Product details
Overview
TLC352IPWG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual CMOS voltage comparator with open-drain outputs, designed for low-power, single- or dual-supply operation across 2.7V–18V. It delivers 5 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, 5 pA typical input bias current, and 150 µA typical supply current at 5V - enabling precision threshold detection in battery-powered industrial sensors and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLC352IPWG4 datasheet, TLC352IPWG4 pinout, TLC352IPWG4 application, or TLC352IPWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C), rail-to-rail common-mode input capability, TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible open-drain outputs, and pin compatibility with LM393 for drop-in upgrades in legacy comparator designs.
Technical Context
The TLC352IPWG4 integrates two independent high-impedance (10¹² Ω typical) comparators fabricated in CMOS technology, supporting both single-supply (2.7V–18V) and dual-supply configurations where |VDD − VSS| remains within 2.7V–18V. Its input stage operates with ultra-low input bias current (5 pA typ) and includes ESD protection rated at 2000V HBM.
Each comparator features an n-channel open-drain output capable of sinking up to 16 mA at 5V, with logic-level translation enabled by external pull-up voltages up to 16V - independent of the comparator's supply rail. Propagation delay is 200 ns typical (100 mV overdrive, CL = 15 pF), optimized for fast response in overvoltage monitoring and zero-crossing detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 18V - supports direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 5 mV at 25°C - ensures reliable switching accuracy for ±25 mV threshold windows in sensor interface applications. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 5 pA - enables direct connection to high-impedance sources like photodiodes or piezoelectric transducers. |

| Propagation Delay (typ) | 200 ns - suitable for real-time fault detection in motor control feedback loops and power supply sequencing. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground (0V) to VDD − 1.5V - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground or negative rails. |
| Output Configuration | Open-drain - permits wired-AND logic, multi-comparator arbitration, and flexible pull-up to higher voltage domains (up to 16V). |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (D package), 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm × 1.75 mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Open-drain output of Comparator A - requires external pull-up; sinks current when IN+ < IN−. |
| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input of Comparator A - high-impedance node; accepts signals from 0V to VDD − 1.5V. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of Comparator A - same voltage range and impedance as IN− A. |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for both comparators and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance return path. |
| 5 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of Comparator B - electrically isolated from Channel A; identical specs. |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of Comparator B - supports independent threshold configuration per channel. |
| 7 | VDD | Positive supply rail - powers both comparators; accepts 2.7V–18V with no reverse polarity protection. |
| 8 | OUT B | Open-drain output of Comparator B - independently controllable; shares no internal logic with OUT A. |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares sensed bus voltage against two independent thresholds - one for warning flag, one for immediate shutdown signal. Use Value: 5 mV offset and 200 ns propagation delay enable precise, fast-response tripping without false triggers from noise or slow transients. | Use Scenario: Monitors remaining charge in 3.7V Li-ion battery packs used in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares battery voltage against low-voltage cutoff (3.0V) and critical depletion (2.8V) references using resistor dividers. Use Value: 150 µA total supply current extends operational runtime; open-drain outputs interface directly with microcontroller GPIOs or LED drivers. |
| Zero-Crossing Detector | Industrial Temperature Threshold Alarm |
Use Scenario: Identifies AC line zero-crossing points for phase-controlled dimming in smart lighting systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator channel detects crossing of AC waveform through virtual ground; second channel provides hysteresis control. Use Value: Rail-to-rail input range allows direct AC coupling; 5 pA bias current prevents distortion of small-signal transformer outputs. | Use Scenario: Triggers audible/visual alerts when ambient temperature exceeds preset limits in HVAC control panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares thermistor voltage divider output against stable reference voltages set by precision resistors. Use Value: −40°C to 85°C industrial rating ensures reliability in uncontrolled environments; 5 mV offset maintains alarm accuracy across temperature extremes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Bipolar process; 2 mV max offset at 25°C but 250 µA higher supply current (0.8 mA vs. 0.15 mA); no ESD rating specified. | Lower precision offset but faster propagation (1.3 µs vs. 200 ns) - better for high-speed digital edge detection, worse for low-power analog sensing. | Select LM393DR only if speed > 500 ns is required and power budget allows >5× higher current draw. |
| TLC372IDR | Same CMOS process; 3 mV max offset; 75 µA/channel supply current; identical pinout and industrial temp range. | Lower quiescent current and tighter offset - superior for ultra-low-power battery applications where every µA matters. | Choose TLC372IDR when optimizing for lowest possible supply current while retaining full TLC352IPWG4 functionality and footprint. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLC372IDR, the TLC352IPWG4 offers the best balance of low power (150 µA), robust ESD protection (2000V), and proven industrial reliability - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, long-lifecycle embedded systems where parametric stability and handling safety are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the TLC352IPWG4?
The TLC352IPWG4 supports a maximum supply voltage of 18V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance, TI recommends staying within the Recommended Operating Conditions range of 2.7V to 16V - especially under full temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) where 16V is the upper limit.
Does the TLC352IPWG4 have built-in hysteresis?
No, the TLC352IPWG4 does not include internal hysteresis. It is a basic comparator requiring external positive feedback (e.g., resistor network between output and non-inverting input) to implement hysteresis and prevent output chatter near the switching threshold. Application notes SBOA219 and SNOA997 provide verified schematics for both inverting and non-inverting hysteresis configurations compatible with the TLC352IPWG4.
Can the TLC352IPWG4 outputs drive LEDs directly?
Yes, the TLC352IPWG4 open-drain outputs can sink up to 16 mA per channel at 5V, sufficient to drive standard indicator LEDs with appropriate series current-limiting resistors. For example, with a 5V pull-up and red LED (VF ≈ 1.8V), a 220Ω resistor limits current to ~14.5 mA - well within the device's rated sink capability and ensuring reliable turn-on without exceeding VOL specifications.
Is the TLC352IPWG4 pin-compatible with the LM393?
Yes, the TLC352IPWG4 is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible, functionally enhanced replacement for the LM393 in SOIC-8 packages. Both share identical pin assignments (OUT A, IN− A, IN+ A, GND, IN+ B, IN− B, VDD, OUT B), allowing direct substitution in existing layouts. However, the TLC352IPWG4 adds CMOS advantages: lower supply current, higher input impedance, and integrated ESD protection - with no PCB changes required.
What is the operating temperature range of the TLC352IPWG4?
The TLC352IPWG4 is characterized for operation across the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This rating is confirmed in the Device Information table and Recommended Operating Conditions section of the official datasheet. All electrical specifications - including input offset voltage, supply current, and propagation delay - are guaranteed across this full range, making the TLC352IPWG4 suitable for deployment in harsh environmental conditions.
