Overview
TLV1391CDBVTE4 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, 80 µA typical supply current, and rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground - used in precision voltage monitoring and battery-powered sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1391CDBVTE4 datasheet, TLV1391CDBVTE4 pinout, TLV1391CDBVTE4 application, or TLV1391CDBVTE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT-23-5 package details, functional role in overvoltage detection and zero-crossing circuits, and two validated alternative comparators with documented parameter differences.
Technical Context
The TLV1391CDBVTE4 employs a bipolar process architecture enabling fast propagation delay and stable operation at 3-V and 5-V supplies. Its open-collector output supports wired-OR logic and level-shifting interfaces, while the input stage accepts common-mode voltages down to ground - critical for direct connection to single-ended sensors.
It operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature, with fully specified performance at both 3 V and 5 V. Input offset voltage is 1.5–5 mV (typ), and low-level output voltage is 120–300 mV at 500 µA sink current - ensuring reliable TTL/CMOS logic interfacing without external pull-ups in many configurations.

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Motor Overcurrent Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Detecting cell under-voltage (<2.8 V) or over-voltage (>4.3 V) in 1S Li-ion packs using resistive divider inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator configured as high-side or low-side threshold detector with hysteresis; output drives enable/disable logic or MCU interrupt. Use Value: Enables precise, low-power battery cutoff without microcontroller intervention - critical for safety-critical portable electronics. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring shunt voltage across motor driver to trigger shutdown when current exceeds 5 A threshold. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response comparator comparing shunt voltage to precision reference; output directly gates gate driver disable line. Use Value: 0.7 µs response ensures motor FETs turn off before fault current reaches destructive levels - improves system reliability. |
| Zero-Crossing Detector | Power Sequencing Supervisor |
|
Use Scenario: Converting AC line waveform into clean digital zero-crossing pulses for TRIAC dimming or synchronous rectification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential comparator with AC-coupled input and hysteresis; output toggles on each polarity transition crossing ground. Use Value: Ground-inclusive input range allows direct AC coupling without DC biasing components - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
Use Scenario: Validating correct ramp-up order of multiple supply rails (e.g., 1.2 V before 3.3 V) in FPGA or SoC power systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multiple TLV1391CDBVTE4 units monitor individual rail voltages; outputs feed AND logic to generate global "power good" signal. Use Value: Open-collector outputs allow simple wired-OR combination - avoids need for additional logic gates or supervisor ICs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Slower response (1.3 µs typ), higher ICC (500 µA typ), wider VCC range (2–36 V), no guaranteed 3-V spec. | Acceptable in non-critical timing apps (e.g., basic LED indicators); unsuitable for <1 µs response or <100 µA power budgets. | Select LM393DR only if legacy design reuse or wide-supply tolerance (>15 V) is required - not for new ultra-low-power designs. |
| TLC3702CDR | CMOS input (pA bias), lower ICC (20 µA typ), but slower (2.5 µs typ), no 3-V characterization, limited sink current (4 mA). | Better for high-impedance sensor inputs; inadequate for driving heavy loads or fast switching in power control loops. | Choose TLC3702CDR when input bias must be <100 pA and speed is secondary - avoid where <1 µs response or 500 µA sink is needed. |
Compared with TLV1391CDBVTE4, LM393DR trades speed and quiescent current for ruggedness and voltage range, while TLC3702CDR sacrifices speed and output drive for ultra-low input bias - making TLV1391CDBVTE4 the optimal balance for modern 3-V/5-V embedded comparator needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV1391CDBVTE4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TLV1391CDBVTE4 is 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 - making it ideal for standard logic rails and single-cell battery systems.
Does TLV1391CDBVTE4 support rail-to-rail input operation?
TLV1391CDBVTE4 supports a common-mode input voltage range from 0 V to VCC−2 V, which includes ground but does not extend to the positive rail. This allows direct interfacing with ground-referenced signals (e.g., current-sense amplifiers or resistive sensors) without level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage over comparators requiring input bias above ground.
What is the output configuration of TLV1391CDBVTE4 and how should it be used?
TLV1391CDBVTE4 features an open-collector output (pin 5). It actively sinks current when triggered but presents high impedance when inactive - requiring an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level. This configuration enables wired-OR logic, level translation, and flexible interface with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, or 5-V digital systems.
Is TLV1391CDBVTE4 suitable for use in battery-powered applications?
Yes, TLV1391CDBVTE4 is highly suitable for battery-powered applications due to its 80 µA typical supply current and operation down to 2 V. Its low ICC and ground-inclusive input range allow direct integration into coin-cell or Li-ion systems for functions like low-battery warning, charger enable/disable, or sensor wake-up - extending operational lifetime without compromising response time.
How does the response time of TLV1391CDBVTE4 vary with supply voltage?
TLV1391CDBVTE4 response time improves slightly with higher supply voltage: 0.7 µs typical at 3 V, 0.65 µs at 5 V (100-mV step, 5-mV overdrive). This voltage-dependent speed enhancement supports tighter timing margins in 5-V systems while maintaining robust sub-microsecond performance at 3 V - critical for consistent behavior across mixed-rail designs.
