Product details
Overview
TLV1812QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 dual-channel automotive comparator with push-pull output, rail-to-rail input (–0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V), 420 ns typical propagation delay at 12 V, 5 µA per channel quiescent current, and integrated Power-On Reset (POR) for deterministic startup. It operates across 2.4 V to 40 V supply range and is used in HEV/EV powertrain voltage monitoring and body control module window lift detection.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1812QDRQ1 datasheet, TLV1812QDRQ1 pinout, TLV1812QDRQ1 application, or TLV1812QDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V absolute max rating, dual-channel push-pull drive capability, –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, POR functionality, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with automotive PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
The TLV1812QDRQ1 implements a dual independent comparator core with rail-to-rail input stage enabling full-supply-range sensing, and a push-pull output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 250 mV and VOH ≤ 250 mV (vs. V+). Its internal POR circuit asserts a known output state until V+ reaches ≥1.7 V, preventing false triggering during system power-up/down sequences.
Each channel features low input offset voltage (±0.5 mV typ, ±4 mV max over temperature), ultra-low input bias current (150 fA typ), and high PSRR (100 dB), supporting precision threshold detection in noisy 12 V/24 V/42 V automotive subsystems without external filtering or trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 40 V - supports direct connection to battery rails (12 V, 24 V, 42 V) without pre-regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 5 µA per channel - enables always-on monitoring in low-power vehicle modules (e.g., door open detection) |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns (low-to-high, 100 mV overdrive, CL = 50 pF) - suitable for fast-response fault detection in motor control feedback loops |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5 mV (typ), ±4 mV (max, –40°C to +125°C) - ensures <10 mV total error in 1% resistor-divider threshold circuits |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or battery negative in mixed-voltage systems |
| Power-On Reset Threshold | 1.7 V - guarantees stable output state during cold-crank (≥6 V) and slow-battery-rise conditions |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets AEC-Q100-002 for robustness in assembly and field environments |
Pinout & Package
TLV1812QDRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm body size and standard lead pitch. The exposed thermal pad is absent in this variant (non-WSON).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 (Pin 1) | Comparator 1 output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking/sourcing ≥4 mA; no external pull-up required |
| IN1– (Pin 2) | Inverting input, Channel 1 | Rail-to-rail input node; accepts signals from –0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V |
| IN1+ (Pin 3) | Non-inverting input, Channel 1 | Same rail-to-rail range as IN1–; differential input voltage limited to ±40 V |
| V– (Pin 4) | Negative supply | System ground or battery negative; all inputs and outputs referenced to this node |
| IN2+ (Pin 5) | Non-inverting input, Channel 2 | Independent second channel input; identical specs and range to IN1+/IN1– |
| IN2– (Pin 6) | Inverting input, Channel 2 | Enables dual-threshold or window-comparator configurations without external components |
| OUT2 (Pin 7) | Comparator 2 output | Functionally identical to OUT1; supports redundant sensing or multi-condition logic |
| V+ (Pin 8) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.4 V–40 V; powers both comparators and internal POR circuit |
Key Features

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+ | Required when interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains (e.g., 24 V CAN transceiver enable lines) | Select TLV1822QDRQ1 only if level translation or wired-OR functionality is needed; otherwise TLV1812QDRQ1 reduces component count. |
| LM393QPWRQ1 | Higher quiescent current (200 µA vs. 5 µA), slower propagation (1.3 µs), no POR, wider offset (±2 mV) | Suitable for non-safety-critical, cost-sensitive applications where low power and precise startup are not required | Choose LM393QPWRQ1 only for legacy designs or where existing qualification data suffices; TLV1812QDRQ1 offers superior performance in new automotive platforms. |
Compared with TLV1822QDRQ1, TLV1812QDRQ1 eliminates external pull-ups and simplifies PCB routing; compared with LM393QPWRQ1, it delivers 40× lower supply current, 3× faster response, and guaranteed POR behavior-critical for ASIL-B subsystems requiring deterministic initialization.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the TLV1812QDRQ1 can withstand?
The TLV1812QDRQ1 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 12 V, 24 V, and 42 V automotive battery systems including load-dump transient conditions. Exceeding 42 V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the TLV1812QDRQ1 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No. The TLV1812QDRQ1 features a push-pull output stage on both channels, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. Each output can source and sink ≥4 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 250 mV and VOH ≤ 250 mV (vs. V+), enabling direct drive of LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic inputs without additional components.
How does the Power-On Reset (POR) function in the TLV1812QDRQ1 improve system reliability?
The TLV1812QDRQ1 incorporates an internal POR circuit that holds both outputs in a known state until V+ reaches ≥1.7 V. This prevents false triggering during slow power ramps (e.g., cold-crank) or brown-out conditions, ensuring deterministic startup in safety-critical applications like battery disconnect control or window anti-pinch logic.
Can the TLV1812QDRQ1 inputs be driven beyond the supply rails?
No. The TLV1812QDRQ1 rail-to-rail inputs are specified for –0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V. Input voltages exceeding these limits risk forward-biasing internal ESD clamps, potentially causing excessive current flow. TI recommends limiting input current to ≤1 mA using series resistors if overvoltage exposure is possible.
What package options are available for the TLV1812QDRQ1 besides SOIC-8?
The TLV1812QDRQ1 is offered exclusively in the 8-pin SOIC (D) package per TI's official orderable addendum. Alternate packages such as TSSOP-8, VSSOP-8, SOT-23-8, and WSON-8 are available for other members of the TLV18xx-Q1 family (e.g., TLV1812IDRQ1, TLV1812QDGKRQ1), but TLV1812QDRQ1 is SOIC-8 only.
