Product details
Overview
TLV3201AIDCKT 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 requiring fast, low-power threshold detection.
For engineers reviewing the TLV3201AIDCKT datasheet, TLV3201AIDCKT pinout, TLV3201AIDCKT application, or TLV3201AIDCKT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, SC70-5 package details, functional pin roles, real-world implementation contexts for test equipment and portable communications, and two validated alternative comparators with documented differences.
Technical Context
The TLV3201AIDCKT 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, enabling safe operation with common-mode voltages up to 200mV beyond VCC or GND.
It features a push-pull output capable of sourcing up to 60mA and sinking up to 48mA at 5V, delivering rail-aligned logic-level outputs without external pull-ups. The device remains fully functional only above 2.7V supply and draws ≤65µA over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 40ns typical at 5V, 20mV overdrive, CL = 15pF - enables sub-25MHz sampling decision timing. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA per channel at 25°C - supports battery life >1 year in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1mV max at 25°C - ensures ≤1mV trip-point error in precision threshold detection. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Extends 200mV beyond either rail - allows direct sensing of signals exceeding VCC or below GND. |
| Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and reduces board space/cost. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
Pinout & Package
TLV3201AIDCKT is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) with nominal body size 2.00mm × 1.25mm and thermal resistance RθJA = 281.9°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Output | Push-pull digital output driving high to VCC or low to GND; sinks/sourcing capability supports direct interface to 3.3V/5V logic. |
| IN– (Pin 2) | Negative Input | Inverting input terminal; accepts common-mode voltages from –0.2V to VCC + 0.2V. |
| IN+ (Pin 3) | Positive Input | Non-inverting input terminal; same rail-to-rail +200mV range as IN–. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground | Negative supply reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane for stable operation. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Positive Supply | Single positive supply input; device disabled below 2.7V; ESD-protected against transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input with 200mV beyond-rail tolerance | Enables direct interfacing to sensors or signals operating outside supply domain without clamping or attenuation. |
| Internal 1.2mV hysteresis | Reduces false triggering from noise on slow-moving or noisy input signals without requiring external feedback components. |
| No phase inversion behavior | Maintains correct output polarity even when inputs exceed VCC or drop below GND - critical for robust zero-crossing detection. |
| ESD-protected input structure | Back-to-back diodes + 1kΩ series resistors allow safe handling of ±2000V HBM transients and tolerate momentary 10mA input overcurrent. |
| Low-capacitance push-pull output | Drives 15pF loads with <50ns delay; avoids RC delays and shoot-through current issues seen in open-drain alternatives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3201DBVR | SOT-23-5 package (2.90mm × 1.60mm); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Same functional role; larger footprint may ease hand-soldering or thermal management in high-power layouts. | Select TLV3201DBVR when board layout requires SOT-23 mechanical compatibility or higher thermal dissipation. |
| LMV7235M5X | 75ns propagation delay, 65µA IQ, open-drain output, 2.7V–5.5V supply - slower, higher power, requires pull-up. | Used where logic-level flexibility (e.g., wired-OR bus) outweighs speed/power trade-offs. | Choose LMV7235M5X only if open-drain topology is mandatory; otherwise TLV3201AIDCKT provides superior speed and efficiency. |
Compared with TLV3201DBVR, TLV3201AIDCKT offers identical performance in a smaller SC70 package for space-constrained designs; compared with LMV7235M5X, it delivers 47% faster response and 38% lower quiescent current with integrated push-pull drive eliminating external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load TLV3201AIDCKT can drive while maintaining 40ns propagation delay?
The TLV3201AIDCKT maintains its specified 40ns propagation delay up to 15pF capacitive load at 5V supply and 20mV input overdrive. At 50pF, delay increases to ~55ns; for loads >50pF, external buffer or reduced switching frequency is recommended to avoid timing violations in TLV3201AIDCKT-based designs.
Does TLV3201AIDCKT support dual-supply operation?
Yes, TLV3201AIDCKT supports dual-supply operation from ±1.35V to ±2.75V, as specified in Section 6.3 of the datasheet. When operated with dual supplies, the GND pin becomes the reference node, VCC connects to +VS, and the negative supply connects to the device's ground-referenced circuitry - all functionality remains identical to single-supply mode, including rail-to-rail input range relative to local rails.
Can TLV3201AIDCKT inputs safely exceed the supply rails, and by how much?
Yes, TLV3201AIDCKT inputs are rated to extend 200mV beyond either supply rail (VCC or GND), and its ESD protection diodes tolerate momentary excursions up to ±300mV beyond rails if input current is limited to ≤10mA. This allows direct connection to signals with ground offsets or transient overshoots without external clamping in TLV3201AIDCKT applications.
What is the output voltage swing specification for TLV3201AIDCKT at 3.3V supply?
At VCC = 3.3V and TA = 25°C, TLV3201AIDCKT delivers VOL ≤ 260mV (sinking 4mA) and VOH ≥ 3.04V (sourcing 4mA). Over –40°C to 125°C, worst-case swing is VOL ≤ 325mV and VOH ≥ 2.98V - ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3V CMOS logic families across full temperature range in TLV3201AIDCKT implementations.
Is external hysteresis required when using TLV3201AIDCKT for noisy signal detection?
No - TLV3201AIDCKT integrates 1.2mV of internal hysteresis, sufficient for most moderate-noise applications like PWM monitoring or zero-crossing detection. External hysteresis is only needed when noise amplitude exceeds 1.2mV or when precise, adjustable hysteresis width is required - in which case resistor networks per Figure 8-4/8-5 of the TLV3201AIDCKT datasheet apply.
