Product details
Overview
TLV1391CDBVRE4 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, and rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground - used in battery-powered voltage monitoring and precision threshold detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1391CDBVRE4 datasheet, TLV1391CDBVRE4 pinout, TLV1391CDBVRE4 application, or TLV1391CDBVRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage (≤5 mV typ), output drive capability (±500 µA), thermal performance (θJA = 206°C/W), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV1391CDBVRE4 employs a bipolar process architecture enabling fast propagation delay and stable operation across 2–7 V supply rails. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to ground and up to VCC − 2 V, while the open-collector output allows flexible pull-up configuration and direct interfacing with TTL/CMOS logic.
Designed as a drop-in upgrade to LM393 in 3-V/5-V systems, it delivers improved speed (0.65 µs typ at 5 V) and lower quiescent current without requiring external biasing or level-shifting circuitry - critical for portable instrumentation and power management subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 7 V - enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.7 V) or dual-AA (3 V) supplies without regulation. |
| Response Time | 0.7 µs typ at 3 V - supports real-time overvoltage/undervoltage fault detection in DC-DC converters and battery protection ICs. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV max at 25°C - ensures accurate 10-mV-level threshold sensing in precision analog front-ends. |
| Supply Current | 150 µA max over full temperature range - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and IoT endpoint devices. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC − 2 V - permits direct connection to ground-referenced signals and rail-sensing applications without attenuators. |
| Output Sink Current | 500 µA min at VOL = 300 mV - drives standard 10-kΩ pull-up resistors to 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels reliably. |
| Ambient Temp Range | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and industrial HMI interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, 1.45 mm max height, lead-free NiPdAu finish, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting input | Differential reference node; accepts signal below threshold for active-low output assertion. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Power return path and input common-mode baseline; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Signal input node; compared against IN− to determine output polarity and state transition. |
| 4 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single supply rail (2–7 V); powers internal biasing and output stage; decoupling capacitor required. |
| 5 (OUT) | Open-collector output | Active-low output requiring external pull-up; compatible with 1.8 V to 5 V logic families via resistor selection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 2 V supply - eliminates need for LDO pre-regulation in energy-harvesting and coin-cell systems. |
| Rail-to-rail input range | Includes ground and extends to VCC − 2 V - simplifies sensor interface design by removing input biasing networks. |
| High-speed response | 0.65 µs typ at 5 V - meets timing requirements for fast-switching power supply feedback loops and motor stall detection. |
| Low quiescent current | 80 µA typ at 3 V - reduces standby power in battery-backed real-time clocks and supervisory circuits. |
| Industry-standard pinout | Matches LM393 footprint in SOT-23-5 - enables drop-in replacement without PCB redesign in legacy designs. |

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) | Preferred in high-voltage industrial controls where speed and power efficiency are secondary to ruggedness | Select LM393DR only when operating above 7 V or requiring extended temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) with same package |
| TLV7211IDBVR | Lower supply current (35 µA typ), rail-to-rail output, but slower (1.2 µs) and narrower VCC (1.8–5.5 V) | Better suited for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where output drive strength is less critical than battery longevity | Choose TLV7211IDBVR when system supply is ≤5.5 V and sub-50-µA quiescent current is mandatory |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV7211IDBVR, the TLV1391CDBVRE4 uniquely balances speed (0.7 µs), low power (80 µA), and wide supply range (2–7 V) in a compact SOT-23-5 package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3-V/5-V embedded systems requiring fast, reliable threshold decisions.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV1391CDBVRE4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TLV1391CDBVRE4 is 7 V. Exceeding this value may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2 V to 7 V, with full electrical specifications guaranteed at both 3 V and 5 V supply conditions per the datasheet. Operation at 7 V is permissible only under controlled thermal conditions and with proper decoupling.
Does TLV1391CDBVRE4 support ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, TLV1391CDBVRE4 supports ground-referenced inputs: its common-mode input voltage range includes 0 V (ground) and extends up to VCC − 2 V. This allows direct connection of single-ended signals referenced to system ground without level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage over comparators requiring input biasing above ground.
What is the output configuration of TLV1391CDBVRE4 and how should it be used?
TLV1391CDBVRE4 features an open-collector output (pin 5). It requires an external pull-up resistor to a logic-compatible voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). This configuration enables wired-OR logic, mixed-voltage interfacing, and direct connection to microcontroller interrupt pins. Do not leave the output floating; typical pull-up values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on speed and drive requirements.
How does TLV1391CDBVRE4 compare to LM393 in terms of power consumption and speed?
TLV1391CDBVRE4 consumes 80 µA typical supply current - less than 20% of LM393's 500 µA typical - and achieves 0.7 µs response time at 3 V, nearly twice as fast as LM393's 1.3 µs. Both share SOT-23-5 pinout, making TLV1391CDBVRE4 a true drop-in upgrade for 3-V/5-V systems where power and speed are critical.
Is TLV1391CDBVRE4 RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, TLV1391CDBVRE4 is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and rated MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life). It ships in tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units per reel) with Q3 pin-1 orientation, conforming to JEDEC MO-178 standards. Full compliance documentation is available through TI's Quality & Environmental page.
