Product details
Overview
TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive push-pull output comparator with integrated 1.242V voltage reference, 3.1μA maximum quiescent current, 2µs typical propagation delay, and fail-safe inputs enabling operation with V+ unpowered. It supports 1.65V to 5.5V supply and is used in battery management systems for precise low-power voltage threshold detection.
For engineers reviewing the TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 datasheet, TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 pinout, TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 application, or TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade reliability, integrated reference accuracy (±1.5%), built-in 6mV hysteresis, power-on-reset timing (1.9ms), and SC-70-6 package footprint compatibility with space-constrained vehicle electronics.
Technical Context
The TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 implements a rail-to-rail input comparator core with push-pull output stage capable of sourcing and sinking up to 0.5mA, eliminating external pull-up resistors. Its integrated 1.242V series reference provides stable output with ≤100ppm/°C drift and supports up to 10nF capacitive load.
Fail-safe inputs tolerate 0V to 5.5V independent of V+, resolving power sequencing issues during cold-cranking or wake-up events. Power-on-reset asserts low output for 1.9ms during V+ ramp-up, ensuring deterministic startup before reference stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - enables direct connection to Li-ion single-cell or automotive 3.3V/5V rails without regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 3.1μA max - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems like toll tags or asset trackers |
| Reference Voltage | 1.242V ±1.5% - provides accurate, temperature-stable threshold for precision overvoltage/undervoltage detection |
| Propagation Delay | 2µs to 4µs (typ) - ensures rapid fault response in safety-critical BMS monitoring loops |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V– – 0.2V to V+ + 0.2V - supports sensing beyond supply rails for wide-dynamic-range sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3012QDBVRQ1 | SOT-23-6 package (2.9mm × 2.8mm); same electrical specs but larger footprint | Better thermal performance (RθJA = 162.5°C/W vs 169.8°C/W) - preferred for high-ambient-temperature locations | Select when board layout allows larger package and thermal margin is prioritized over size |
| LMV331Q1MG/NOPB | No integrated reference; 1.8V–5.5V supply; 25μA IQ; open-drain only | Requires external reference and pull-up; higher current draw limits use in ultra-low-power wake-up circuits | Select when reference is already available elsewhere in system and cost is primary constraint |
Compared with TLV3012QDBVRQ1 and LMV331Q1MG/NOPB, TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 delivers the smallest footprint, lowest quiescent current, and integrated reference - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained automotive modules where reference accuracy and startup reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for TLV3012BQDCKRQ1?
The TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 operates down to 1.65V, enabling direct interface with partially discharged Li-ion cells or low-voltage automotive domains. This is a key differentiator from non-"B" versions (1.8V min) and supports extended runtime in battery-powered vehicle modules. The 1.65V threshold is guaranteed across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Does TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 require an external pull-up resistor?
No, TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 features a push-pull output that actively drives both high and low states, eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. This reduces BOM count, saves PCB area, and avoids power loss associated with pull-up current - especially beneficial in always-on automotive circuits where every microamp matters.
How does the power-on-reset (POR) function in TLV3012BQDCKRQ1?
The TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 POR circuit holds the output low for 1.9ms after V+ crosses the 1.65V threshold during power-up, ensuring deterministic behavior before the internal 1.242V reference stabilizes. This prevents spurious fault assertions in battery management systems during cold-start sequences where supply voltage ramps slowly.
What is the accuracy and temperature drift of the integrated reference in TLV3012BQDCKRQ1?
The TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 integrates a 1.242V series reference with ±1.5% initial accuracy and ≤100ppm/°C maximum temperature drift over –40°C to +125°C. This enables precise voltage thresholding without calibration, critical for meeting ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety requirements in automotive BMS applications.
Can TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 inputs operate when V+ is unpowered?
Yes, TLV3012BQDCKRQ1 features fail-safe inputs rated for 0V to 5.5V independent of V+ voltage. This allows the device to monitor external signals (e.g., battery voltage) during vehicle sleep mode when main supply is off, supporting wake-up functionality without power sequencing constraints - a requirement for modern low-power automotive ECUs.
