Product details
Overview
TLC354CPWR from Texas Instruments is a LinCMOS™ quadruple differential comparator IC designed for single- or dual-supply operation across 1.4 V to 18 V. It features four independent open-drain comparators with 5 pA typical input bias current, 10¹² Ω typical input impedance, and 5 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C - enabling precision low-power threshold detection in battery-powered sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLC354CPWR datasheet, TLC354CPWR pinout, TLC354CPWR application, or TLC354CPWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-14 package, 300 µA supply current at 5 V, ultrastable offset drift (0.23 µV/month), rail-to-rail common-mode input range including ground, and TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs.
Technical Context
The TLC354CPWR implements four independent high-impedance voltage comparators using LinCMOS™ process technology, supporting both single-supply (1.4–18 V) and dual-supply operation (with ≥1.4 V total differential). Each comparator has n-channel open-drain output, requiring external pull-up for logic-level translation.
Its input stage delivers 10¹² Ω typical input impedance and 5 pA typical input bias current, enabling direct interfacing with high-impedance sources like photodiodes or precision voltage dividers. The device is characterized for 0°C to 70°C operation and offers built-in ESD protection rated at 2000 V per MIL-STD-833C Method 3015.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Industrial Threshold Detector |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charging/discharging to trigger cutoff or alert. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator performs simultaneous under-voltage lockout (UVLO), over-voltage protection (OVP), and charge-state flag generation. Use Value: 1.4 V minimum supply enables direct operation from partially discharged cells; 5 pA input bias prevents loading of high-resistance divider networks. | Use Scenario: Detecting out-of-tolerance analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four independent comparators implement redundant fault windows and status flags for safety-critical inputs. Use Value: Rail-to-rail common-mode input range (including ground) allows direct connection to 0–10 V industrial sensors without level-shifting. |
| Power Supply Sequencing Controller | Optical Smoke Detector Interface |
Use Scenario: Verifying correct startup order and stable voltage levels across multiple rails in FPGA or ASIC power systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each comparator monitors one supply rail against a precision reference to assert enable/disable signals. Use Value: Open-drain outputs allow wired-AND of multiple "OK" signals into a single system reset line without additional logic gates. | Use Scenario: Converting weak photocurrent from smoke chamber IR detectors into clean digital alarm pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator amplifies and compares filtered detector signal against adjustable threshold; others handle self-test and ambient compensation. Use Value: 10¹² Ω input impedance preserves signal integrity from high-impedance photodiode; low IDD extends battery life in standalone units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Higher input bias current (25 nA typ), wider supply range (2–36 V), no guaranteed 1.4 V operation. | Less suitable for sub-2 V battery monitoring; better for industrial 24 V systems. | Select LM339DR only when operating above 2 V or requiring higher supply voltage tolerance. |
| TLC3704CDR | CMOS push-pull outputs (no external pull-up needed), lower IDD (20 µA typ), but higher VIO (10 mV max). | Eliminates pull-up resistors but sacrifices offset accuracy; not pin-compatible. | Choose TLC3704CDR when board space or power budget favors integrated outputs and ±5 mV offset is acceptable. |
Compared with LM339DR and TLC3704CDR, the TLC354CPWR uniquely balances ultra-low supply voltage (1.4 V), femtoampere-level input bias, and LM339 pin compatibility - making it optimal for portable, precision, and legacy-replacement designs where power and signal integrity are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for the TLC354CPWR?
The TLC354CPWR operates down to 1.4 V, enabling direct use with partially discharged alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion batteries. This specification is validated across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range and is a key differentiator versus standard bipolar comparators like the LM339, which require ≥2 V. The 1.4 V capability is achieved via LinCMOS™ process optimization and verified in the recommended operating conditions table of the SLCS116B datasheet.
Does the TLC354CPWR require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the TLC354CPWR features n-channel open-drain outputs (pins 3, 7, 10, 14), so each output must be pulled up to a logic-compatible voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) via an external resistor. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on speed and drive strength requirements. This architecture enables wired-AND logic and mixed-voltage interfacing - a core functional trait confirmed in the device description and absolute maximum ratings sections of the datasheet.
Is the TLC354CPWR pin-compatible with the LM339?
Yes, the TLC354CPWR is explicitly pin-compatible with the LM339, sharing identical pin assignments for all 14 terminals including VDD (pin 4), GND (pin 13), and the four comparator input/output pairs. This compatibility is stated in the device description ("Pin-Compatible With LM339") and verified by the top-view package diagram labeled "D, N, OR PW PACKAGE (TOP VIEW)" showing matching pin numbering. No PCB redesign is required for drop-in replacement.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the TLC354CPWR at room temperature?
The TLC354CPWR has a maximum input offset voltage of 5 mV at 25°C, with typical performance at 2 mV. This value is specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" tables for VDD = 1.4 V and VDD = 5 V, and applies to the TLC354C grade (0°C to 70°C), which includes the TLC354CPWR. The datasheet further confirms that this limit ensures output states exceed 1.25 V or fall below 150 mV under defined test conditions with a 10-kΩ pull-up.
Can the TLC354CPWR operate from dual power supplies?
Yes, the TLC354CPWR supports dual-supply operation provided the total differential voltage between VDD (pin 4) and VDD–/GND (pin 13) remains within 1.4 V to 18 V. For example, it can function with +5 V and –3 V supplies (8 V total), or ±9 V (18 V total). This flexibility is documented in the "description" section and "recommended operating conditions" table, where supply voltage is defined as VDD regardless of reference point - confirming true dual-supply capability beyond single-rail biasing.
