Product details
Overview
LMV331M7/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single, low-voltage, rail-to-rail input comparator with open-collector output, designed for space-constrained portable electronics. It operates from 2.7 V to 5 V, draws only 60 µA typical supply current per channel, features 200 ns propagation delay at 5 V, and supports input common-mode voltage down to −0.1 V (ground-sensing), enabling direct interface with sensors and battery-monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV331M7/NOPB datasheet, LMV331M7/NOPB pinout, LMV331M7/NOPB application, or LMV331M7/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC70-5 package footprint, ground-referenced input range, open-collector output compatibility with CMOS/TTL logic, and low-power performance in battery-operated systems.
Technical Context
The LMV331M7/NOPB implements a bipolar-input, BiCMOS-output architecture optimized for noise immunity and fast response in low-voltage analog threshold detection. Its input stage includes ESD-protected PNP transistors enabling true ground-sensing operation, while the open-collector NPN output stage allows wired-OR configurations and flexible pull-up voltage selection up to V+.
It functions as a voltage comparator with hysteresis-capable topology, supporting basic threshold detection, oscillator generation, peak detection, and logic-level translation. The device requires no internal compensation and operates stably with capacitive loads up to 100 pF, per TI's characterization data.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5 V - enables direct use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.7 V) and 3.3-V/5-V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 60 µA - supports >1-year battery life in always-on sensor wake-up circuits powered by CR2032 or coin cells. |
| Propagation Delay | 200 ns at 5 V, 100 mV overdrive - sufficient for <5 MHz clock monitoring and fast fault-detection response in power supplies. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −0.1 V to 4.2 V at 5 V supply - permits direct connection of 0 V-referenced signals (e.g., thermistor dividers, battery voltage taps). |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 200 mV at 4 mA sink - ensures reliable low-state logic recognition when driving 3.3-V CMOS inputs with standard 10-kΩ pull-up. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Typ) | 7 mV - sets minimum detectable differential for precision threshold applications such as battery end-of-discharge detection. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±800 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for handheld device front-end protection. |
Pinout & Package
LMV331M7/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm), offering the smallest footprint among TI's LMV33x-N series - approximately half the area of the SOT-23 variant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +IN | Noninverting input - accepts analog signals down to −0.1 V; used for reference or signal input in high-side sensing. |
| 2 | V− | Negative supply terminal - connected to system ground (0 V) in single-supply operation; must be lowest potential node. |
| 3 | −IN | Inverting input - typically tied to voltage reference or feedback divider; determines switching threshold polarity. |
| 4 | OUT | Open-collector NPN output - requires external pull-up resistor; sinks current when active; enables wired-OR logic and mixed-voltage interfacing. |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts 2.7–5 V; powers internal circuitry and defines output high-level ceiling via pull-up voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-sensing input stage | Input common-mode range extends 0.1 V below V−, enabling direct measurement of signals referenced to system ground without level-shifting. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 60 µA typical per channel allows integration into energy-harvesting nodes and always-on IoT endpoints with multi-year battery life. |
| Open-collector output | Supports flexible logic interfacing: pull-up to 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V; enables shared-bus alarm signaling and window comparator topologies. |
| Fast propagation delay | 200 ns at 5 V ensures timely response in overvoltage lockout, motor stall detection, and real-time signal edge discrimination. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40°C to +85°C operation validated across full supply range - suitable for automotive cabin modules and industrial handhelds. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV331DBVR | Lower 25 µA supply current but higher 9 mV typical offset; SC70-5 package identical. | Better suited for ultra-low-power wake-up sensors where speed <1 µs is acceptable. | Select TLV331DBVR when minimizing standby current is critical and 200 ns delay is unnecessary. |
| LMV331IDCKR | Same electrical specs and SC70-5 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance marking (NOPB vs. IDCKR). | No functional difference; both meet same TI specification SNOS018H. | LMV331IDCKR is functionally identical and interchangeable - choose based on procurement channel availability and reel size requirements. |
Compared with TLV331DBVR, LMV331M7/NOPB offers faster response (200 ns vs. 1.5 µs) at modest current cost (60 µA vs. 25 µA), making it preferable for timing-critical detection; versus LMV331IDCKR, it is a direct form-fit-function replacement differing only in part marking and packaging logistics.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for LMV331M7/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV331M7/NOPB is 5.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 5 V per TI's SNOS018H datasheet. Operation above 5 V risks permanent damage and invalidates parametric guarantees; sustained use at 5.5 V is not advised in production designs. LMV331M7/NOPB delivers specified performance only within the 2.7–5 V window.
Does LMV331M7/NOPB support rail-to-rail input operation?
LMV331M7/NOPB supports rail-to-rail *input common-mode range*, extending from −0.1 V below V− to 0.8 V below V+ (e.g., −0.1 V to 4.2 V at 5 V supply). However, it does not support true rail-to-rail *output swing* - its open-collector output saturates near ground when sinking current and pulls up only to the external pull-up voltage. This behavior is inherent to its NPN output stage and confirmed in Section 6.7 of the LMV331M7/NOPB datasheet.
Can LMV331M7/NOPB drive a 3.3-V logic input directly?
Yes - LMV331M7/NOPB can drive a 3.3-V logic input directly when configured with a 3.3-V pull-up resistor on the OUT pin. Its output saturation voltage is 200 mV max at 4 mA sink, well below the 0.8 V VIH threshold of standard 3.3-V CMOS. No level shifter is needed, provided the pull-up voltage does not exceed V+ (5 V max), as stated in Section 7.3.1 of the LMV331M7/NOPB datasheet.
Is LMV331M7/NOPB pin-compatible with other comparators in the LMV33x-N family?
No - LMV331M7/NOPB (single-channel, SC70-5) is not pin-compatible with dual LMV393-N (SOIC-8/VSSOP-8) or quad LMV339-N (SOIC-14/TSSOP-14). Pin count, layout, and terminal assignments differ fundamentally. Only LMV331 variants in SC70-5 (e.g., LMV331IDCKR) share identical pinout and footprint with LMV331M7/NOPB, as verified in Table 1 and Figure 5 of the SNOS018H datasheet.
What is the typical input bias current of LMV331M7/NOPB at 25°C and 5-V supply?
The typical input bias current of LMV331M7/NOPB is 25 nA at TJ = 25°C and V+ = 5 V, with a maximum of 400 nA across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range, per Section 6.7 of the official SNOS018H datasheet. This low bias current minimizes loading error in high-impedance reference dividers and sensor interfaces, especially critical in battery-monitoring applications.
