Product details
Overview
TLV1391CDBV from Texas Instruments is a single high-speed differential comparator optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation (2 V to 7 V), featuring 0.7 µs typical response time at 3 V, 80 µA typical supply current, rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground, and SOT-23-5 package - used in precision voltage monitoring and level-shifting circuits in battery-powered sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1391CDBV datasheet, TLV1391CDBV pinout, TLV1391CDBV application, or TLV1391CDBV equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage (≤5 mV typ), output drive capability (±500 µA), operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and compatibility with 3-V/5-V logic systems requiring fast, low-power analog decision-making.
Technical Context
The TLV1391CDBV implements a bipolar comparator core with enhanced speed and low-voltage performance over legacy LM393 designs. It supports rail-to-rail input operation down to ground and delivers TTL-compatible open-collector output with 20 mA absolute maximum sink current.
Its internal architecture includes 26 transistors, 1 resistor, 4 diodes, and 1 Epi-FET, enabling stable operation across 2 V–7 V supply while maintaining sub-millivolt input offset and nanosecond-scale propagation delay under 5-mV overdrive conditions.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Power Sequencing Controller |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring lithium-ion cell voltage during charging/discharging to trigger cutoff or alert thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-supply comparator detecting when cell voltage crosses 4.2 V (full) or 3.0 V (low). Use Value: Enables precise, low-power state-of-charge indication without burdening battery with regulator overhead. |
Use Scenario: Enabling downstream subsystems only after primary power rails stabilize within tolerance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparing monitored rail voltage against reference to generate enable signal with <1 µs latency. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or initialization failure in FPGAs and microcontrollers by enforcing strict power-up order. |
| Overcurrent Detection Circuit | Optical Sensor Threshold Detector |
|
Use Scenario: Converting shunt resistor voltage drop into digital flag when load current exceeds safe limit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed comparator comparing sense voltage to precision reference with minimal propagation delay. Use Value: Delivers 0.7 µs response to fault condition - faster than most MCU ADC-based detection methods. |
Use Scenario: Detecting presence/absence of IR light in proximity or ambient light sensing modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential comparator rejecting common-mode noise from photodiode amplifier output. Use Value: Improves false-trigger immunity in noisy environments due to inherent CMRR and rail-to-rail input headroom. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher supply current (500 µA typ), slower response (1.3 µs), wider VCC range (2–36 V), no ground-inclusive input range. | Preferred in high-voltage industrial systems where speed and ultra-low power are secondary to robustness. | Choose LM393DR only if operating above 7 V or requiring higher output drive; not suitable for 3-V battery systems. |
| TLV7211CDBVR | CMOS input stage (pA bias current), 1.8-V min supply, 1.5 µs response, rail-to-rail output, but no open-collector output. | Better for high-impedance sensor interfaces and ultra-low-power wake-up circuits needing push-pull output. | Choose TLV7211CDBVR when input bias current <1 pA is critical or when push-pull output eliminates pull-up resistor. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV7211CDBVR, the TLV1391CDBV uniquely balances sub-µs speed, 80-µA quiescent current, and open-collector output in a 2-V–7-V supply envelope - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated comparators where fast, low-power, logic-compatible sinking is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV1391CDBV?
The TLV1391CDBV has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of 7 V. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, TI specifies recommended VCC between 2 V and 7 V, with full electrical characterization at 3 V and 5 V. The TLV1391CDBV must never be operated above 7 V, even momentarily, to ensure long-term reliability and avoid junction breakdown.
Does TLV1391CDBV support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the TLV1391CDBV supports a common-mode input voltage range that includes ground and extends up to VCC−2 V. This allows direct connection of sensors or signal sources referenced to ground without level-shifting circuitry. At 3 V supply, the valid input range is 0 V to 1.0 V; at 5 V, it is 0 V to 3.0 V - confirmed across full temperature range per datasheet Section 6.3.
What is the output configuration of TLV1391CDBV?
The TLV1391CDBV features an open-collector output (Pin 5), requiring an external pull-up resistor to define the high logic level. It can sink up to 20 mA continuously, with 500 µA guaranteed minimum sink current at VOL ≤ 300 mV. This configuration enables wired-OR logic, level translation, and direct LED driving - a key distinction from push-pull output comparators like TLV7211.
Is TLV1391CDBV pin-compatible with LM393?
No, TLV1391CDBV is not pin-compatible with LM393. The TLV1391CDBV uses a 5-pin SOT-23 package (IN−, GND, IN+, VCC, OUT), whereas LM393 uses an 8-pin SOIC or PDIP package with dual comparators and different pin assignments. While TLV1391CDBV is positioned as a functional upgrade for single-comparator use cases, PCB layout changes are required for replacement.
What is the typical input offset voltage of TLV1391CDBV at room temperature?
The TLV1391CDBV has a typical input offset voltage of 1.5 mV and a maximum of 5 mV at 25°C, as specified in the "Electrical Characteristics" table for VCC = 3 V and VCC = 5 V. This low offset enables accurate threshold detection in precision applications such as battery end-of-charge monitoring or reference voltage validation, where errors below 10 mV are critical.
