Product details
Overview
TLV3201AIDBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 40ns propagation delay, microPOWER comparator with push-pull output, rail-to-rail inputs extending 200mV beyond supply rails, 1mV input offset voltage, and 40µA quiescent current per channel. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V across –40°C to 125°C and is used in high-speed sampling systems and portable communications for precise threshold detection.
For engineers reviewing the TLV3201AIDBVR datasheet, TLV3201AIDBVR pinout, TLV3201AIDBVR application, or TLV3201AIDBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay vs. supply current trade-off, input common-mode range beyond rails, push-pull drive capability, and SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV3201AIDBVR implements a high-speed, low-power comparator core with internal 1.2mV hysteresis for noise immunity and no phase inversion when inputs exceed supply rails. Its input stage uses ESD-protected back-to-back diodes with 1kΩ series resistors to clamp overvoltage transients.
It features rail-to-rail input operation with common-mode range from (VEE – 0.2V) to (VCC + 0.2V), and a push-pull output capable of sourcing up to 60mA and sinking up to 48mA at VCC = 5V, enabling direct interfacing with logic families without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation delay | 40ns typical at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF - enables sub-25MHz signal edge detection in timing-critical circuits. |
| Quiescent current | 40µA per channel at TA = 25°C - supports battery-powered operation for >10-year shelf life in low-duty-cycle sensing. |
| Input offset voltage | 1mV max at TA = 25°C - ensures accurate threshold setting within ±1mV error for precision zero-cross or level-detection applications. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V logic, and 5V legacy systems without level-shifting. |
| Input common-mode range | Extends 200mV beyond either rail - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or VCC in AC-coupled or biased configurations. |
| Output type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and provides full-rail swing (VOH ≤ 170mV below VCC, VOL ≤ 225mV above GND at 125°C). |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and telecom infrastructure environments. |
Pinout & Package
TLV3201AIDBVR is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with 2.90mm × 1.60mm body size, optimized for automated placement and thermal performance (RθJA = 237.8°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Comparator output | Push-pull digital output driving TTL/CMOS loads directly; sinks up to 48mA, sources up to 60mA at VCC = 5V. |
| IN– (Pin 2) | Inverting input | Differential input node with 1013Ω || 4pF impedance; accepts voltages from –0.2V to VCC + 0.2V without phase inversion. |
| IN+ (Pin 3) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node with identical specs to IN–; used for threshold reference or signal input depending on configuration. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Negative supply | Reference return path for both input and output stages; must be low-impedance to maintain 40ns timing accuracy. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Positive supply | Single-supply input supporting 2.7–5.5V; powers internal biasing, output stage, and ESD protection network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input with 200mV beyond-rail tolerance | Enables direct interface with sensors or signals operating outside supply rails-e.g., ±100mV ground-offset AC signals in cable diagnostics. |
| 40ns propagation delay at 40µA supply current | Delivers best-in-class speed/power ratio for portable test equipment where battery life and response time are co-optimized. |
| 1.2mV internal hysteresis | Reduces false triggering from noise without requiring external feedback resistors-simplifies layout in EMI-prone industrial enclosures. |
| ESD-protected inputs (±2000V HBM) | Withstands handling and board-level transients without external TVS, reducing BOM count in field-deployable instrumentation. |
| Push-pull output with 60mA sourcing capability | Drives LEDs, small relays, or logic gates directly-eliminates external driver stages in compact PLC I/O modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3201AIDCKR | Identical electrical specs; packaged in 5-pin SC70 (2.00mm × 1.25mm) - 30% smaller footprint than DBV. | Preferred for ultra-dense layouts where board area is constrained more than thermal budget. | Select TLV3201AIDCKR when PCB real estate is critical and RθJA = 281.9°C/W is acceptable. |
| LMV7235M5X | 75ns propagation delay, 65µA IQ, open-drain output, same 2.7–5.5V supply - slower but higher drive strength (IOH/IOL = 100mA). | Suitable where external pull-up is acceptable and higher sink current is needed for legacy logic families. | Choose LMV7235M5X only if push-pull is unnecessary and open-drain flexibility (e.g., wired-OR bus) is required. |
Compared with TLV3201AIDBVR, TLV3201AIDCKR offers identical performance in a smaller package for area-sensitive designs, while LMV7235M5X trades speed and power for open-drain versatility and higher output current - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load TLV3201AIDBVR can drive while maintaining 40ns propagation delay?
The TLV3201AIDBVR maintains specified 40ns propagation delay up to 15pF capacitive load at VCC = 5V and input overdrive = 100mV. At 50pF, delay increases to ~55ns (per Figure 6-24). For loads >20pF, add a series resistor (e.g., 10–50Ω) near the output to damp ringing and preserve timing integrity in TLV3201AIDBVR-based designs.
Does TLV3201AIDBVR support dual-supply operation?
Yes, TLV3201AIDBVR supports dual-supply operation from ±1.35V to ±2.75V, as specified in Section 6.3. The device functions identically with split supplies, retaining rail-to-rail input range relative to its local VEE and VCC rails. This makes TLV3201AIDBVR suitable for bipolar signal conditioning in audio or sensor front-ends where ground-referenced inputs are required.
Can TLV3201AIDBVR inputs safely exceed the supply rails, and by how much?
Yes, TLV3201AIDBVR inputs are rated to operate 200mV beyond either supply rail (VEE – 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V) without phase inversion or damage. Input pins include ESD diodes that conduct if voltage exceeds rails by ~300mV; sustained overvoltage beyond ±0.2V requires current limiting to ≤10mA via series resistors to protect TLV3201AIDBVR's input stage.
What is the output voltage swing specification for TLV3201AIDBVR at 125°C?
At TA = 125°C and VCC = 5V, TLV3201AIDBVR guarantees VOH ≥ VCC – 170mV (i.e., ≥4.83V) and VOL ≤ 225mV when sourcing/sinking 4mA. These values ensure reliable CMOS/TTL logic interfacing across the full industrial temperature range, confirmed in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics of the TLV3201AIDBVR datasheet.
Is TLV3201AIDBVR pin-compatible with any dual-channel comparators in the same family?
No, TLV3201AIDBVR is a single-channel device in 5-pin SOT-23 and is not pin-compatible with dual-channel TLV3202 variants (8-pin SOIC/VSSOP). Pin count, pinout, and package dimensions differ fundamentally. Migration from TLV3201AIDBVR to TLV3202 requires PCB redesign; however, electrical behavior (propagation delay, supply current, offset) is matched between channels for system scalability.
