (2.7–5.5V); bypass capacitor recommended per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 26μA typical enables energy harvesting and coin-cell operation in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Rail-to-rail input capability | Common-mode range includes ground and extends to VCC–0.7V - simplifies interfacing with 0–VCC sensors and DACs. |
| Open-collector output | Supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3V comparator driving 1.8V MCU interrupt line via appropriate pull-up). |
| Fast propagation delay | 200ns tPHL at 5V/100mV overdrive enables real-time overvoltage/undervoltage fault response in power supplies. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - suitable for automotive cabin modules and industrial motor control enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV331IDCKR | Identical electrical specs; SC-70-5 package (1.25mm × 2.00mm), 0.25mm smaller footprint than SOT-23-5. | Better suited for ultra-dense PCB layouts where board area is constrained beyond SOT-23 limits. | Select LMV331IDCKR when minimizing footprint is critical and reflow profile supports SC-70 thermal mass. |
| TLV331IDBVR | Lower 17μA typical IQ, 5mV max VIO, same SOT-23-5 package; not drop-in due to different pinout (IN+/IN– swapped). | Requires PCB layout revision; preferred for ultra-low-power designs where 9μA IQ reduction justifies redesign. | Choose TLV331IDBVR only if supply current reduction is primary and layout modification is acceptable. |
Compared with LMV331IDBVT, LMV331IDCKR offers identical performance in a smaller package but with identical pinout, while TLV331IDBVR delivers lower power and offset at the cost of non-compatible pin assignment - making LMV331IDBVT the optimal choice for legacy SOT-23-5 designs requiring proven reliability and direct replacement capability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LMV331IDBVT?
The LMV331IDBVT is specified to operate across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's recommended operating conditions and thermal metrics (RθJA = 238°C/W for DBV package), ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments such as motor control enclosures and automotive under-hood modules where the LMV331IDBVT serves as a fault-detection comparator.
Does LMV331IDBVT have internal hysteresis?
No, the LMV331IDBVT does not include internal hysteresis. Its functional mode is strictly voltage comparison with no built-in hysteresis circuitry. Designers must add external hysteresis via positive feedback if noise immunity is required - for example, by connecting a resistor from OUT to IN+ in applications like power supply UVLO where input transients could cause chatter. The LMV331IDBVT datasheet explicitly states this in Section 6.4.1.
What is the maximum sink current capability of LMV331IDBVT at 5V supply?
At VCC = 5V and TA = 25°C, the LMV331IDBVT can sink up to 84mA (maximum) while maintaining output saturation voltage ≤400mV. This value is specified in Section 5.7 of the datasheet under "Output current (sinking)" with VO ≤ 1.5V. In practice, continuous operation near this limit requires careful thermal management due to power dissipation in the output transistor.
Can LMV331IDBVT be used with a 1.8V pull-up voltage?
Yes, the LMV331IDBVT's open-drain output is fully compatible with 1.8V pull-up voltages. Since the output stage is a grounded NPN collector, the logic-high level is defined solely by the external pull-up voltage and does not depend on VCC. This enables direct interfacing with 1.8V MCUs or FPGAs - a key feature confirmed in Section 7.1 and Figure 7-1 of the LMV331IDBVT datasheet.
Is LMV331IDBVT pin-compatible with LM339 or LM393 comparators?
No, the LMV331IDBVT is not pin-compatible with LM339 or LM393. It is a single-channel device in SOT-23-5, whereas LM339 is quad (14-pin SOIC) and LM393 is dual (8-pin SOIC). Even the LMV393 (dual, SOT-23-8) uses a different pinout. Pin compatibility exists only within the LMV331 family (e.g., LMV331IDBVT and LMV331IDCKR share identical pin functions), as confirmed in Table 4-1 and the pin configuration diagrams.
