Product details
Overview
TLC352IP from Texas Instruments is a dual CMOS voltage comparator with open-drain outputs, designed for low-power industrial sensing and threshold-detection circuits operating from 2.7V to 16V supply. It delivers 5 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, 5 pA typical input bias current, and 200 ns typical propagation delay at 5V, enabling precision battery-powered monitoring in motor control feedback and power-supply sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the TLC352IP datasheet, TLC352IP pinout, TLC352IP application, or TLC352IP equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature rating, PDIP-8 package compatibility with through-hole prototyping, open-drain output flexibility for wired-AND logic and level translation, and direct functional alignment with LM393-based designs requiring lower input bias current and wider supply range.
Technical Context
The TLC352IP integrates two independent high-impedance (10¹² Ω typical) comparators on a single CMOS die, each featuring rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground and ESD protection rated at 2000 V. Its input stage avoids phase inversion across the full specified input voltage range, supporting stable operation in slow-moving analog signals like thermistor or potentiometer interfaces.
Each comparator output is an n-channel open-drain structure capable of sinking up to 16 mA at 5V, with VOL ≤ 400 mV under 4 mA load. The device draws only 150 µA typical total supply current at 5V, making it suitable for always-on monitoring nodes where quiescent power must remain below 1 mW.
Key Specifications

| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input of Comparator A - accepts common-mode voltages from GND to VDD − 1.5V |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of Comparator A - high-impedance node (10¹² Ω) for precision reference or sensor interface |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for both comparators and supply return - must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of Comparator B - electrically isolated from Channel A; same high-Z behavior |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of Comparator B - supports independent threshold setting per channel |
| 7 | OUT B | Open-drain output of Comparator B - can be wire-OR'd with OUT A or other open-drain outputs |
| 8 | VDD | Positive supply rail - powers both comparators; no internal regulation; accepts 2.7V–16V DC |

Use Scenario: Detecting low-battery condition (<3.0V) and over-voltage warning (>4.3V) in portable test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLC352IP compares battery voltage against two stable references to drive LED indicators and MCU interrupt lines. Use Value: 150 µA total supply current extends runtime in always-on monitoring mode; 5 pA input bias prevents loading of high-resistance voltage dividers. |
Use Scenario: Converting analog outputs from RTD or strain-gauge bridges into digital status flags for PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator channels detect bridge imbalance beyond ±10 mV thresholds, generating fault or alarm signals. Use Value: Rail-to-rail input range accommodates unbuffered bridge outputs referenced to system GND; 10¹² Ω input impedance eliminates gain error from sensor source impedance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher input bias current (25 nA), wider offset (7 mV max), no guaranteed operation below 2.7V | Lower cost but unsuitable for ultra-high-Z sensors or sub-3V battery systems | Select LM393DR only when budget constraints outweigh precision and low-voltage needs |
| TLC372CP | Same CMOS architecture, identical pinout, but rated only for 0°C to 70°C commercial range | Lacks industrial temperature qualification; not recommended for factory-floor or outdoor deployments | Choose TLC372CP only for lab-grade or consumer-grade products with controlled ambient conditions |
Compared with LM393DR and TLC372CP, the TLC352IP uniquely combines industrial temperature range, picoampere input bias, and guaranteed 2.7V operation-making it the only option among the three qualified for battery-powered industrial edge sensors requiring long-term stability and wide supply tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TLC352IP?
The TLC352IP supports a maximum supply voltage of 16 V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Absolute maximum rating is 18 V, but sustained operation above 16 V may compromise reliability or parametric performance. Designers should maintain VDD ≤16 V for continuous use in industrial applications where thermal margin is critical.
Does the TLC352IP require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the TLC352IP features open-drain outputs that require external pull-up resistors to define the high logic state. TI recommends selecting pull-up values between 10 kΩ and 1 MΩ depending on rise-time and power trade-offs; for example, a 10 kΩ resistor yields ~100 ns rise time with 15 pF load, while a 100 kΩ resistor reduces current draw but increases rise time proportionally.
Can the TLC352IP operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the TLC352IP is fully specified for operation from 2.7V to 16V single supply. At 3.3V, it maintains 5 mV max input offset voltage, 200 ns typical propagation delay, and 150 µA typical supply current - making it ideal for low-voltage embedded systems such as portable instrumentation and IoT sensor nodes where power efficiency is essential.
Is the TLC352IP pin-compatible with the LM393?
Yes, the TLC352IP shares identical pin configuration and function mapping with the LM393 in PDIP-8 packaging. This allows direct PCB replacement in existing LM393 designs, delivering improved input bias current (5 pA vs. 25 nA), lower supply current (150 µA vs. 500 µA), and extended supply range (2.7V–16V vs. 2V–36V with degraded specs below 5V).
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the TLC352IP?
The TLC352IP supports a common-mode input voltage range from GND to VDD − 1.5 V over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. At 5V supply, this translates to 0 V to 3.5 V; at 12V, it extends to 0 V to 10.5 V. This rail-to-ground capability enables direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors without level-shifting circuitry.
