Product details
Overview
TLV3402CDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel nanopower open-drain comparator with 470 nA per channel supply current, rail-to-rail input range (–0.1 V to VCC + 5 V), and operation across 2.5 V to 16 V supply. It features reverse battery protection up to 18 V and is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It serves as a low-power threshold detector in battery-critical systems such as portable medical sensors and wireless security nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TLV3402CDRG4 datasheet, TLV3402CDRG4 pinout, TLV3402CDRG4 application, or TLV3402CDRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include ultra-low quiescent current, extended common-mode input beyond VCC, open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage logic, and VSSOP-8 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV3402CDRG4 implements a CMOS input stage with differential pair architecture optimized for sub-µA biasing, enabling stable operation down to 2.5 V while maintaining 250 µV typical input offset voltage. Its open-drain output stage requires external pull-up and supports level-shifting across voltage domains.
Input common-mode range extends –0.1 V below ground and up to 5 V above VCC, allowing direct sensing of signals exceeding the supply rail-critical for high-side voltage monitoring and reverse-polarity protected systems. Propagation delay is overdrive-dependent: 55 µs (low-to-high) and 30 µs (high-to-low) at 50 mV overdrive with 1 MΩ pull-up and 10 pF load.

| 3 | 1IN+ | Noninverting input for channel 1 - used with reference or sensor signal for threshold comparison |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 5 | 2IN+ | Noninverting input for channel 2 - independent of channel 1 for dual-threshold or window detection |
| 6 | 2IN– | Inverting input for channel 2 - supports differential or single-ended sensing per channel |
| 7 | 2OUT | Open-drain output for channel 2 - electrically isolated from 1OUT; enables separate logic domains |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply pin - decoupling capacitor (0.01 µF ceramic + 10 µF electrolytic) required per layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3402IDGKR | Same electrical specs; I-suffix industrial grade (–40°C to +125°C) with identical VSSOP-8 package and pinout | No functional difference - suitable for same designs requiring full industrial temp range | Select TLV3402IDGKR if guaranteed operation at –40°C is required; TLV3402CDRG4 is C-suffix (0°C to +70°C) but often operates beyond spec in practice |
| TLV7012DRYR | Lower supply current (350 nA), smaller X2SON-8 package (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm), but narrower input range (to VCC only, no VCC + 5 V) | Lacks rail-exceeding input capability - unsuitable for high-side sensing or reverse-battery scenarios | Choose TLV7012DRYR only when board space is critical and input signals remain within 0 V to VCC; TLV3402CDRG4 remains preferred for robustness and flexibility |
Compared with TLV3402IDGKR, TLV3402CDRG4 offers identical functionality at commercial temperature grade, reducing cost where ambient conditions permit; versus TLV7012DRYR, it trades slightly higher current for essential VCC+5 V input tolerance and proven industrial reliability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TLV3402CDRG4?
The TLV3402CDRG4 is a C-suffix device rated for 0°C to +70°C operation per its official specifications. While many units function reliably beyond this range, design-critical applications requiring guaranteed performance at –40°C or +125°C should select the I-suffix variant TLV3402IDGKR. The TLV3402CDRG4 datasheet confirms its recommended operating conditions and thermal metrics for the commercial grade.
Does the TLV3402CDRG4 support inputs above the positive supply rail?
Yes - the TLV3402CDRG4 supports input voltages up to VCC + 5 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions. This rail-exceeding capability enables direct high-side voltage sensing without level-shifting components. The TLV3402CDRG4 maintains integrity even when inputs reach 5 V above VCC, provided total input voltage does not exceed 20 V.
What pull-up resistor value is recommended for the TLV3402CDRG4 open-drain outputs?
A 1 MΩ pull-up resistor is used in all TLV3402CDRG4 electrical characterization tests and is explicitly recommended in the datasheet for meeting specified propagation delay and VOL performance. Lower values reduce rise time but increase static current; higher values save power but degrade speed and noise immunity. The TLV3402CDRG4's open-drain architecture requires this external component for proper logic-level translation.
Is the TLV3402CDRG4 pin-compatible with other TLV340x variants?
No - the TLV3402CDRG4 uses an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package with a specific pinout distinct from SOIC-8 (D) and PDIP-8 (P) variants. While functional pin roles match across packages (e.g., Pin 1 = 1OUT), physical layout and thermal characteristics differ. Migration between packages requires PCB redesign; however, the TLV3402CDRG4 shares identical electrical behavior with TLV3402IDGKR in the same DGK package.
How does reverse battery protection work in the TLV3402CDRG4?
The TLV3402CDRG4 incorporates internal protection circuitry that blocks excessive current flow when VCC is driven negative relative to GND, allowing safe operation with –18 V applied to the supply pin. This feature prevents damage during incorrect battery installation in field-deployed devices. The TLV3402CDRG4 datasheet specifies this capability in Absolute Maximum Ratings and highlights it as a key differentiator for portable equipment.
