Product details
Overview
TL3016CPWR from Texas Instruments is an ultrafast precision comparator IC with complementary TTL-compatible outputs, 7.6 ns typical propagation delay, ±5-V or single 5-V supply operation, and latch-enable capability for synchronized decision capture in high-speed digital systems such as laser pulse detection and ADC front-end timing control.
For engineers reviewing the TL3016CPWR datasheet, TL3016CPWR pinout, TL3016CPWR application, or TL3016CPWR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and two confirmed functional alternatives - all aligned to TI's SLCS130D revision March 2000 specification and current production status.
Technical Context
The TL3016CPWR implements a bipolar differential input stage with high-gain open-loop architecture optimized for sub-10 ns switching. Its latch-enable terminal controls output state retention without external logic, and complementary Q/Q̅ outputs drive standard TTL loads directly.
It operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature with 10.6 mA typical positive supply current and supports rail-to-rail common-mode input range (–3.75 V to +3.5 V at ±5 V supplies), enabling robust interfacing in mixed-signal timing circuits where low offset voltage (3 mV typ) and tight temperature drift (–4.8 µV/°C) are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation delay | 7.6 ns typical at ±5 V, 100 mV overdrive - enables sampling of >100 MHz transient events. |
| Input offset voltage | 3 mV typical at 25°C - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision level-shifting applications. |
| Supply current | 10.6 mA typical positive supply current - delivers ultrafast performance at half the power of LT1016. |
| Common-mode input range | –3.75 V to +3.5 V at ±5 V supplies - supports direct connection to op-amp outputs and sensor buffers. |
| Output type | Complementary TTL-compatible Q/Q̅ - eliminates need for external inverters in clock/data strobe generation. |
| Latch enable | Dedicated LATCH ENABLE pin with 2 V high-level threshold - allows synchronous capture of comparator decisions in pipelined systems. |
| Operating temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade instrumentation and industrial control interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC+ | Positive supply input | Accepts +5 V (single supply) or +5 V (split-supply mode); decoupling required within 1 cm. |
| 2 - IN+ | Non-inverting input | Differential input node with 10 µA max bias current; referenced to GND or negative rail depending on supply configuration. |
| 3 - IN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; matched to IN+ for <3 mV offset; common-mode range extends to –3.75 V at ±5 V. |
| 4 - VCC− | Negative supply input | Accepts –5 V in split-supply mode; floats or ties to GND in single-supply operation. |
| 5 - Q OUT | True output | TTL-compatible active-high output sinking up to 10 mA; VOH = 3.6 V min at 1 mA load. |
| 6 - Q̅ OUT | Complementary output | Active-low inverted copy of Q OUT; enables direct interface to D-type flip-flops and SR latches. |
| 7 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and output currents; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 8 - LATCH ENABLE | Output latch control | CMOS-compatible enable input; latches Q/Q̅ states when high (VIH ≥ 2 V); no internal pull-up/down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast propagation delay | 7.6 ns typical ensures timing-critical decisions in laser rangefinders and high-speed data acquisition. |
| Low-power precision operation | 10.6 mA supply current at full speed - enables dense comparator arrays without thermal derating. |
| Single- or dual-supply flexibility | Operates from 5 V only or ±5 V - simplifies power architecture in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Integrated output latch | Dedicated LATCH ENABLE pin eliminates external gating logic for synchronized sampling in FPGA-based controllers. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1016CN8#PBF | 11 ns propagation delay, 22 mA supply current, no latch enable, DIP-8 package | Legacy through-hole design; lacks synchronization capability for pipelined systems | Choose when board space permits DIP layout and latch functionality is unnecessary. |
| TL3016CDR | Same die, SOIC-8 package (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm), identical electrical specs, tube/reel packaging | No footprint change required but larger PCB area; higher thermal resistance than TSSOP | Prefer for hand-soldering prototyping or legacy SOIC-compatible designs requiring same performance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TL3016CPWR?
The TL3016CPWR is rated for 0°C to 70°C free-air operating temperature, matching the TL3016C grade per SLCS130D. It is not qualified for extended industrial range (–40°C to 85°C); that specification applies only to TL3016IPWR. Thermal derating begins above 70°C, and absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C.
Does TL3016CPWR require external hysteresis for noise immunity?
No, the TL3016CPWR does not integrate internal hysteresis, but its 97 dB common-mode rejection ratio and 7.6 ns propagation delay inherently limit susceptibility to slow-rising noise. External hysteresis resistors may be added between IN+ and Q OUT if used in noisy environments like motor drives, but are unnecessary in clean-signal applications such as laser pulse detection.
Can TL3016CPWR operate from a single 3.3-V supply?
No - the TL3016CPWR is specified only for single 5-V or dual ±5-V operation per SLCS130D. At 3.3 V, output swing collapses below TTL thresholds, propagation delay increases beyond 20 ns, and input common-mode range shrinks to 1.25 V–3.5 V, violating recommended operating conditions. Use TLV3012 or similar 3.3-V comparators instead.
How is the LATCH ENABLE function implemented in TL3016CPWR?
The LATCH ENABLE pin (Pin 8) is a CMOS-level digital control input. When driven high (≥2 V), it freezes the Q and Q̅ outputs at their current logic states; when low (≤0.8 V), outputs respond dynamically to input changes. No internal pull-up exists, so a defined logic source or resistor network must drive this pin - floating causes undefined output behavior.
Is TL3016CPWR pin-compatible with LT1016 in TSSOP-8?
No - the LT1016 is only available in DIP-8 and SOIC-8 packages. There is no LT1016 variant in TSSOP-8. TL3016CPWR is a functional (not pin-for-pin) replacement for LT1016 in SOIC-8 (TL3016CD), but TL3016CPWR uses a different pinout optimized for TSSOP layout - specifically, VCC− and GND positions differ between PW and D packages per TI package drawings.
