Product details
Overview
TLV3491AIDG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, nanopower, rail-to-rail input/output comparator with push-pull CMOS output stage, 0.8 µA typical supply current, 1.8 V to 5.5 V operating voltage, and 6 µs propagation delay at 100 mV overdrive - used for ultra-low-power threshold detection in battery-powered sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TLV3491AIDG4 datasheet, TLV3491AIDG4 pinout, TLV3491AIDG4 application, or TLV3491AIDG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include quiescent current budget (<1 µA), input common-mode range extending 200 mV beyond rails, push-pull output drive capability (±5 mA), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The TLV3491AIDG4 implements a fully differential input stage with ESD-protected inputs rated ±3000 V HBM and operates across –40°C to +125°C. Its push-pull output eliminates external pull-up resistors and avoids shoot-through current, enabling direct interfacing with CMOS logic or microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting.
Input offset voltage is ±3 mV (typ), with ±15 mV max over temperature; common-mode rejection ratio is 60–74 dB depending on input range. The device supports stable operation down to 1.8 V, making it suitable for single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline systems where supply headroom is minimal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct use with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–3.7 V) or two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) batteries |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 µA (typ) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits (e.g., >10-year runtime on CR2032) |
| Propagation Delay | 6 µs (typ, 100 mV overdrive) - sufficient for low-frequency event detection (e.g., door open/close, battery low alert) |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V–) – 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V - allows sensing signals below ground or above supply, critical for AC-coupled zero-crossing |
| Output Drive | Push-pull CMOS, VOH = 90 mV from rail (5 mA sink), VOL = 160 mV from rail (5 mA source) - drives logic inputs directly without pull-ups |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±3 mV (typ), ±15 mV (max) - defines minimum detectable signal difference without external trimming |
| ESD Rating | ±3000 V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
TLV3491AIDG4 is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with body size 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Output | CMOS push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥5 mA; compatible with 1.8-V to 5-V logic families |
| 2 - V– | Negative Supply | Lowest potential supply rail; must be connected to GND or negative reference in dual-supply configurations |
| 3 - +IN | Noninverting Input | High-impedance (±1 pA bias current) node for reference or signal comparison; accepts voltages up to V+ + 0.2 V |
| 4 - –IN | Inverting Input | High-impedance node for sensed signal; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range including sub-ground levels |
| 5 - V+ | Positive Supply | Highest potential supply rail; supplies internal bias and output stage; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Enables full utilization of supply range in low-voltage systems (e.g., 1.8 V), eliminating need for external level shifters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3491IDBVR | Same silicon, SOT-23-5 package, but with different tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS-compliant finish (no lead plating) | Identical electrical specs and pinout; preferred for new designs requiring lead-free compliance and automated assembly | Select TLV3491IDBVR for volume production with modern SMT lines; TLV3491AIDG4 remains valid for legacy inventory or specific qualification requirements |
| TLV7011DBVR | Lower quiescent current (350 nA typ), but open-drain output requiring external pull-up; 1.6 V min supply | Suitable where ultra-deep sleep dominates (e.g., >10-year battery life), but adds BOM cost and reduces noise immunity vs push-pull | Choose TLV7011DBVR only when sub-500 nA IQ is mandatory and system can tolerate open-drain limitations; TLV3491AIDG4 offers superior drive and simplicity |
Compared with TLV3491IDBVR, TLV3491AIDG4 shares identical functionality but differs in packaging specification and finish; compared with TLV7011DBVR, TLV3491AIDG4 trades 0.45 µA higher IQ for integrated push-pull drive, eliminating external components and improving transient response in event-triggered systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for TLV3491AIDG4?
The TLV3491AIDG4 is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and supports deployment in automotive under-hood modules, industrial motor controls, and outdoor IoT sensors where thermal stress is significant. Thermal resistance (RθJA) is 237.8°C/W in SOT-23-5 package.
Does TLV3491AIDG4 require an external pull-up resistor on its output?
No, TLV3491AIDG4 features a push-pull CMOS output stage that actively drives both high and low states without external components. This eliminates standby current through pull-up resistors, reduces BOM count, and improves noise immunity compared to open-drain comparators. The output can directly interface with 1.8-V to 5-V logic inputs.
Can TLV3491AIDG4 operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, TLV3491AIDG4 is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains 0.85 µA typical quiescent current, 6 µs propagation delay (100 mV overdrive), and rail-to-rail input/output swing - making it ideal for single-cell LiFePO₄ or two-cell alkaline systems where supply headroom is minimal.
What is the input offset voltage specification for TLV3491AIDG4?
The TLV3491AIDG4 has a typical input offset voltage of ±3 mV and a maximum of ±15 mV over temperature (–40°C to +125°C). This defines the smallest differential input voltage reliably detectable without external trimming or calibration, critical for precision threshold detection in sensor front-ends.
Is TLV3491AIDG4 pin-compatible with other members of the TLV349x family?
No - TLV3491AIDG4 is a single-channel device in 5-pin SOT-23, while TLV3492 (dual) and TLV3494 (quad) use 8-pin and 14-pin packages respectively. Pin functions differ across channel count variants; only TLV3491 variants (e.g., TLV3491IDBVR) share identical pinout and footprint with TLV3491AIDG4.
