Product details
Overview
TLV9021DBVR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, open-drain precision comparator with rail-to-rail fault-tolerant inputs, 300 µV input offset voltage, 100 ns propagation delay, and 16 µA quiescent current per channel. It operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), enabling precise voltage monitoring in motor drive overcurrent detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLV9021DBVR datasheet, TLV9021DBVR pinout, TLV9021DBVR application, or TLV9021DBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain output architecture, 6 V fault-tolerant input capability, low-power operation at 1.65 V supply, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV9021DBVR implements a high-speed, low-power comparator core with ESD-protected, fault-tolerant input stage capable of accepting voltages up to 6 V regardless of supply rail-enabling direct sensing of higher-voltage signals without external level-shifting. Its internal biasing ensures stable operation across the full –40°C to +125°C range.
As part of the TLV902x family, it shares identical electrical characteristics with TLV9020 but uses the alternate North West pinout (IN– on Pin 3, IN+ on Pin 4, OUT on Pin 1) in the DBV (SOT-23-5) package. The open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor and supports mixed-voltage logic interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct operation from Li-ion, 3.3 V, or 5 V rails without regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.3 mV (typ) - supports accurate threshold detection within ±3 mV at 10× gain |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ns (high-to-low, 5 V supply) - suitable for sub-5 MHz signal edge detection |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA per channel - allows battery-powered designs to achieve >1-year standby life |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V–) – 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V - permits rail-to-rail input operation including beyond supply rails |
| Fault-Tolerant Input Rating | –0.3 V to +6 V relative to V– - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in 24 V sensor interfaces |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 system-level ESD robustness requirements |
Pinout & Package
TLV9021DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm, optimized for automated placement and thermal performance (RθJA = 223.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Open-drain output - must be pulled up externally; sinks current only; compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V/5 V logic |
| 2 | V– | Negative supply terminal - connects to GND or negative rail; thermal pad (if present) ties directly to this pin |
| 3 | IN– | Inverting input - accepts analog signals up to 6 V above V– without damage or phase inversion |
| 4 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - used for reference or signal comparison; matched input capacitance (2 pF diff / 3 pF cm) |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - supplies internal bias; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail fault-tolerant inputs | Withstands –0.3 V to +6 V on IN+/IN– regardless of V+ or V– - enables direct connection to 24 V sensors or automotive battery lines |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 16 µA per channel at 25°C - reduces power budget impact in always-on monitoring systems |
| Precision offset voltage | ±0.3 mV typical - minimizes false triggering in high-resolution threshold applications like battery cell voltage supervision |
| Fast propagation delay | 100 ns high-to-low transition - supports real-time overvoltage/overcurrent response in motor control protection loops |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - validated for use in under-hood automotive, factory automation, and industrial motor drives |
Applications
| Motor Overcurrent Protection | Appliance Door Interlock Monitoring |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision comparator compares amplified shunt voltage against fixed reference; triggers shutdown via microcontroller interrupt within 100 ns. Use Value: Enables <100 ns fault response time while consuming only 16 µA - critical for IGBT/MOSFET gate driver safety compliance. | Use Scenario: Monitors magnetic reed switch closure in washing machine door latch assemblies to prevent drum rotation when open. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares reed switch output against internal reference; provides clean digital enable/disable signal to main controller. Use Value: Fault-tolerant inputs tolerate EMI-induced transients on long harnesses; 1.65 V operation supports low-power MCU sleep modes. |

Use Scenario: Interfaces 0–10 V analog pressure sensor outputs to PLC input modules in harsh industrial environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as voltage window detector or level translator between sensor and isolated digital interface. Use Value: 6 V input tolerance eliminates external protection components; 125°C rating ensures reliability near motors and drives. | Use Scenario: Validates DC/DC converter output stability before enabling downstream processors in automotive cluster displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares regulated 5 V rail against precision reference to assert "power good" signal to SoC. Use Value: Low offset (±0.3 mV) ensures accurate 4.95–5.05 V window detection; open-drain output simplifies OR-ing with other PG signals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9021DCKR | Identical electrical specs; uses SC-70-5 (DCK) package (1.25 mm × 2.00 mm), smaller footprint than DBV | Preferred for ultra-dense layouts where board area is constrained; thermal resistance slightly higher (RθJA = 238.5°C/W) | Select DCKR when PCB real estate is premium and thermal margin allows; verify solder paste volume for SC-70 reflow. |
| LMV331M5X | Higher offset (±3.5 mV), slower propagation (300 ns), no fault-tolerant inputs; 1.8–5.5 V supply | Not suitable for 6 V sensor interfaces or high-accuracy thresholds; lacks industrial temp rating (only –40°C to +85°C) | Use only in cost-sensitive, non-critical consumer applications where 6 V tolerance and ±0.3 mV offset are not required. |
Compared with TLV9021DCKR, TLV9021DBVR offers better thermal performance (223.7 vs. 238.5°C/W) and mechanical robustness in SOT-23 handling; versus LMV331M5X, it delivers 11× lower offset, 3× faster response, and full fault tolerance-making it essential for industrial and automotive voltage monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TLV9021DBVR can tolerate without damage?
The TLV9021DBVR supports input voltages from –0.3 V to +6 V relative to the V– pin, independent of supply voltage. This fault-tolerance eliminates external clamping components when interfacing with 24 V sensors or battery-sensed signals, and is verified across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does TLV9021DBVR require a pull-up resistor on its output?
Yes, TLV9021DBVR features an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor to define the high-state voltage level. The value depends on speed and load: 2.5 kΩ is recommended for 5 V logic with 100 ns timing; higher values (e.g., 10 kΩ) reduce current consumption but increase rise time.
Can TLV9021DBVR operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, TLV9021DBVR is fully specified from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains 100 ns propagation delay, ±0.3 mV offset, and 16 µA quiescent current - making it ideal for ultra-low-voltage IoT sensor nodes and battery-powered equipment.
How does the TLV9021DBVR pinout differ from TLV9020DBVR?
TLV9021DBVR uses the North West pinout (IN– on Pin 3, IN+ on Pin 4, OUT on Pin 1), whereas TLV9020DBVR uses the Standard South East pinout (IN+ on Pin 1, IN– on Pin 3, OUT on Pin 4). Both share identical electrical behavior but are not pin-compatible - PCB layout must match the specific variant.
Is TLV9021DBVR qualified for automotive applications?
TLV9021DBVR is not AEC-Q200 qualified, but it is rated for the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and exhibits robust ESD performance (±2000 V HBM). For non-safety-critical automotive subsystems (e.g., body control, HVAC), it may be deployed subject to system-level qualification - consult TI's Automotive Product Disclaimer for guidance.
