Overview
TL331QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive single voltage comparator in SOT-23-5 package, operating from 2V to 36V supply, with 0.43mA typical supply current, ±0.37mV typical input offset voltage, and 1µs typical propagation delay. It delivers open-collector output compatible with TTL/MOS/CMOS logic and supports ground-sensing inputs for battery monitoring and overvoltage detection in powertrain control units.
For engineers reviewing the TL331QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TL331QDBVRQ1 pinout, TL331QDBVRQ1 application, or TL331QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade operating limits (–40°C to +125°C), and real-world design implications for wired-AND interfacing, level-shifting, and fault-detection circuits.
Technical Context
The TL331QDBVRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington pair input stage enabling high gain, low input bias current (3.5nA typ), and rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground. Its open-collector NPN output stage sinks up to 18mA and requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion.
It operates across 2V–36V single-supply or dual-supply configurations (ΔV ≥ 2V, VCC ≥ VCM + 1.5V), with differential input voltage tolerance of ±36V and dedicated ESD protection cells meeting AEC-Q100 HBM ±2000V and CDM ±750V requirements.
Key Specifications
