Product details
Overview
TLV7042QDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, nanopower, open-drain comparator with rail-to-rail input capability, 315nA quiescent current, 3µs propagation delay, and operation from 1.6V to 6.5V supply. It delivers precision voltage monitoring in battery-powered gas detectors and motion sensors where ultra-low power and noise immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TLV7042QDGKRQ1 datasheet, TLV7042QDGKRQ1 pinout, TLV7042QDGKRQ1 application, or TLV7042QDGKRQ1 equivalent, key selection factors include its open-drain output architecture, internal hysteresis, –40°C to 125°C automotive-grade temperature range, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV7042QDGKRQ1 implements a rail-to-rail input stage that accepts common-mode voltages from VEE to VCC + 0.1V, enabling direct sensing of signals near supply rails. Its internal hysteresis (3–25mV) suppresses false triggering in noisy environments without external components.
As part of the TLV704x family, it features a dedicated power-on-reset (POR) circuit that maintains high-impedance output during supply ramp-up below 1.6V - ensuring glitch-free startup in automotive and industrial systems requiring deterministic initial state behavior.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6V to 6.5V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 315nA per channel - enables multi-year battery life in always-on smoke detectors and portable gas meters. |
| Propagation Delay | 3µs at 100mV overdrive - provides fast fault response while maintaining nanoPower efficiency. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.1mV (min), ±8mV (max) - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision voltage monitoring circuits. |
| Hysteresis | 3mV to 25mV - eliminates chatter on slow-moving inputs like thermistor-based temperature sensing. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual open-drain comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7042DR | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 package (4.9mm × 3.9mm) vs VSSOP-8 (3.0mm × 3.0mm) | Larger footprint; lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 131.0°C/W vs 211.7°C/W) but higher board area cost | Select TLV7042DR only when SOIC hand-soldering or legacy footprint compatibility is required. |
| LMV7235M5X | Higher quiescent current (1.1µA), no internal hysteresis, SC70-5 single-channel only | Requires external hysteresis network and two devices for dual functionality; unsuitable for ultra-low-power designs | Choose LMV7235M5X only if higher speed (45ns) outweighs 3.5× higher current draw and added component count. |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for TLV7042QDGKRQ1 to operate correctly?
The TLV7042QDGKRQ1 requires a minimum supply voltage of 1.6V to ensure functional operation and release from power-on-reset. Below this threshold, the device holds outputs in high-impedance state. This specification is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and applies to both channels of the TLV7042QDGKRQ1.
Does TLV7042QDGKRQ1 include internal hysteresis, and how does it affect threshold stability?
Yes, the TLV7042QDGKRQ1 integrates internal hysteresis ranging from 3mV to 25mV depending on supply voltage and temperature. This feature eliminates oscillation on slow-moving or noisy inputs - such as thermistor outputs in smoke detectors - without requiring external feedback components. The hysteresis is inherent to the TLV7042QDGKRQ1 silicon design and active across its entire operating range.
Can TLV7042QDGKRQ1 be used in single-supply configurations with ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, the TLV7042QDGKRQ1 supports true single-supply operation with VEE connected to ground. Its rail-to-rail input stage accepts common-mode voltages from 0V (VEE) to VCC + 0.1V, allowing direct interface with ground-referenced sensors like potentiometers or resistive bridges. This capability is fully specified and tested for the TLV7042QDGKRQ1 in all recommended operating conditions.
What is the output behavior of TLV7042QDGKRQ1 during power-up?
During power-up, the TLV7042QDGKRQ1's internal power-on-reset (POR) circuit holds both outputs (OUTA and OUTB) in high-impedance state until VCC reaches and sustains ≥1.6V for at least 200µs. This behavior prevents false triggering in safety-critical applications and is a defined characteristic of the TLV7042QDGKRQ1, not dependent on external circuitry.
Is TLV7042QDGKRQ1 qualified for automotive applications, and what standard does it meet?
Yes, TLV7042QDGKRQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, meaning it is certified for automotive applications with ambient operating temperatures from –40°C to +125°C. This qualification covers stress testing for reliability, including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and ESD robustness - confirming suitability for under-hood and body electronics where the TLV7042QDGKRQ1 is deployed.
