Product details
Overview
LMV331QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade single open-collector comparator operating from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, featuring 60 μA typical supply current, 200 mV typical output saturation voltage at 1 mA, and input common-mode range extending to ground. It is used in battery monitoring circuits for electric power steering (EPS) and body control modules where low-voltage detection and rail-to-rail input capability are essential.
For engineers reviewing the LMV331QDBVRQ1 datasheet, LMV331QDBVRQ1 pinout, LMV331QDBVRQ1 application, or LMV331QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, SOT-23-5 package footprint, open-collector output flexibility with external pull-up, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Technical Context
The LMV331QDBVRQ1 implements a bipolar input stage with rail-to-ground common-mode input range and an NPN open-collector output stage. Its internal architecture supports fast propagation delays - 600 ns tPHL and 450 ns tPLH at 5 V with 100 mV overdrive - while maintaining low quiescent current across automotive temperature extremes.
It operates as a single-supply comparator with no internal hysteresis, requiring external feedback for noise immunity. The device's input offset voltage is specified at 1.7–7 mV (typ/max) at 25°C and exhibits 5 μV/°C average drift over –40°C to +125°C, enabling stable threshold detection in thermally varying environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V automotive rails without regulation. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 60 μA typ at 25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Input Offset Voltage (VIO) | 1.7–7 mV typ/max at 25°C - ensures accurate voltage threshold comparison in sensor interface circuits. |
| Output Saturation Voltage (VSAT) | 200 mV typ at IO = 1 mA - minimizes voltage drop when sinking load current into logic or LED drivers. |
| Propagation Delay | 450–600 ns (tPLH/tPHL) at 5 V - suitable for real-time fault detection in motor control and safety-critical signaling. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC+ − 0.8 V - allows direct sensing of ground-referenced signals like battery voltage or thermistor dividers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cabin electronics. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm profile, surface-mount, lead-free (NIPDAU), moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Open-collector output | Sinks current only; requires external pull-up resistor to define high-level voltage and logic family compatibility. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Accepts reference or feedback signal; differential input voltage range ±5.5 V relative to IN+. |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Accepts sensed signal (e.g., battery voltage divider); common-mode range includes ground. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for supply and inputs; must be low-impedance to minimize offset error and noise coupling. |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Single supply input; powers internal circuitry and defines upper output voltage limit via external pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) qualification enables use in safety-critical automotive ECUs without additional reliability screening. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single open-collector comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV331QDBVRQ1 | CMOS input stage; 25 nA max input bias current vs. 250 nA for LMV331QDBVRQ1; 50 μA supply current. | Better for high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., pH probes); less suitable for noisy automotive harnesses due to higher ESD susceptibility. | Select TLV331QDBVRQ1 when ultra-low input bias current is required and system-level ESD protection is added externally. |
| LM393QPWRQ1 | Dual comparator in TSSOP-8; 100 μA supply current per channel; wider 2–36 V supply range; no ground-sensing input. | Requires level-shifting for ground-referenced inputs; better suited for legacy 12 V systems with higher supply margins. | Choose LM393QPWRQ1 when dual-channel functionality and higher supply tolerance outweigh footprint and ground-sensing needs. |
Compared with TLV331QDBVRQ1 and LM393QPWRQ1, the LMV331QDBVRQ1 offers optimal balance of ground-sensing capability, AEC-Q100 qualification, and low-power operation in compact SOT-23-5 - making it preferred for new automotive designs prioritizing size, accuracy at low voltages, and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for LMV331QDBVRQ1?
The LMV331QDBVRQ1 supports up to 23 mA sink current at VO ≤ 1.5 V and 25°C, with derating to 5 mA minimum across –40°C to +125°C. This enables direct driving of small relays, optocouplers, or logic inputs without external buffering. The LMV331QDBVRQ1 output stage remains functional even under sustained 10 mA loads at full temperature range, supporting robust fault-signaling in automotive ECUs.
Does LMV331QDBVRQ1 include internal hysteresis?
No, the LMV331QDBVRQ1 does not include internal hysteresis. Its input stage is optimized for precision threshold detection, requiring external positive feedback (e.g., resistor from OUT to IN+) to implement noise-immune hysteresis. This design gives system designers full control over hysteresis width and avoids fixed offsets that could compromise accuracy in critical automotive sensing applications involving the LMV331QDBVRQ1.
Can LMV331QDBVRQ1 operate from a 3.3 V supply in automotive environments?
Yes, the LMV331QDBVRQ1 is fully specified for 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation and functions reliably at 3.3 V across –40°C to +125°C. At 3.3 V, it delivers 60 μA typical supply current, 200 mV typical output saturation voltage, and maintains 1.7–7 mV input offset voltage - making it ideal for 3.3 V domain interfaces in modern automotive microcontrollers and sensor nodes using the LMV331QDBVRQ1.
What is the meaning of the top-side marking 'LADQ' on LMV331QDBVRQ1?
The top-side marking 'LADQ' identifies the LMV331QDBVRQ1 as a Texas Instruments automotive-qualified device in SOT-23-5 (DBV) package. The 'Q' suffix confirms AEC-Q100 qualification, and 'LADQ' is the standardized TI die code for this specific wafer lot and assembly site. This marking is consistent across all LMV331QDBVRQ1 reels and enables traceability to manufacturing origin and process flow for the LMV331QDBVRQ1.
How does the input common-mode range of LMV331QDBVRQ1 benefit automotive designs?
The LMV331QDBVRQ1 features an input common-mode range that includes ground (0 V), allowing direct comparison of signals referenced to chassis ground - such as battery voltage dividers or thermistor networks - without level-shifting circuitry. This simplifies PCB layout, reduces component count, and improves accuracy in automotive applications where ground-referenced sensing is pervasive, including those using the LMV331QDBVRQ1 for EPS or HVAC control.
