Product details
Overview
TLV1812QDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade dual-channel rail-to-rail input comparator with push-pull output, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), operating from 2.4V to 40V supply, consuming only 5μA per channel, and delivering 420ns typical propagation delay. It integrates Power-On Reset (POR) for deterministic startup and is used in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring circuits where supply voltage stability and fast response to overvoltage/undervoltage conditions are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1812QDGKRQ1 datasheet, TLV1812QDGKRQ1 pinout, TLV1812QDGKRQ1 application, or TLV1812QDGKRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 40V absolute maximum supply rating, rail-to-rail input range extending 200mV beyond rails, push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4mA, POR threshold at 1.7V, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV1812QDGKRQ1 implements a dual independent comparator architecture with separate IN1±/IN2± inputs and OUT1/OUT2 outputs, each featuring internal biasing and dedicated POR circuitry ensuring both channels enter a known high-impedance or defined logic state during supply ramp-up. Its rail-to-rail input stage uses ESD clamps referenced to V− and V+, limiting valid common-mode range to (V−) − 0.2V to (V+) + 0.2V.
As a push-pull device, TLV1812QDGKRQ1 drives outputs actively high and low without external pull-ups; output swing is specified as ≤250mV from V− (sinking) and ≤250mV from V+ (sourcing) at 4mA load across temperature. Input offset voltage is ±0.5mV typ (±4mV max over temp), and PSRR is 100dB - enabling stable operation in noisy 12V/24V/48V automotive battery domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.4V to 40V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank (≈6V) and load-dump (up to 40V) transients without external regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 5μA per channel - enables always-on monitoring in battery-sensitive systems like body control modules with negligible standby drain. |
| Propagation Delay | 420ns typical (at 100mV overdrive, CL = 50pF) - provides sub-microsecond response for real-time fault detection in motor control or DC-DC converter feedback loops. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV typical (±4mV max, –40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision voltage supervision applications such as battery cell balancing or sensor signal conditioning. |
| Power-On Reset Threshold | 1.7V - guarantees output remains in known state until supply stabilizes above functional minimum, preventing false triggers during ignition sequencing. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Range | (V−) − 0.2V to (V+) + 0.2V - allows direct interfacing with sensors or dividers operating near supply rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive Capability | Sinks/sources ≥4mA - directly drives LEDs, small MOSFET gates, or logic inputs without external buffers in compact automotive subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 package (3.00mm × 3.00mm body, 0.65mm pitch); thermally enhanced with exposed die pad connected directly to V− for improved power dissipation in automotive under-hood environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Push-pull output of comparator 1 - actively drives high/low; must not be wired in parallel with other outputs. |
| 2 | IN1− | Inverting input of comparator 1 - accepts signals down to 0.2V below V−; requires current limiting if driven beyond supply rails. |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 1 - same rail-to-rail range as IN1−; unused channels must be biased with ≥50mV differential voltage. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply terminal and thermal pad connection point - all internal ESD clamps reference this node; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 2 - electrically identical to IN1+; supports independent dual-threshold sensing (e.g., high/low battery warning). |
| 6 | IN2− | Inverting input of comparator 2 - paired with IN2+ for second independent comparison function. |
| 7 | OUT2 | Push-pull output of comparator 2 - fully independent of OUT1; enables dual-fault reporting (e.g., overvoltage AND undervoltage flags). |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts up to 40V; internal POR circuit monitors this pin to determine valid operating voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient, meeting automotive powertrain and chassis system reliability requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1822QDGKRQ1 | Open-drain output instead of push-pull; supports 40V pull-up independent of supply voltage. | Required when output must interface with higher-voltage logic (e.g., 24V CAN transceiver enable) or perform wired-OR functions. | Choose TLV1822QDGKRQ1 only if open-drain functionality is needed; TLV1812QDGKRQ1 is preferred for direct logic-level interfacing or LED driving. |
| LM2903QDRQ1 | Higher quiescent current (800μA vs. 5μA), slower propagation delay (1.5μs min), no POR, wider offset (±7mV). | Suitable for cost-sensitive non-always-on applications where micro-power and precise startup timing are not required. | LM2903QDRQ1 offers legacy pin compatibility but lacks TLV1812QDGKRQ1's micro-power operation, rail-to-rail inputs, and POR - use only when upgrading existing LM2903 designs with relaxed specs. |
Compared with TLV1822QDGKRQ1, TLV1812QDGKRQ1 provides active high-drive capability essential for direct MCU interfacing, while LM2903QDRQ1 trades performance for cost and availability in less demanding automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for TLV1812QDGKRQ1?
The TLV1812QDGKRQ1 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ to V−) of 42V, with recommended operating range from 2.4V to 40V. This 40V operating ceiling allows direct integration into 24V commercial vehicle systems and withstands ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients without external protection, making TLV1812QDGKRQ1 suitable for under-hood powertrain applications where transient robustness is critical.
Does TLV1812QDGKRQ1 include Power-On Reset (POR), and what is its threshold?
Yes, TLV1812QDGKRQ1 integrates a dedicated Power-On Reset circuit with a nominal threshold of 1.7V on the V+ pin. This ensures both comparator outputs remain in a known state - neither floating nor oscillating - until the supply reaches functional voltage, preventing erroneous signals during engine cranking or battery reconnection. The POR feature is inherent to TLV1812QDGKRQ1 and requires no external components.
Can TLV1812QDGKRQ1 drive a MOSFET gate directly?
Yes, TLV1812QDGKRQ1's push-pull output can source and sink ≥4mA, enabling direct drive of small-signal MOSFET gates (e.g., SiC or GaN driver enable inputs) without external buffers. Its 250mV VOL/VOH specification at 4mA ensures clean logic-level transitions. However, for high-capacitance gates (>1nF), external gate resistors may be needed to control slew rate and prevent ringing - a capability unique to TLV1812QDGKRQ1 among micro-power comparators.
What is the input voltage range specification for TLV1812QDGKRQ1?
TLV1812QDGKRQ1 features true rail-to-rail inputs with a common-mode range from (V−) − 0.2V to (V+) + 0.2V. This allows direct connection to sensors, resistive dividers, or battery terminals without level-shifting circuitry. Input overvoltage beyond these limits must be current-limited to ≤10mA due to internal ESD clamps - a design constraint explicitly defined for TLV1812QDGKRQ1 in its absolute maximum ratings table.
Is TLV1812QDGKRQ1 pin-compatible with any legacy comparators?
No, TLV1812QDGKRQ1 is not pin-compatible with standard SOIC-8 or TSSOP-8 dual comparators like LM2903 or TLC372 due to its VSSOP-8 footprint (3.0mm × 3.0mm) and specific pin mapping (e.g., V− on pin 4, exposed thermal pad). However, it shares functional equivalence with TLV1812-Q1 variants - TLV1812QDGKRQ1 is the AEC-Q100 qualified version optimized for automotive use, with identical pinout and electrical behavior as non-automotive TLV1812IDGKR.
