Product details
Overview
TL331BIDBVR from Texas Instruments is a single, open-collector output voltage comparator in SOT-23-5 package, designed for high-voltage industrial and power management systems. It operates from 2 V to 36 V supply, delivers 430 µA quiescent current at 36 V, achieves ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, and responds in 1 µs - enabling precise, fast threshold detection in server PSUs and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the TL331BIDBVR datasheet, TL331BIDBVR pinout, TL331BIDBVR application, or TL331BIDBVR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated SOT-23-5 pin functions, real-world use cases in vacuum robots and cordless tools, and two confirmed alternative comparators with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The TL331BIDBVR uses a PNP Darlington input stage to achieve low input bias current (3.5 nA typ) and rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to ground, while supporting differential inputs up to ±38 V. Its open-collector NPN output sinks up to 18 mA and interfaces directly with TTL, CMOS, and MOS logic via external pull-up.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C, supports dual-supply configurations (ΔVCC = 2–36 V, VCC ≥ VCM + 1.5 V), and features 2 kV HBM ESD protection - making it suitable for noisy, high-temperature environments like factory automation and infotainment clusters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - enables direct integration into 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial power rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±4 mV over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable threshold detection even under thermal stress in motor drives. |
| Quiescent Current | 430 µA at 36 V and full temperature range - supports low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed appliances. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs typical (high-to-low, 5 mV overdrive) - meets timing-critical window-compare requirements in UPS and server PSU fault detection. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA at 25°C - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance reference dividers in precision sensing circuits. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - improves robustness during PCB handling and field deployment in building automation nodes. |
| Differential Input Range | ±38 V - allows direct comparison of signals referenced to different grounds or floating supplies in motor drive feedback loops. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Negative Input (IN–) | Inverting input node; comparator triggers low output when IN– exceeds IN+ by > VIO. |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Reference return for internal bias and output transistor emitter; must be low-impedance for stable operation. |
| 3 | Positive Input (IN+) | Non-inverting input node; used for reference or signal input depending on circuit topology. |
| 4 | Output (OUT) | Open-collector NPN drain; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and sink up to 18 mA. |
| 5 | Power Supply (VCC) | Positive supply rail; supports up to 38 V absolute max, independent of GND reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-ground input common-mode range | Supports sensing signals down to 0 V, enabling direct interface with microcontroller ADC references or ground-referenced sensors. |
| Drop-in replacement for TL331I/K | Pin- and function-compatible with legacy TL331 variants - no PCB or firmware changes required during upgrade. |
| Wired-AND output capability | Multiple TL331BIDBVR outputs can share one pull-up resistor to implement hardware-based priority arbitration or fault bus signaling. |
| Low output saturation voltage | VOL = 400 mV @ 4 mA sink - reduces power loss and heat generation in high-duty-cycle applications like cordless tool battery monitoring. |
| Extended temperature operation | –40°C to +125°C junction range - qualified for under-hood automotive subsystems and industrial motor control enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Wider temp range (–40°C to +85°C only); higher offset (±2 mV typ); 1.3 µs response; 700 µA IQ at 5 V. | Limited to commercial-grade systems; not rated for 125°C operation in motor drives or server hot-spots. | Choose LM393DR only for cost-sensitive, non-extended-temp designs where 1.3 µs delay is acceptable. |
| TL331IDBVR | Same SOT-23-5 package; identical pinout; but rated only to +85°C; ±9 mV max offset; 1.3 µs response; 700 µA IQ at 36 V. | Legacy version lacking B-series improvements - unsuitable for high-reliability, high-temp, or low-offset applications. | TL331IDBVR is a fallback if TL331BIDBVR is unavailable; expect reduced accuracy and thermal margin in demanding deployments. |
Compared with LM393DR and TL331IDBVR, TL331BIDBVR delivers 2.7× lower quiescent current at 36 V, 2.25× faster response, and 2.25× tighter offset control across –40°C to +125°C - making it the sole choice for thermally constrained, high-precision industrial comparators.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TL331BIDBVR?
The TL331BIDBVR has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of 38 V, as specified in Section 5.2 of the official datasheet. This exceeds the 36 V rating of legacy TL331 variants and supports direct connection to 36 V industrial rails with margin. Operation beyond 38 V risks permanent damage; sustained operation above 36 V should include derating analysis per TI's thermal guidelines.
Does TL331BIDBVR support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, TL331BIDBVR supports input common-mode voltage from ground (0 V) up to VCC – 1.5 V, as confirmed in Section 5.8 (VCM specification). This rail-to-ground capability enables direct interface with microcontroller references, sensor outputs, and low-side current-sense amplifiers without external level-shifting circuitry.
Can TL331BIDBVR replace TL331IDBVR without board modifications?
Yes, TL331BIDBVR is a documented drop-in replacement for TL331I and TL331K versions, including TL331IDBVR. It shares identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, pinout, and footprint, and improves upon offset, speed, supply current, and temperature range - all while maintaining full functional and electrical compatibility in existing designs.
What is the typical input bias current of TL331BIDBVR at 25°C?
The typical input bias current of TL331BIDBVR is 3.5 nA at 25°C, as stated in the Family Comparison Table and Section 5.8 Electrical Characteristics. This value reflects the PNP Darlington input architecture and enables use with high-impedance voltage dividers (e.g., >1 MΩ) without significant offset error in precision threshold detection circuits.
Is TL331BIDBVR compatible with TTL, CMOS, and MOS logic families?
Yes, TL331BIDBVR's open-collector output is explicitly rated for compatibility with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic, as noted in the "Features" section of the datasheet. When paired with an appropriate pull-up resistor (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to 5 V), it delivers valid logic-high and logic-low levels meeting standard interface voltage thresholds across all three families.
