Product details
Overview
TLV1812QDDFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade dual-channel rail-to-rail input comparator with push-pull output, qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), 2.4V–40V supply range, 5μA per channel quiescent current, and 420ns typical propagation delay. It integrates Power-On Reset (POR) for deterministic startup and is used in HEV/EV powertrain voltage monitoring and body control module window lift detection.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1812QDDFRQ1 datasheet, TLV1812QDDFRQ1 pinout, TLV1812QDDFRQ1 application, or TLV1812QDDFRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 40V absolute maximum supply rating, rail-to-rail input stage enabling direct battery-sensed signal comparison, push-pull output eliminating external pull-up resistors, and POR functionality preventing false triggering during cold-crank conditions.
Technical Context
The TLV1812QDDFRQ1 implements a dual independent comparator core with separate IN1±/IN2± inputs and OUT1/OUT2 outputs, each featuring internal biasing and rail-to-rail input stages extending from (V−) − 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V. Its push-pull output stage sources/sinks up to 30 mA short-circuit current and delivers 250 mV VOL at 4 mA sink load across full temperature range.
Power-On Reset asserts a known output state until V+ reaches ≥1.7 V, preventing metastability during system boot. The device uses TI's proprietary ESD protection architecture: bidirectional diode clamps on all I/O pins referenced to V+ and V−, with input overvoltage tolerance limited to ±0.2 V beyond rails under normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 40 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V/42 V automotive battery rails without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 7.5 μA per channel at 25°C - enables always-on monitoring in low-power body electronics modules. |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns at 100 mV overdrive, CL = 50 pF - provides fast response for battery cell voltage fault detection. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5 mV typical, ±4 mV max over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision voltage supervisors. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Range | (V−) − 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V - allows direct sensing of signals near ground or supply rails, e.g., battery undervoltage at 0 V reference. |
| Output Type | Push-pull - drives LEDs directly and interfaces with CMOS logic without external pull-up, reducing BOM count. |
| Power-On Reset Threshold | 1.7 V - guarantees stable output assertion before microcontroller initialization completes during cold-crank. |
Pinout & Package
TLV1812QDDFRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin DDF (SOT-23-8) package measuring 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm, with exposed thermal pad connected directly to V− for enhanced thermal performance in high-ambient automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Comparator 1 output | Push-pull driver capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA; connects directly to MCU interrupt pin or LED anode. |
| IN1− | Comparator 1 inverting input | High-impedance node (150 fA bias current); accepts signals down to (V−) − 0.2 V for ground-referenced sensing. |
| IN1+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Matches IN1− characteristics; used with resistor divider for precise voltage threshold setting. |
| V− | Negative supply | Reference for all inputs/outputs; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal reliability. |
| IN2+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent channel input; enables dual-threshold detection (e.g., overvoltage + undervoltage). |
| IN2− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Paired with IN2+; supports differential sensing or independent single-ended monitoring. |
| OUT2 | Comparator 2 output | Electrically isolated from OUT1; drives separate load (e.g., relay driver or second MCU pin). |
| V+ | Positive supply | Accepts up to 40 V; internal POR circuit monitors this pin to enable safe startup sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1822QDRQ1 | Open-drain output instead of push-pull; supports 40 V pull-up independent of V+ supply. | Required where wired-OR bus signaling or level translation to higher-voltage domains (e.g., 24 V CAN transceiver enable) is needed. | Select TLV1822QDRQ1 when interfacing with legacy 5 V logic or driving multiple loads sharing one pull-up; TLV1812QDDFRQ1 is preferred for direct CMOS/MCU interfacing. |
| LM393QPWRQ1 | Higher quiescent current (200 μA vs. 7.5 μA), no POR, wider offset (±2 mV), 36 V max supply. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where ultra-low power and deterministic startup are not required. | Choose LM393QPWRQ1 only for legacy designs or secondary monitoring paths where power budget allows; TLV1812QDDFRQ1 delivers superior accuracy, speed, and functional safety support. |
Compared with TLV1822QDRQ1 and LM393QPWRQ1, TLV1812QDDFRQ1 uniquely combines ultra-low power (7.5 μA), integrated POR, 40 V robustness, and push-pull drive in a space-constrained SOT-23-8 package-making it optimal for ASIL-B–compliant voltage supervision in modern automotive ECUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV1812QDDFRQ1?
The TLV1812QDDFRQ1 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ to V−) of 42 V, with recommended operating range from 2.4 V to 40 V. This enables direct connection to 12 V and 24 V automotive battery rails and withstands common load-dump transients without external protection components.
Does TLV1812QDDFRQ1 include Power-On Reset functionality?
Yes, TLV1812QDDFRQ1 integrates an internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuit that holds both outputs in a known state until the supply voltage V+ reaches ≥1.7 V. This prevents false triggering during cold-crank or battery reconnection events, ensuring deterministic behavior in automotive power-up sequences.
Can TLV1812QDDFRQ1 operate with a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, TLV1812QDDFRQ1 operates from 2.4 V to 40 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V systems. At 3.3 V, it maintains rail-to-rail input capability (–0.2 V to +3.5 V), 420 ns propagation delay, and 7.5 μA quiescent current-ideal for low-voltage domain monitoring in modern automotive domain controllers.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on TLV1812QDDFRQ1?
The exposed thermal pad on TLV1812QDDFRQ1 must be soldered directly to the V− (ground) plane on the PCB. It reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 88.1 °C/W, improving power dissipation capability and long-term reliability in high-ambient-temperature locations such as engine compartments or under-hood ECUs.
How does the push-pull output of TLV1812QDDFRQ1 differ from open-drain comparators?
The push-pull output of TLV1812QDDFRQ1 actively drives both high and low states-sourcing up to 30 mA and sinking up to 30 mA-eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This reduces power loss, improves rise/fall times (<15 ns), and simplifies interface with CMOS inputs, unlike open-drain variants that require external pull-ups and cannot source current.
