Product details
Overview
TLV7021DCKT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, open-drain output micropower comparator in 5-pin SC70 package, operating from 1.6 V to 6.5 V supply, consuming only 5 µA quiescent current, with 260 ns propagation delay (tPHL), rail-to-rail input range extending 100 mV beyond VCC, and internal hysteresis - used for precision threshold detection in battery-powered IR receivers and level translation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV7021DCKT datasheet, TLV7021DCKT pinout, TLV7021DCKT application, or TLV7021DCKT equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain output compatibility with pull-up voltages beyond VCC, fault-tolerant inputs (0–5.5 V independent of VCC), no phase reversal under overdrive, –40°C to 125°C operation, and SC70 footprint suitability for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The TLV7021DCKT implements a rail-to-rail input stage supporting common-mode voltages from VEE to VCC + 0.1 V, with differential input tolerance up to ±5.5 V regardless of supply state. Its open-drain output enables bidirectional level shifting between domains (e.g., 1.8 V logic sensing 3.3 V signal), while internal hysteresis (1.2–14 mV) suppresses noise-induced oscillation on slow-moving inputs.
Power-on-reset (POR) holds the output in high-impedance state during VCC ramp-up until ≥1.6 V is reached, ensuring glitch-free startup. The device maintains 5 pA input bias current and ±8 mV max input offset voltage across temperature, enabling stable DC-coupled monitoring in low-power sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 6.5 V - supports direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Quiescent Current | 5 µA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on wake-up comparators for IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Propagation Delay | 260 ns (tPHL, 100 mV overdrive) - provides fast fault response while maintaining micropower operation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5 mV (typ), ±8 mV (max) - ensures accurate threshold detection down to sub-millivolt windows in precision monitors. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE to VCC + 0.1 V - allows sensing signals exceeding supply rails, critical for industrial analog front-ends. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - permits flexible pull-up to higher voltage domains (e.g., 5 V pull-up with 1.8 V VCC), enabling bipolar-to-single-ended conversion. |
| Hysteresis | 1.2–14 mV (adjustable via external feedback) - eliminates chatter on noisy or slowly varying inputs like thermistor outputs. |
Pinout & Package
TLV7021DCKT is packaged in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Open-drain output | Drives low when IN+ > IN−; requires external pull-up; floats high otherwise - enables wired-OR logic and multi-voltage domain interfacing. |
| 2 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground | Reference node for input common-mode and output low-state; must be connected to system ground or lowest potential rail. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Positive reference input; accepts voltages up to VCC + 0.1 V; fault-tolerant to 5.5 V even with unpowered VCC. |
| 4 (IN−) | Inverting input | Negative reference input; same fault tolerance and common-mode range as IN+; differential input voltage limited to ±5.5 V. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail (1.6–6.5 V); powers internal biasing and POR circuit; output high-impedance state active until VCC ≥ 1.6 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal on overdriven inputs | Guarantees correct output polarity even when IN+ or IN− exceeds VCC or drops below VEE - essential for robust fault detection in automotive and industrial sensors. |
| Fault-tolerant inputs (0–5.5 V) | Allows safe connection of external signals before VCC is applied - simplifies power sequencing in multi-rail systems and prevents latch-up during hot-plug events. |
| Internal hysteresis | Reduces need for external positive feedback components; stabilizes output against noise on slow edges (e.g., thermistor or LDR-based thresholds). |
| Power-on-reset (POR) | Prevents undefined output states during power ramp-up by holding OUT in high-Z until VCC reaches 1.6 V - eliminates spurious interrupts in microcontroller wake-up circuits. |
| Rail-to-rail input with 100 mV beyond VCC | Enables direct sensing of signals at or slightly above supply rail - useful for battery voltage monitoring near end-of-life where VBAT ≈ VCC. |
Applications
| IR Receiver Analog Front End | Low-Power Battery Monitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7021DBVR | Same electrical specs; X2SON (0.8 × 0.8 mm²) package - 75% smaller footprint than SC70, but requires advanced reflow and inspection. | Better suited for ultra-compact wearables or hearing aids where board area is constrained; less suitable for manual prototyping or wave soldering. | Select TLV7021DBVR when PCB real estate is premium and assembly process supports 0.4 mm pitch leadless packages. |
| LMV7215MF/NOPB | Higher supply current (32 µA), faster propagation (120 ns), push-pull output - no external pull-up needed, but cannot float high or interface across voltage domains. | Preferred for high-speed, single-supply logic-level comparison where power budget allows; unsuitable for level translation or multi-rail interfacing. | Choose LMV7215MF/NOPB when speed outweighs power savings and output must drive capacitive loads directly without pull-up resistors. |
Compared with TLV7021DCKT, TLV7021DBVR offers identical functionality in a smaller package for space-critical designs, while LMV7215MF/NOPB trades micropower operation for higher speed and push-pull drive - making TLV7021DCKT optimal for battery longevity and flexible voltage-domain interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TLV7021DCKT can tolerate when VCC is unpowered?
The TLV7021DCKT features fault-tolerant inputs rated for 0 V to 5.5 V regardless of VCC state. This means IN+ and IN− can safely accept signals up to 5.5 V even with VCC = 0 V - a critical capability for hot-swap interfaces and power-sequenced systems. This specification is verified per TI's SLVSDM5F datasheet Section 6.1 and 7.4.1.
Does the TLV7021DCKT require external hysteresis, or is it built-in?
The TLV7021DCKT includes internal hysteresis (1.2–14 mV, depending on supply and temperature), eliminating the need for external positive feedback resistors in most noise-immune threshold detection applications. External hysteresis can still be added for tighter control, but the internal hysteresis ensures reliable operation out-of-the-box - confirmed in Section 7.3 and Table 6.8 of the TLV7021DCKT datasheet.
Can the TLV7021DCKT be used as a level translator between 1.8 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes - the TLV7021DCKT's open-drain output and fault-tolerant inputs make it ideal for bidirectional level translation. With VCC = 1.8 V and a 5 V pull-up on OUT, it can sense 5 V input signals and output 5 V logic levels. This configuration is explicitly supported in TI's Application Note SBAA341 and validated in the TLV7021DCKT's recommended operating conditions (Section 6.4).
What is the power-on behavior of the TLV7021DCKT output?
During power-up, the TLV7021DCKT's integrated Power-on-Reset (POR) circuit holds the open-drain output in high-impedance state until VCC reaches ≥1.6 V. This prevents false triggering or bus contention in microcontroller wake-up circuits. Once VCC stabilizes, the output responds dynamically to input differentials - detailed in Section 7.4 and Figure 1 of the TLV7021DCKT datasheet.
Is the TLV7021DCKT pin-compatible with other comparators in the TLV70xx family?
The TLV7021DCKT shares identical 5-pin SC70 pinout with TLV7011DCKT (push-pull variant), allowing direct substitution where open-drain functionality is not required. However, TLV7021DCKT is not pin-compatible with dual-channel variants (e.g., TLV7022) or different packages (X2SON, SOT-23). Pin mapping is confirmed in Section 5 (Pin Configuration) of SLVSDM5F.
