Product details
Overview
TLV7021DCKR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, micropower open-drain comparator with rail-to-rail input capability, 5 µA quiescent current, 260 ns propagation delay (tPHL), and operation from 1.6 V to 6.5 V supply. It delivers precision threshold detection in battery-powered IR receivers and level translators where low power and noise immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TLV7021DCKR datasheet, TLV7021DCKR pinout, TLV7021DCKR application, or TLV7021DCKR equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, package-specific terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for portable and industrial voltage monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The TLV7021DCKR implements a rail-to-rail input stage tolerant up to 100 mV beyond VCC and features internal hysteresis (1.2–14 mV) to suppress noise-induced output oscillation. Its open-drain output supports pull-up voltages beyond VCC-enabling bipolar-to-single-ended conversion and flexible logic-level interfacing.
It includes a Power-on-Reset (POR) circuit that places the output in high-impedance state during supply ramp-up or ramp-down, preventing undefined logic states. Input fault tolerance extends to 5.5 V independent of VCC, allowing safe pre-power-up signal presence.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 6.5 V - enables direct compatibility with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 5 µA - supports multi-year battery life in always-on sensing nodes and wearable devices. |
| Propagation Delay | 260 ns (tPHL, VOD = 100 mV) - ensures fast response to overvoltage/undervoltage faults while maintaining micropower operation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5 mV (min), ±8 mV (max) - enables accurate threshold detection at sub-10 mV levels across temperature. |
| Hysteresis | 1.2–14 mV - suppresses chatter on slow-moving or noisy input signals without external components. |
| Common-Mode Range | VEE to VCC + 0.1 V - supports inputs exceeding VCC by 100 mV, simplifying sensor interface design. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TLV7021DCKR is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Open-drain output | Requires external pull-up; supports voltage translation up to 6 V regardless of VCC. |
| 2 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground reference | Typically connected to GND in single-supply configurations; defines lower rail for common-mode range. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Accepts signals from VEE to VCC + 0.1 V; no phase reversal when overdriven. |
| 4 (IN−) | Inverting input | Same rail-to-rail range as IN+; differential input voltage (VID) must stay within absolute max ratings. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Supplies internal bias; powers POR circuit and output stage; minimum 1.6 V required for functional operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input with overdrive tolerance | Inputs operate from VEE to VCC + 0.1 V and tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Internal hysteresis | 1.2–14 mV programmable via supply and temperature - prevents false triggering on noisy thresholds without external resistors. |
| Power-on-reset (POR) behavior | Output remains high-impedance during VCC ramp-up/down - avoids spurious logic transitions in power-critical sequencing. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 5 µA typical at 1.8 V - enables continuous monitoring in energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications. |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation - qualified for automotive cabin, industrial control, and outdoor IoT deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7021DBVR | X2SON-5 (0.8 × 0.8 mm²) package; identical electrical specs and pinout; 497.5°C/W RθJA vs. 278.8°C/W for DCK. | Better suited for ultra-dense layouts where board area < 0.64 mm² is mandatory; higher thermal resistance requires careful power budgeting. | Select TLV7021DBVR only when footprint reduction outweighs thermal derating needs. |
| LMV7215MF/NOPB | Push-pull output (not open-drain); 120 ns propagation delay; 85 µA IQ; SOT-23-5 package; no internal hysteresis. | Requires external hysteresis resistor network; faster but draws 17× more current; unsuitable for battery lifetime-critical designs. | Choose LMV7215MF/NOPB only when push-pull drive and speed >260 ns are prioritized over power and integration. |
Compared with TLV7021DCKR, TLV7021DBVR offers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but with reduced thermal performance, while LMV7215MF/NOPB trades micropower operation and integrated hysteresis for raw speed and push-pull drive - making TLV7021DCKR optimal for space- and energy-constrained threshold detection.

FAQ
What is the output configuration of TLV7021DCKR?
The TLV7021DCKR features an open-drain output stage. This means the output transistor can only sink current to VEE (typically ground); a pull-up resistor to a defined voltage rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) is required to generate a logic-high level. This architecture enables level translation beyond VCC and wired-OR logic configurations - a key differentiator from push-pull comparators like the TLV7011.
Does TLV7021DCKR require external hysteresis resistors?
No. TLV7021DCKR integrates internal hysteresis ranging from 1.2 mV to 14 mV depending on supply voltage and temperature. This eliminates the need for external positive feedback resistors in most threshold-detection applications, reducing component count and PCB area - especially valuable in compact designs using the SC70 package.
Can TLV7021DCKR operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes. TLV7021DCKR is fully specified from 1.6 V to 6.5 V supply voltage. At 1.8 V, it maintains 5 µA quiescent current, 260 ns propagation delay, and rail-to-rail input operation - making it ideal for modern ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and energy-harvesting systems where supply rails fall below 2.0 V.
What is the maximum input voltage allowed on IN+ or IN− pins of TLV7021DCKR?
The absolute maximum input voltage on IN+ or IN− is VEE – 0.3 V to 6 V, independent of VCC. Crucially, the device is fault-tolerant up to 5.5 V - meaning inputs may safely remain active (e.g., connected to a 5 V sensor) even when VCC is unpowered or ramping, preserving system robustness during power sequencing.
How does the Power-on-Reset (POR) function behave in TLV7021DCKR?
During VCC ramp-up or ramp-down, TLV7021DCKR's POR circuit forces the open-drain output into a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state - not logic-high or logic-low. This prevents undefined or glitchy signals from propagating to downstream logic until VCC stabilizes above 1.6 V, ensuring reliable startup in sequenced power systems.
