Product details
Overview
LMV7291MG/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel rail-to-rail input comparator optimized for ultra-low-power, low-voltage operation at 1.8 V supply, delivering 880 ns propagation delay (20 mV overdrive), 9 µA supply current, and 4 mV max input offset voltage. It serves as a precision threshold detector in battery-powered sensor interfaces and power monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV7291MG/NOPB datasheet, LMV7291MG/NOPB pinout, LMV7291MG/NOPB application, or LMV7291MG/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 package footprint, push-pull output stage enabling direct logic interfacing without pull-up resistors, and guaranteed operation down to 1.8 V with rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 0.1 V beyond rails.
Technical Context
The LMV7291MG/NOPB employs a dual-input-stage BiCMOS architecture-paralleling PNP and NPN differential pairs-to achieve rail-to-rail input operation across −0.1 V to VCC + 0.1 V. Its crossover point occurs near 950 mV below VCC, requiring design attention to avoid VOS discontinuity in critical sensing regions.
It features a CMOS push-pull output stage delivering VOH ≥ 1.7 V and VOL ≤ 70 mV at 0.5 mA load under 1.8 V supply, eliminating external pull-up components and minimizing system-level quiescent power. Input bias current remains stable at 10 nA across temperature, supporting high-impedance source applications such as battery voltage dividers and thermistor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct integration into 1.8 V, 2.7 V, and 3.3 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 9 µA at 1.8 V - Supports multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints and wearables. |
| Propagation Delay | 880 ns (tPHL, 20 mV overdrive, 1.8 V) - Sufficient speed for battery fuel gauging, power-good assertion, and wake-up event detection. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | 4 mV - Ensures reliable 10–20 mV hysteresis implementation in low-voltage brown-out detectors. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −0.1 V to VCC + 0.1 V - Allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or VCC, e.g., Li-ion cell voltage monitoring. |
| Output Type | Push-pull CMOS - Drives TTL/CMOS loads directly; no external pull-up required, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial and portable consumer environments including laptops and medical sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LMV7291MG/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package - 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld and wearable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - V+ | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts 1.8 V to 5.5 V; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor adjacent to pin for noise immunity. |
| 2 - IN− | Inverting Input | Differential input node; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range; high-impedance (10 nA bias current). |
| 3 - IN+ | Non-inverting Input | Differential input node; identical electrical characteristics to IN−; used for reference or signal routing flexibility. |
| 4 - GND | Ground Reference | Return path for supply and output; requires low-inductance connection to solid ground plane. |
| 5 - OUT | Push-Pull Output | CMOS-compatible digital output; sinks up to 6 mA / sources up to 6 mA at 1.8 V; no external pull-up needed. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3691IDCKR | Lower 320 ns propagation delay at 1.8 V but higher 15 µA supply current; same SC70-5 package. | Better suited for faster wake-up timing-critical systems where 6 µA extra current is acceptable. | Select TLV3691IDCKR when propagation delay < 400 ns is mandatory and supply current budget allows +6 µA. |
| MAX9021AXK+T | Higher 1.5 µA supply current, 5 mV VOS max, and SOT-23-5 package (larger than SC70); no rail-to-rail input. | Requires external level-shifting for ground-referenced inputs; less suitable for sub-2 V battery monitoring. | Choose MAX9021AXK+T only if legacy SOT-23 layout reuse is required and rail-to-rail input is not needed. |
Compared with TLV3691IDCKR and MAX9021AXK+T, LMV7291MG/NOPB delivers the lowest supply current (9 µA) in the smallest footprint (SC70-5) while maintaining rail-to-rail input capability - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained battery-operated systems where moderate speed suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for LMV7291MG/NOPB?
The LMV7291MG/NOPB is fully specified and functional down to 1.8 V supply voltage, with guaranteed performance including 880 ns propagation delay, 9 µA supply current, and rail-to-rail input operation. Operation below 1.8 V is not characterized and may result in degraded parameters or undefined behavior. The absolute maximum rating is 5.5 V, and the device is not rated for operation above that limit.
Does LMV7291MG/NOPB support rail-to-rail input, and what does that mean for my circuit?
Yes, LMV7291MG/NOPB supports rail-to-rail input with a common-mode range from −0.1 V to VCC + 0.1 V. This means it can accurately compare signals referenced to ground (e.g., battery voltage dividers) or to VCC (e.g., supply margining) without external level-shifting circuitry. However, VOS varies near the input stage crossover point (~950 mV below VCC), so design margins should avoid that region for precision thresholds.
Can LMV7291MG/NOPB drive a standard CMOS logic input directly?
Yes, LMV7291MG/NOPB features a push-pull CMOS output capable of sourcing/sinking up to 6 mA at 1.8 V, producing VOH ≥ 1.7 V and VOL ≤ 70 mV under 0.5 mA load. This meets standard 1.8 V CMOS logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 1.35 V, VIL ≤ 0.45 V), allowing direct interface without pull-up resistors - reducing component count and board area in space-sensitive designs.
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for LMV7291MG/NOPB?
TI recommends placing a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between V+ and GND, mounted as close as possible to pins 1 and 4 of LMV7291MG/NOPB. For systems with shared supply rails, add a bulk 6.8 µF or larger tantalum capacitor at the board-level supply entry point. This dual-stage decoupling suppresses shoot-through current transients from the push-pull output and maintains stable V+ during fast output transitions.
Is LMV7291MG/NOPB pin-compatible with other SC70-5 comparators like TLV3691 or MAX9021?
No, LMV7291MG/NOPB is not pin-compatible with TLV3691IDCKR or MAX9021AXK+T. While all three use SC70-5 packages, their pin assignments differ: LMV7291MG/NOPB uses Pin 1=V+, Pin 2=IN−, Pin 3=IN+, Pin 4=GND, Pin 5=OUT; TLV3691 uses Pin 1=OUT, Pin 2=GND, Pin 3=IN−, Pin 4=IN+, Pin 5=V+; MAX9021 uses Pin 1=OUT, Pin 2=IN−, Pin 3=IN+, Pin 4=GND, Pin 5=V+. PCB layout must be verified per each device's datasheet.
