Product details
Overview
TL331BQDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive single voltage comparator in SOT-23-5 package, operating from 2V to 36V supply, with 0.37mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5nA typical input bias current, and 1µs typical propagation delay. It serves as a precision level-shifting and threshold-detection element in powertrain monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TL331BQDBVRQ1 datasheet, TL331BQDBVRQ1 pinout, TL331BQDBVRQ1 application, or TL331BQDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade thermal and ESD performance data, SOT-23-5 terminal mapping, and validated drop-in alternatives for HEV/EV body control and infotainment systems.
Technical Context
The TL331BQDBVRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington input stage enabling rail-to-rail input common-mode operation down to ground and up to VCC – 2.0V over –40°C to +125°C. Its open-collector NPN output supports wired-AND logic and TTL/MOS/CMOS interfacing via external pull-up.
It features dedicated ESD protection cells (HBM ±2000V, CDM ±750V) and improved negative input voltage handling versus legacy TL331-Q1. The device achieves 1µs response time with 5mV overdrive at 5V supply and maintains <4mV max offset voltage across full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 36V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive batteries and high-side sensing without level shifters |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±4 mV over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable threshold detection in engine bay temperature extremes |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA at 25°C - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor bridges and resistive divider references |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs typical (high-to-low, 5mV overdrive) - enables fast fault response in battery disconnect and overvoltage protection |
| Quiescent Current | 330 µA typical at 5V - sustains low-power operation in always-on vehicle modules |
| Differential Input Range | ±36 V - allows direct comparison of signals referenced to different potentials, e.g., isolated CAN bus monitoring |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for under-hood electronics assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), surface-mount, thermally enhanced for automotive under-hood use. Pin 1 = IN–, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = IN+, Pin 4 = OUT, Pin 5 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN– (Pin 1) | Negative input | Comparator inverting input; accepts signals down to –0.3V (with current limiting) and up to VCC – 2.0V |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal bias and output sink current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| IN+ (Pin 3) | Positive input | Comparator non-inverting input; shares same common-mode range and ESD robustness as IN– |
| OUT (Pin 4) | Open-collector output | NPN transistor emitter grounded, collector exposed - requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and sink up to 20mA |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Power supply | Single-supply input rated –0.3V to 38V absolute max; powers internal bias, input stage, and output transistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL331QDBVRQ1 | Same SOT-23-5 package; higher 0.7mA quiescent current; ±9mV max offset voltage; identical Grade 1 temp range | Acceptable where lower precision and higher supply current are tolerable, e.g., non-critical status indicators | Select TL331QDBVRQ1 only if cost sensitivity outweighs offset and current advantages of TL331BQDBVRQ1 |
| LM393BQDRQ1 | Dual-channel; 0.5µA typical input bias; ±1mV max offset; 1.3µs propagation delay; SOIC-8 package | Preferred for dual-threshold designs (e.g., window comparators) or PCBs with SOIC footprints and space for larger package | Choose LM393BQDRQ1 when dual functionality or superior offset spec justifies extra channel and footprint size |
Compared with TL331QDBVRQ1, TL331BQDBVRQ1 delivers 44% lower quiescent current and 55% tighter offset tolerance-critical for always-on battery monitoring. Versus LM393BQDRQ1, it offers smaller SOT-23 footprint and single-channel optimization but trades off dual functionality and slightly slower response.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for TL331BQDBVRQ1?
The TL331BQDBVRQ1 has a maximum operating virtual junction temperature of +150°C, with recommended ambient operating range of –40°C to +125°C per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. This enables deployment in under-hood locations near engines or inverters where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Can TL331BQDBVRQ1 replace TL331IDBVRQ1 or TL331QDBVRQ1 on existing PCBs?
Yes, TL331BQDBVRQ1 is specified as a drop-in replacement for both TL331IDBVRQ1 and TL331QDBVRQ1, sharing identical SOT-23-5 pinout, footprint, and voltage ratings. No PCB changes are required, though its lower offset and supply current may improve system accuracy and efficiency.
Does TL331BQDBVRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
TL331BQDBVRQ1 is designed for single-supply operation but can function with dual supplies if the difference between VCC and GND is 2V to 36V and VCC is at least 1.5V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. Dual-supply use is uncommon and not optimized in layout or characterization.
What is the output configuration of TL331BQDBVRQ1 and how should it be interfaced?
TL331BQDBVRQ1 features an open-collector NPN output (Pin 4). It must be used with an external pull-up resistor to a logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). This configuration enables wired-AND logic, level translation, and compatibility with TTL, MOS, and CMOS inputs across varying supply domains.
How does the input common-mode range of TL331BQDBVRQ1 compare to standard op-amps?
TL331BQDBVRQ1 supports input voltages from ground (–0.3V absolute min) up to VCC – 2.0V across –40°C to +125°C. Unlike many op-amps, it does not require input signals to stay within the supply rails - enabling direct interface with sensors referenced to battery ground or floating sources without clamping diodes.
