Product details
Overview
TLV1391IDBVT 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 precision voltage monitoring and overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1391IDBVT datasheet, TLV1391IDBVT pinout, TLV1391IDBVT application, or TLV1391IDBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature grade, SOT-23-5 package, open-collector output with 20 mA sink capability, input offset voltage ≤9 mV over full temperature range, and compatibility with 3-V/5-V logic interfaces.
Technical Context
The TLV1391IDBVT implements a bipolar comparator core with 26 transistors, 1 resistor, 4 diodes, and 1 Epi-FET, enabling fast propagation delay and stable operation across low supply voltages. 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 wired-OR logic interfacing.
Designed as a direct upgrade to LM393 in modern 3-V/5-V systems, it delivers improved speed and lower quiescent current without requiring external biasing or level-shifting circuitry - making it suitable for battery-powered sensing and real-time threshold detection where power and response time are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 7 V - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.7 V) or dual-AA (3.0 V) supplies without regulation. |
| Response Time | 0.7 µs typ at 3 V - supports detection of fast transients in power supply sequencing or fault monitoring. |
| Supply Current | 80 µA typ, 150 µA max - reduces standby power in always-on sensor nodes and portable equipment. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤9 mV over −40°C to 85°C - ensures consistent trip-point accuracy across industrial temperature range. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC−2 V - accepts ground-referenced inputs and supports high-side sensing with appropriate resistive dividers. |
| Output Sink Current | 20 mA max - drives LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic inputs directly without external buffer stages. |
| Input Bias Current | −400 nA max - minimizes loading error in high-impedance voltage divider networks. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm body, gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1, lead finish NiPdAu/Sn.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; referenced against IN+ to determine output state. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power return path and common-mode reference for inputs and output stage. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting Input | Differential input node; higher potential than IN− forces output high (open-collector pulled up). |
| 4 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Single supply rail (2–7 V); powers internal bias and output transistor. |
| 5 (OUT) | Open-Collector Output | Active-low output; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and drive strength. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Operation | Functional down to 2 V supply - eliminates need for LDO pre-regulation in energy-constrained systems. |

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 operation | Used in legacy 12-V industrial controls; less suitable for <3.6-V battery systems | Select when wide supply range and cost are primary; avoid for low-power or fast-response needs. |
| TLV7011DBVR | CMOS input (pA bias), lower ICC (380 nA), slower response (2.5 µs), same SOT-23-5 package | Preferred for ultra-low-power sensor wake-up circuits where speed is secondary to current draw | Choose for nanowatt standby modes; not recommended for sub-microsecond timing-critical paths. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV7011DBVR, the TLV1391IDBVT uniquely balances microamp-level supply current, sub-microsecond speed, and guaranteed 3-V functionality - making it optimal for next-generation portable and industrial edge devices requiring both efficiency and responsiveness.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for TLV1391IDBVT?
The TLV1391IDBVT is rated for industrial operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the "recommended operating conditions" table of the official datasheet (SLCS128F, Rev. June 2007), and applies to all electrical characteristics including input offset voltage, response time, and supply current across the full range. The "I" suffix in TLV1391IDBVT explicitly denotes this industrial-grade qualification.
Does TLV1391IDBVT have an internal voltage reference?
No, the TLV1391IDBVT does not include an internal voltage reference. It is a standalone differential comparator requiring external reference voltages applied to its IN+ and IN− inputs. The device's rail-to-rail input range (0 V to VCC−2 V) allows direct connection to precision external references such as TLV431 or resistor-divider networks without level-shifting circuitry.
Can TLV1391IDBVT drive a MOSFET gate directly?
Yes, TLV1391IDBVT can drive a low-threshold MOSFET gate directly via its open-collector output. With a 20 mA maximum sink current and compatible pull-up to VCC or another logic rail, it provides sufficient current to charge/discharge gate capacitance of small-signal MOSFETs (e.g., 2N7002, DMN2004) in switching applications like load switches or LED drivers - provided gate voltage requirements fall within the selected pull-up rail.
Is TLV1391IDBVT pin-compatible with LM393?
No, TLV1391IDBVT is not pin-compatible with LM393. The LM393 uses an 8-pin SOIC or PDIP package with dual comparators, while TLV1391IDBVT is a single comparator in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package. Pin mapping differs entirely: TLV1391IDBVT uses pins 1–5 for IN−, GND, IN+, VCC, OUT; LM393 has separate inputs/outputs per channel and shared VCC/GND. Board redesign is required for substitution.
What is the maximum capacitive load TLV1391IDBVT can drive reliably?
The TLV1391IDBVT is characterized with CL = 15 pF in its switching specifications (response time tested at 15 pF). While not explicitly rated for higher loads, stability and response time degrade with increasing capacitance due to output stage limitations. For reliable operation beyond 15 pF, add a series resistor (e.g., 100 Ω) between OUT and the load to isolate capacitance and prevent ringing - especially when driving long PCB traces or logic inputs with high input capacitance.
