Product details
Overview
TLV4051R1YKAR from Texas Instruments is a precision, low-power, inverting-input comparator with 1.2 V internal reference, push-pull output, and 360 ns propagation delay. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V supply, draws only 2 µA quiescent current, and functions across –40°C to +125°C - ideal for battery voltage monitoring and overvoltage protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TLV4051R1YKAR datasheet, TLV4051R1YKAR pinout, TLV4051R1YKAR application, or TLV4051R1YKAR equivalent, key selection factors include its factory-trimmed 1.2 V threshold (±0.5% at 25°C), precision hysteresis (20 mV), rail-to-rail input stage, known power-on reset behavior, and dual-package availability (DSBGA YKA / SOT-23).
Technical Context
The TLV4051R1YKAR implements an inverting-input architecture where the external signal is applied to the IN pin and compared against a factory-trimmed 1.2 V internal reference. Its push-pull output drives high when IN < VIT− (1.174 V typ) and low when IN > VIT+ (1.206 V typ) at 25°C, enabling clean digital transitions without external pull-up.
It integrates a Power-On Reset (POR) circuit that holds the output low during power ramp-up until VS ≥ 1.45 V, ensuring deterministic startup. Precision hysteresis (20 mV) rejects noise on slow-moving inputs, and rail-to-rail input operation supports detection down to V− and up to V+ across the full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 5.5 V - enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or low-voltage logic rails (1.8 V, 3.3 V) |
| Reference Voltage | 1.2 V ±0.5% at 25°C - factory-trimmed threshold eliminates external resistor divider for 1.2 V detection |
| Propagation Delay | 360 ns at 3.3 V, 15 pF load - supports fast fault response in power management and system monitoring |
| Quiescent Current | 2 µA at 25°C - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Input Hysteresis | 20 mV - suppresses false triggering from EMI or ripple on input signals |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive cabin, industrial, and harsh-environment applications |
| Output Type | Push-pull - drives high/low actively without external pull-up, simplifying interface to MCU GPIO or logic |
Pinout & Package
TLV4051R1YKAR is available in two packages: ultra-small 0.73 mm × 0.73 mm DSBGA (YKA, 4-bump) and industry-standard SOT-23 (DBV, 5-pin). The YKA package uses a 2×2 bump layout; the SOT-23 includes a no-connect (NC) pin (Pin 3) for mechanical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Connects to main system rail (1.6–5.5 V); powers internal reference and output stage |
| V− | Negative supply input | Typically ground; defines lower bound of input common-mode and output swing |
| IN | Inverting input | Applied signal is compared against internal 1.2 V reference; output goes low when IN exceeds threshold |
| OUT | Push-pull output | Drives actively high (to V+) or low (to V−); compatible with CMOS/TTL loads without pull-up |
| NC (SOT-23 only) | No-connect terminal | Not bonded internally; may be grounded for improved thermal/mechanical performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting input configuration | Enables direct overvoltage detection: rising input triggers low output, simplifying fault-signaling logic |
| Factory-trimmed 1.2 V reference | Eliminates external resistor network and associated tolerance stack-up for precise 1.2 V threshold detection |
| Known POR startup | Output held low during power ramp-up until VS ≥ 1.45 V - prevents spurious resets in power sequencing |
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Accepts input signals from V− to V+, supporting detection of ground-referenced or rail-referenced voltages |
| 20 mV precision hysteresis | Rejects noise up to ±10 mV on input without requiring external hysteresis resistors |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV4041R1YFPR | Non-inverting input, same 1.2 V reference and push-pull output | Requires inverted logic interpretation: high output indicates input > threshold | Select when system design expects active-high fault indication without logic inversion |
| TLV4051R5YKAR | Same inverting input and push-pull output, but 0.5 V reference instead of 1.2 V | Optimized for lower-threshold detection (e.g., 0.5 V current-sense amplifier outputs) | Select when monitoring sub-1 V signals; not interchangeable without circuit redesign |
Compared with TLV4041R1YFPR and TLV4051R5YKAR, the TLV4051R1YKAR uniquely combines inverting logic, 1.2 V precision reference, and push-pull drive - making it optimal for direct overvoltage flagging on 1.2 V rails without external inversion or level-shifting.

FAQ
What is the input configuration of the TLV4051R1YKAR?
The TLV4051R1YKAR features an inverting input configuration: when the voltage at the IN pin exceeds the internal 1.2 V reference (VIT+ = 1.206 V typ at 25°C), the push-pull output switches low; when IN falls below VIT− (1.174 V typ), the output switches high. This behavior is confirmed in Table 8-1 of the TLV4051R1YKAR datasheet and enables direct overvoltage fault signaling.
Does the TLV4051R1YKAR require external components to set its threshold?
No. The TLV4051R1YKAR integrates a factory-trimmed 1.2 V precision reference, eliminating the need for external resistor dividers to establish the comparison threshold. This reduces BOM count, PCB area, and tolerance-related inaccuracies - a key advantage over general-purpose comparators requiring external references.
What is the guaranteed propagation delay for TLV4051R1YKAR?
The TLV4051R1YKAR has a typical propagation delay of 360 ns under standard test conditions (VS = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF, input overdrive = 100 mV). This value is specified in the Switching Characteristics table (Section 6.6) and applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and supply range (1.6 V to 5.5 V).
How does the Power-On Reset (POR) function in TLV4051R1YKAR?
The TLV4051R1YKAR's POR circuit holds the push-pull output low while the supply voltage ramps up until VS reaches 1.45 V. Once VS ≥ 1.45 V, the comparator begins normal operation, reflecting the state of the IN pin. This behavior is documented in Section 8.4.1 and ensures glitch-free startup in systems with uncontrolled power sequencing.
Can TLV4051R1YKAR operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes. The TLV4051R1YKAR is fully specified to operate from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, including 1.8 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains 2 µA quiescent current (typ), 1.2 V reference accuracy (±1% over temperature), and 360 ns propagation delay - making it suitable for ultra-low-voltage applications such as energy-harvesting sensors and coin-cell-powered devices.
