Product details
Overview
LMV331M5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single, low-voltage, rail-to-ground input comparator with open-collector output, 2.7–5 V supply range, 60 µA typical supply current per channel, and 200 ns propagation delay at 5 V. It operates across −40°C to +85°C and is used in battery-powered voltage monitoring and level-shifting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV331M5/NOPB datasheet, LMV331M5/NOPB pinout, LMV331M5/NOPB application, or LMV331M5/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its ground-sensing input range (−0.1 V to 4.2 V at 5 V), 200 mV output saturation voltage at 4 mA sink, SC70-5/SOT-23-5 package compatibility, and open-collector wired-OR capability.
Technical Context
The LMV331M5/NOPB implements a bipolar-input, BiCMOS-output comparator architecture optimized for low-voltage operation. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to −0.1 V (below ground) and up to 4.2 V (at 5 V supply), enabling direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground.
It features an uncommitted NPN output transistor requiring an external pull-up resistor (1–10 kΩ), supporting wired-OR logic, TTL/CMOS interfacing, and flexible output voltage translation - all while maintaining 60 µA typical quiescent current and 200 ns propagation delay under 100 mV overdrive at 5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5 V - enables direct use with Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without level shifting. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −0.1 V to 4.2 V at 5 V supply - allows ground-referenced inputs and detection of near-rail signals. |
| Propagation Delay | 200 ns (typ) at 100 mV overdrive, 5 V - supports medium-speed threshold detection in portable timing circuits. |
| Supply Current | 60 µA (typ) per channel - reduces battery drain in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 200 mV at 4 mA sink - ensures reliable low-state logic recognition when driving 3.3 V CMOS loads. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1.7–7 mV (typ) - supports accurate threshold comparison in precision voltage-detection designs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±800 V - meets standard handling requirements for consumer electronics assembly. |
Pinout & Package
LMV331M5/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm) - the smallest footprint option among TI's LMV33x-N series, approximately half the area of SOT-23-5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+IN) | Noninverting Input | Accepts analog signal to be compared against reference; supports common-mode down to −0.1 V. |
| 2 (V−) | Negative Supply | Ground connection in single-supply operation; must be tied to system GND. |
| 3 (−IN) | Inverting Input | Receives reference voltage or feedback signal; same input range as +IN. |
| 4 (OUT) | Open-Collector Output | Sinks current only; requires external pull-up to define HIGH level and enable wired-OR logic. |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Supply | Connects to 2.7–5 V rail; powers internal circuitry and defines upper output voltage limit via pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-Sensing Input Stage | Common-mode range includes −0.1 V below ground - enables direct interface with 0 V–referenced sensors and DAC outputs. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 60 µA typical at 5 V - extends battery life in portable devices operating continuously for weeks. |
| Fast Propagation Response | 200 ns at 100 mV overdrive - suitable for pulse-width detection and oscillator feedback loops up to ~1 MHz. |
| Open-Collector Output | Supports wired-OR, level translation, and direct TTL/CMOS drive with user-selectable pull-up voltage ≤ V+. |
| Small Outline Packaging | SC70-5 (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm) - saves PCB area in space-constrained wearables and sensor nodes. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Level-Shifting Interface |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV331IDBVR | Lower 25 µA supply current, but 360 ns propagation delay; rail-to-rail input (not ground-sensing). | Better for ultra-low-power sleep-mode monitoring; less suitable for ground-referenced analog signals. | Select TLV331IDBVR when sub-30 µA current dominates over speed and input range. |
| LM393DR | Higher 1 mA supply current, wider 2–36 V supply range, slower 1.3 µs delay, SOIC-8 only. | Preferred for legacy 5 V/12 V industrial systems where power efficiency is secondary to robustness. | Choose LM393DR for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications with existing SOIC footprints. |
Compared with TLV331IDBVR and LM393DR, LMV331M5/NOPB uniquely balances low 60 µA current, 200 ns speed, ground-sensing input, and SC70 packaging - making it optimal for modern portable electronics requiring compact, efficient, and ground-aware threshold detection.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMV331M5/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV331M5/NOPB is 5.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 5 V. Operation above 5 V risks permanent damage, and performance parameters such as input offset voltage and propagation delay are only specified and ensured within the 2.7–5 V range per the official SNOS018H datasheet.
Does LMV331M5/NOPB support rail-to-rail input?
No - LMV331M5/NOPB does not support full rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode range extends from −0.1 V to 4.2 V at 5 V supply, which includes ground but stops 0.8 V below V+, unlike true rail-to-rail input comparators. This ground-sensing capability is intentional for low-side signal detection, not full rail coverage.
Can LMV331M5/NOPB drive a 3.3 V logic input directly?
Yes - when configured with a 3.3 V pull-up resistor on the open-collector output, LMV331M5/NOPB delivers a valid HIGH level (~3.3 V) and LOW level (~200 mV at 4 mA), meeting standard 3.3 V CMOS input thresholds. The output sink current capability (up to 10 mA at 5 V) exceeds typical CMOS input leakage requirements.
Is LMV331M5/NOPB pin-compatible with other SC70-5 comparators?
LMV331M5/NOPB uses the standard SC70-5 pinout (V+, −IN, +IN, OUT, V−) defined in TI's documentation and matches industry-standard SC70 comparator layouts. However, functional compatibility depends on electrical specs - e.g., TLV331IDBVR shares the same pinout but differs in input range and propagation delay, so direct substitution requires design validation.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LMV331M5/NOPB in SC70-5 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for LMV331M5/NOPB in the SC70-5 (DCK) package is 478°C/W, as specified in Section 6.4 of the SNOS018H datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and informs maximum power dissipation limits - e.g., at 85°C ambient, max continuous power is ~136 mW before reaching 150°C junction limit.
