Product details
Overview
TLV3491AIDBVT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, nanopower, rail-to-rail input/output comparator with push-pull CMOS output stage, designed for ultra-low-power systems operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply. It delivers 6 µs propagation delay (at 100 mV overdrive), 0.8 µA typical quiescent current, and input common-mode range extending 200 mV beyond both rails - enabling reliable operation in single-cell battery-powered applications such as portable medical sensors and wireless security nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TLV3491AIDBVT datasheet, TLV3491AIDBVT pinout, TLV3491AIDBVT application, or TLV3491AIDBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its nanopower consumption, rail-to-rail input capability, push-pull output eliminating external pull-up needs, and SOT-23-5 package suitability for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV3491AIDBVT implements a fully differential input stage with ESD-protected inputs rated for ±3000 V HBM, operating across –40°C to +125°C. Its push-pull output drives high-impedance loads directly without external resistors and avoids shoot-through current during switching.
Input offset voltage is ±3 mV (typ), with ±15 mV (max) over temperature, and PSRR reaches 1000 µV/V - critical for stable threshold detection in noisy, low-voltage environments where supply ripple may otherwise induce false triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct operation from single Li-ion or two alkaline cells |
| Quiescent Current | 0.8 µA (typ) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor wake-up circuits |
| Propagation Delay | 6 µs (typ, 100 mV overdrive) - balances speed and power for event-triggered monitoring |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V– – 0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V - allows sensing signals below ground or above supply in single-supply systems |
| Output Type | Push-pull CMOS - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count and board area |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±3 mV (typ), ±15 mV (max) - defines minimum detectable signal differential without hysteresis |
| ESD Rating | ±3000 V HBM - ensures robustness during handling and in-field deployment |
Pinout & Package
TLV3491AIDBVT is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for high-density portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Output | CMOS push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥5 mA; no external pull-up required |
| 2 - V– | Negative Supply | Lowest potential supply rail; connects to GND in single-supply configurations |
| 3 - +IN | Noninverting Input | Differential input node; accepts signals up to V+ + 0.2 V and down to V– – 0.2 V |
| 4 - –IN | Inverting Input | Differential input node; same rail-to-rail common-mode range as +IN |
| 5 - V+ | Positive Supply | Highest potential supply rail; operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3701DBVR | Higher supply current (560 nA vs 800 nA), open-drain output requiring external pull-up | Suitable where bidirectional bus interfacing or wired-OR logic is needed | Choose TLV3701DBVR only if open-drain functionality is explicitly required; TLV3491AIDBVT preferred for lower system power and simpler layout |
| LMV7215M5X | Higher quiescent current (1.1 µA typ), 7 µs propagation delay, no rail-to-rail input | Better suited for higher-speed, non-battery-critical applications with wider supply margins | Select LMV7215M5X only when faster response is prioritized over power; TLV3491AIDBVT maintains superior rail-to-rail input and lower IQ |
Compared with TLV3701DBVR and LMV7215M5X, TLV3491AIDBVT uniquely combines sub-1-µA IQ, rail-to-rail input, and push-pull output - making it the optimal choice for space- and energy-constrained single-supply systems where simplicity and longevity are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TLV3491AIDBVT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TLV3491AIDBVT is 5.5 V. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage. The device is specified for reliable operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +125°C, with recommended conditions limiting supply to ≤5.5 V to ensure long-term reliability and parametric compliance per SBOS262E.
Does TLV3491AIDBVT support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, TLV3491AIDBVT supports true rail-to-rail input operation with a common-mode voltage range from (V–) – 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V. This allows direct interfacing with sensors or signal sources that swing below ground or above the positive supply - a key advantage over conventional comparators in single-supply, low-voltage systems.
What output configuration does TLV3491AIDBVT use?
TLV3491AIDBVT features a push-pull CMOS output stage, capable of actively sourcing and sinking current without requiring an external pull-up resistor. This reduces system-level power consumption, simplifies PCB layout, and improves noise immunity compared to open-drain alternatives like TLV3701DBVR.
Can TLV3491AIDBVT operate from a single 1.8-V cell?
Yes, TLV3491AIDBVT is fully specified to operate from 1.8 V, making it compatible with single LiFePO₄ or two-series alkaline cells. Its 0.8 µA typical quiescent current and rail-to-rail input/output ensure functional integrity even as battery voltage declines toward end-of-life.
Is external hysteresis required for stable operation of TLV3491AIDBVT?
External hysteresis is recommended for noisy input signals, as the TLV3491AIDBVT has a typical input offset voltage of ±3 mV (±15 mV max). Without hysteresis, input noise within this band can cause multiple output transitions. A feedback resistor from OUT to +IN adds controlled hysteresis, improving noise immunity in real-world sensor interfaces.
