Product details
Overview
LMV7291MGX 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 LMV7291MGX datasheet, LMV7291MGX pinout, LMV7291MGX application, or LMV7291MGX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-5 package layout, real-world use cases, and validated alternative comparators for space-constrained, sub-2V systems requiring stable response and minimal quiescent current.
Technical Context
The LMV7291MGX employs a dual-input-stage BiCMOS architecture-paralleling PNP and NPN differential pairs-to achieve rail-to-rail input common-mode range (−0.1 V to VCC + 0.1 V) across 1.8 V to 5 V supplies. Its crossover point near 950 mV below VCC necessitates VCM placement away from that region to avoid offset voltage discontinuity.
It integrates a push-pull CMOS output stage enabling rail-to-rail swing with no external pull-up, while minimizing static power draw. Shoot-through current during output transitions mandates local 0.1 µF ceramic bypassing at VCC/GND pins to suppress supply glitches and ensure stability in noise-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.0 V - supports direct integration into Li-ion, coin-cell, and multi-rail embedded systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 9 µA at 1.8 V - enables >10-year battery life in always-on wake-up comparators for IoT endpoints. |
| Propagation Delay | 880 ns (tPHL, 20 mV overdrive, 1.8 V) - sufficient for 1 MHz window detection in power sequencing and ADC trigger circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | 4 mV - ensures reliable 10 mV-level threshold discrimination in precision voltage monitors. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −0.1 V to VCC + 0.1 V - allows direct sensing of signals at ground or near-VCC, e.g., battery undervoltage lockout at 0 V reference. |
| Output Type | Push-pull CMOS - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors, reducing BOM count and board area in portable designs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in automotive cabin modules and handheld medical devices. |
Pinout & Package
LMV7291MGX is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package - 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch - optimized for high-density PCB layouts in wearables and compact sensor nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Output | CMOS push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥0.5 mA while maintaining VOL ≤70 mV and VOH ≥1.7 V at 1.8 V supply. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | Differential input node with 10 nA bias current and 200 pA offset current - compatible with high-impedance resistor dividers and capacitive sensors. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for supply and signal currents; requires low-inductance connection to solid ground plane to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 4 (+IN) | Non-inverting Input | Differential input node matching –IN in bias/offset specs; used for active-high threshold detection when referenced to stable VREF. |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Supply | Single-supply input accepting 1.8–5.0 V; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Operates with inputs down to −0.1 V and up to VCC + 0.1 V - enables direct interface to 0 V-referenced battery terminals and VCC-referenced analog rails. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 9 µA typical at 1.8 V - reduces system standby power by >50% versus comparable comparators like TLV3701, extending shelf life of sealed devices. |
| Low input offset drift | 10 µV/°C - maintains <100 µV total offset shift over −40°C to +85°C, critical for temperature-stable voltage supervisors. |
| Push-pull output architecture | No external pull-up required - saves PCB area and eliminates I²R losses in high-duty-cycle alert signaling (e.g., smoke detector alarms). |
| SC70-5 package compatibility | Pin-compatible with industry-standard 5-pin SC70 footprints - allows drop-in replacement in existing space-constrained layouts without redesign. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Low-Power Wake-Up Detector |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3701IDBVR | Higher supply current (1.8 µA min, but 17 µA typ at 1.8 V); 1.2 µs propagation delay; same SC70-5 package. | Less suitable for multi-year battery life; acceptable where 300 ns slower response is tolerable. | Choose TLV3701IDBVR only if higher drive strength (16 mA sink/source) or wider temp range (−55°C to +125°C) is required. |
| NCS2200SN2T1G | Open-drain output; 1 µA supply current; 3 µs propagation delay; SOT-23-5 package (pinout differs). | Requires external pull-up; unsuitable for push-pull timing-critical paths; larger footprint than SC70. | Select NCS2200SN2T1G only when open-drain logic interfacing (e.g., I²C bus arbitration) or ultra-low-IQ dominates design priorities. |
Compared with TLV3701IDBVR and NCS2200SN2T1G, the LMV7291MGX uniquely balances sub-1 µA-class quiescent current, sub-1 µs speed, rail-to-rail input, and true push-pull output in the smallest SC70-5 footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, long-life, single-supply systems where every nanoamp and nanosecond matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMV7291MGX?
The LMV7291MGX has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ − V−) of 5.5 V. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. The device is fully characterized and specified from 1.8 V to 5.0 V, with key parameters like propagation delay and output swing validated across that full range. Always observe the 5.5 V absolute maximum to ensure reliability in transient-overvoltage conditions.
Does the LMV7291MGX support rail-to-rail input at 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the LMV7291MGX supports rail-to-rail input operation at 1.8 V supply, with an input common-mode voltage range from −0.1 V to VCC + 0.1 V (i.e., −0.1 V to 1.9 V). This is achieved via paralleled PNP/NPN input stages, enabling direct interface to ground-referenced signals and VCC-referenced references without attenuation or level-shifting circuitry.
What is the typical propagation delay of the LMV7291MGX at 1.8 V?
The LMV7291MGX exhibits a typical propagation delay of 880 ns (tPHL) and 1100 ns (tPLH) at 1.8 V supply with 20 mV input overdrive and 50 pF//5 kΩ load. These values are measured under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C) and represent the dominant timing constraint for threshold detection in low-voltage microcontroller wake-up and power sequencing applications.
Can the LMV7291MGX drive capacitive loads directly?
The LMV7291MGX push-pull output can drive moderate capacitive loads (≤50 pF) without external compensation, as confirmed in its AC characterization. For loads exceeding 50 pF - such as long PCB traces or multiple gate inputs - series resistance (10–100 Ω) should be added at the output to prevent ringing and ensure monotonic transitions, per TI's application guidance in SNOSA86E.
Is the LMV7291MGX pin-compatible with other SC70-5 comparators?
The LMV7291MGX uses the standard 5-pin SC70 (DCK) pinout: Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = –IN, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = +IN, Pin 5 = V+. This matches TI's TLV3701IDBVR and several industry-standard comparators, enabling mechanical compatibility. However, functional differences (e.g., open-drain vs. push-pull, supply current, delay) require schematic verification before substitution.
