Texas Instruments TLV6710DDCR

Overview

TLV6710DDCR from Texas Instruments is a micropower, 36-V window comparator IC with integrated 400-mV precision reference, dual open-drain outputs rated to 25 V, ±0.75% threshold accuracy over temperature, and 7 µA typical quiescent current - used for overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring in battery-powered and industrial power-rail supervision systems.

For engineers reviewing the TLV6710DDCR datasheet, TLV6710DDCR pinout, TLV6710DDCR application, or TLV6710DDCR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin functions, confirmed window-comparator timing behavior (tpd(HL) = 9.9 µs), real-world hysteresis design impact (5.5 mV typical), and accurate alternative selection guidance based on TI's TLV67xx family documentation.

Technical Context

The TLV6710DDCR implements two independent high-accuracy comparators sharing a single internal 400-mV reference: INA+ monitors falling voltage thresholds (VIT–(INA) = 397–403 mV), while INB– monitors rising thresholds (VIT+(INB) = 397–403 mV), enabling precise window detection without external references. Each comparator includes built-in 5.5-mV typical hysteresis to reject noise-induced false triggering.

Its open-drain outputs (OUTA, OUTB) support pull-up voltages up to 25 V independent of VDD (1.8–36 V), allowing direct interfacing with 3.3-V, 5-V, or 24-V logic domains. Startup delay is 155 µs at VDD = 5 V, and undervoltage lockout activates below 1.3–1.7 V to ensure deterministic output states during brownout conditions.

FAQ

What is the exact function of TLV6710DDCR in a window comparator circuit?

The TLV6710DDCR functions as a dual-threshold detector: INA+ triggers OUTA low upon falling voltage crossing VIT–(INA) ≈ 400 mV, while INB– triggers OUTB low upon rising voltage crossing VIT+(INB) ≈ 400 mV. When both outputs are high-impedance, the monitored voltage resides within the defined window. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in TI's truth table (Section 8.1) and functional description (Section 8.3.1).

Does TLV6710DDCR require external components to operate as a window comparator?

Yes - TLV6710DDCR requires three external resistors to form a voltage divider network connecting the monitored rail to INA, INB, and GND. The resistor values determine the actual window thresholds (e.g., 21.6 V UV / 26.4 V OV for a 24-V rail), as detailed in TI's Application Report SLVA450 and Typical Application section (Figure 24). No external reference is needed due to the integrated 400-mV source.

Can TLV6710DDCR monitor voltages higher than its VDD supply?

Yes - TLV6710DDCR inputs (INA, INB) tolerate voltages up to 7.0 V absolute maximum, and the device supports monitoring of rails exceeding VDD via external resistor dividers. For example, with VDD = 5 V, the inputs can safely monitor a 24-V rail using a 6:1 divider, as shown in Figure 23 of the datasheet. Input common-mode range is 0–1.7 V relative to GND, enforced by the divider.

What is the maximum sink current capability of TLV6710DDCR outputs?

TLV6710DDCR outputs (OUTA, OUTB) are specified to sink up to 10 mA each while maintaining VOL ≤ 250 mV at VDD = 5 V and IOUT = 5 mA (Electrical Characteristics Table, Section 7.5). Absolute maximum ratings allow 40 mA, but design use should stay within 10 mA to ensure guaranteed low-level voltage performance and thermal stability.

How does TLV6710DDCR behave during power-up or brownout conditions?

TLV6710DDCR incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and power-on reset (POR). When VDD rises above 1.8 V, a 155-µs startup delay occurs before outputs reflect input states. If VDD drops between V(POR) = 0.8 V and UVLO = 1.3–1.7 V, OUTA is forced low and OUTB goes high-Z. Below V(POR), both outputs enter high-Z - ensuring deterministic behavior during supply transients as documented in Section 8.4.
