Product details
Overview
TLV1812DR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, 40V rail-to-rail input comparator with push-pull output, operating from 2.4V to 40V supply, featuring 5 μA per channel quiescent current, 420 ns typical propagation delay, and Power-On Reset (POR) for deterministic startup in motor drive voltage monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1812DR datasheet, TLV1812DR pinout, TLV1812DR application, or TLV1812DR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOIC-8 package mapping, functional safety–capable architecture, and real-world implementation guidance for industrial control and automotive power management designs.
Technical Context
The TLV1812DR implements two independent high-voltage comparators with rail-to-rail inputs spanning (V−) − 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V and internal POR circuitry that holds outputs low for ≤200 μs until supply reaches ≥2.4 V. Its push-pull stage sources/sinks up to 30 mA short-circuit current while maintaining 250 mV VOL/VOH at 4 mA load across −40°C to +125°C.
Unlike open-drain variants (TLV1822), TLV1812DR eliminates external pull-up resistors and supports direct LED/MOSFET gate driving. Input bias current is 150 fA typical, offset voltage is ±0.5 mV at 25°C with ±4 mV max over temperature, and PSRR is 100 dB - enabling precision threshold detection in noisy 24V/40V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 40 V - supports direct connection to 24V industrial rails and 40V battery systems without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 5 μA per channel - enables always-on monitoring in low-power IoT edge nodes and battery-backed controllers. |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns typical at 100 mV overdrive - provides fast response for overvoltage/undervoltage fault detection in motor drives. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5 mV (25°C), ±4 mV (−40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate 10 mV-level threshold sensing in precision reference circuits. |
| Output Type | Push-pull - drives capacitive loads (e.g., MOSFET gates) directly; no external pull-up required; supports bidirectional current flow. |
| Power-On Reset | Holds OUT1/OUT2 low ≤200 μs until V+ ≥2.4 V - prevents false triggering during system power-up/power-down sequences. |

Pinout & Package
TLV1812DR is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm, with exposed thermal pad connected directly to V− for enhanced thermal performance in continuous-duty applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Push-pull output of comparator 1 - sinks/sourses current; must not be wired to another output or supply rail. |
| 2 | IN1− | Inverting input of comparator 1 - accepts signals from (V−) − 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V; requires ≥50 mV differential if unused. |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 1 - rail-to-rail capable; ESD clamped to V− and weakly to V+ via 5 kΩ resistor. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply - connects to system ground or negative rail; thermal pad must be soldered to this node. |
| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 2 - electrically identical to IN1+; supports independent dual-threshold detection. |
| 6 | IN2− | Inverting input of comparator 2 - used for differential sensing or single-ended reference comparison. |
| 7 | OUT2 | Push-pull output of comparator 2 - fully independent of OUT1; shares same V+ and V− supply connections. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply - accepts 2.4 V to 40 V; powers both comparators and internal POR logic. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1822DR | Open-drain output; supports 40V pull-up independent of V+; no sourcing capability. | Required where wired-OR logic or level translation to higher voltage domains (e.g., 24V logic) is needed. | Select TLV1822DR only when external pull-up is acceptable and bidirectional drive is unnecessary. |
| LM393DR | Lower supply range (2V–36V); no POR; 1.3 mV offset; 1.3 μA IQ; open-collector output. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical 5V/12V systems where startup reliability is secondary. | Choose LM393DR only for legacy designs lacking functional safety requirements and where 420 ns speed is not critical. |
Compared with TLV1822DR, TLV1812DR eliminates pull-up resistors and enables direct load driving; compared with LM393DR, it adds POR, tighter offset, lower IQ, and 40V tolerance - making TLV1812DR optimal for new industrial and automotive designs demanding reliability and precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the TLV1812DR can withstand?
The TLV1812DR has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 42 V between V+ and V−. It operates continuously across 2.4 V to 40 V, making it suitable for 24V and 36V industrial rails. Exceeding 42 V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the TLV1812DR require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No. The TLV1812DR features a push-pull output stage that actively sources and sinks current, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This simplifies PCB layout and reduces power loss - unlike open-drain comparators such as TLV1822DR which require external pull-ups.
How does the Power-On Reset (POR) function behave on the TLV1812DR?
The TLV1812DR's POR holds both OUT1 and OUT2 low for ≤200 μs after V+ crosses 2.4 V during power-up, and reactivates if V+ drops below 2.4 V. This prevents false triggers in voltage-monitoring circuits during brown-out or cold-start conditions - a key differentiator versus comparators without integrated POR.
Can the TLV1812DR interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes. When powered from a 3.3V supply, TLV1812DR's push-pull outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to 3.3V), matching standard CMOS logic thresholds. Its 150 fA input bias current avoids loading high-impedance MCU reference pins, and 5 μA supply current minimizes impact on system power budget.
Is the TLV1812DR qualified for automotive applications?
The TLV1812DR is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but it operates across −40°C to +125°C and supports functional safety documentation per ISO 26262. It is widely deployed in automotive battery monitors and body control modules where full qualification is not mandated, though designers must perform their own FMEDA and validation.
