Product details
Overview
TLV1812QPWRQ1 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 circuits where low-power, high-voltage tolerance, and reliable power-up behavior are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1812QPWRQ1 datasheet, TLV1812QPWRQ1 pinout, TLV1812QPWRQ1 application, or TLV1812QPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel push-pull architecture, –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, 500 µV max input offset voltage, open-drain compatibility via external pull-up, and functional safety documentation support for ISO 26262 system design.
Technical Context
The TLV1812QPWRQ1 implements a rail-to-rail input stage with internal ESD clamps referenced to V− and V+, enabling operation with input signals extending 200 mV beyond either supply rail. Its push-pull output stage actively sources and sinks current-capable of driving MOSFET gates or LEDs without external pull-ups-while maintaining 250 mV VOL and VOH at 4 mA load over full temperature range.
Power-On Reset ensures the output remains latched in a known state until V+ reaches ≥1.7 V, eliminating false triggering during system ramp-up or brownout conditions. The device's 40 V absolute maximum supply rating and 420 ns propagation delay at 100 mV overdrive are validated across 2.4 V–40 V supply and –40°C to +125°C ambient, with thermal metrics optimized for TSSOP-8 (PW) package (RθJA = 187.5°C/W).
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, and 42 V automotive battery rails without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 5 µA per channel - enables always-on monitoring in low-power vehicle subsystems (e.g., battery disconnect detection). |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns (typ) at 100 mV overdrive, CL = 50 pF - provides fast response for overvoltage/undervoltage fault detection in powertrain control. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5 mV (typ), ±4 mV (max, –40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate threshold comparison in precision sensing applications like cell-balancing monitors. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V - allows direct interface with unbuffered battery taps or shunt-based current sense amplifiers. |
| Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors, reduces board space, and enables direct LED/MOSFET gate drive. |
| POR Threshold | 1.7 V - guarantees stable output assertion only after sufficient supply stabilization, preventing spurious wake-up in start-stop systems. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, exposed thermal pad connected directly to V− pin for improved thermal performance in automotive under-hood environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Comparator 1 output | Push-pull active driver - sinks/sourses current; must not be wired to another output or shorted to V+ or V−. |
| IN1− | Inverting input, channel 1 | Differential input node - accepts signals down to 0.2 V below V−; clamp-limited to prevent ESD damage if overdriven. |
| IN1+ | Non-inverting input, channel 1 | Differential input node - supports rail-to-rail common-mode range; requires ≥50 mV differential if unused to avoid chatter. |
| V− | Negative supply | Reference return for inputs, outputs, and thermal pad - all internal biasing and ESD protection reference this node. |
| IN2+ | Non-inverting input, channel 2 | Independent comparator input - identical electrical specs to IN1+; usable for redundant sensing or dual-threshold logic. |
| IN2− | Inverting input, channel 2 | Independent comparator input - supports same rail-to-rail range and noise immunity as IN1−. |
| OUT2 | Comparator 2 output | Second independent push-pull output - enables dual-fault detection (e.g., high-side + low-side overvoltage). |
| V+ | Positive supply | Main power rail input - supports up to 40 V; powers internal bias, POR, and output stage; connects to battery or regulated rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input with 200 mV overvoltage margin | Enables direct connection to unregulated battery nodes without level-shifting or external clamping diodes. |
| Integrated Power-On Reset (POR) | Guarantees output remains in defined state until V+ ≥ 1.7 V, eliminating false triggers during cold-cranking or ignition cycles. |
| 40 V absolute maximum supply rating | Withstands load-dump transients up to 42 V without damage, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements when properly decoupled. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2 kV, CDM ±1 kV - suitable for engine bay and powertrain ECUs. |
| Functional safety documentation support | Includes FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage guidance for ASIL-B system integration per ISO 26262. |
Applications
| HEV/EV Battery Management | Automotive Body Control Module |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1822QPWRQ1 | Open-drain output instead of push-pull; identical supply range, quiescent current, and propagation delay. | Requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion; supports voltage-level translation up to 40 V independent of V+. | Select when interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains or implementing wired-OR fault buses. |
| LM393QPWRQ1 | Higher quiescent current (200 µA vs. 5 µA), slower propagation (1.3 µs), no POR, and no rail-to-rail input. | Limited to lower-speed, non-critical monitoring; unsuitable for battery-sensitive or fast-fault applications. | Choose only for legacy cost-sensitive designs where power and speed are secondary to part familiarity. |
Compared with TLV1812QPWRQ1, TLV1822QPWRQ1 offers output flexibility at the cost of external component dependency, while LM393QPWRQ1 trades significant power and speed penalties for broader legacy availability-neither is pin-compatible, requiring PCB layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the TLV1812QPWRQ1 can withstand?
The TLV1812QPWRQ1 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ to V−) of 42 V. It is rated for continuous operation up to 40 V and designed to survive automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 when properly decoupled. Exceeding 42 V risks permanent damage to internal ESD structures and output transistors.
Does the TLV1812QPWRQ1 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the TLV1812QPWRQ1 features a push-pull output stage that actively sources and sinks current, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This reduces component count and board space-especially valuable in compact automotive modules-while enabling direct drive of LEDs or MOSFET gates without additional passive components.
How does the Power-On Reset (POR) function in the TLV1812QPWRQ1 improve system reliability?
The TLV1812QPWRQ1's POR circuit holds both outputs in a known state until V+ reaches ≥1.7 V, preventing false logic transitions during power-up, cold cranking, or brownout conditions. This ensures deterministic behavior in safety-critical automotive functions such as battery disconnect control or engine start validation-where spurious outputs could trigger unintended actions.
Can the TLV1812QPWRQ1 interface directly with a 48 V battery system?
No-the TLV1812QPWRQ1's absolute maximum supply rating is 42 V, and recommended operating range is 2.4 V to 40 V. Direct connection to a nominal 48 V system exceeds these limits and risks device failure. For 48 V architectures, use a pre-regulator or select a higher-voltage comparator such as the TLV1812QPWRQ1's successor family with 65 V rating.
Is the TLV1812QPWRQ1 pin-compatible with standard industry dual comparators like LM393?
No, the TLV1812QPWRQ1 uses a proprietary TSSOP-8 pinout optimized for automotive thermal and noise performance-not pin-compatible with LM393 or other legacy dual comparators. Its pin mapping (e.g., V− on Pin 4, OUT1 on Pin 1) differs fundamentally, requiring dedicated PCB layout and cannot serve as a drop-in replacement without redesign.
