Product details
Overview
TLV9021QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive precision comparator with open-drain output, 300 µV max input offset voltage, 100 ns propagation delay, 16 µA per-channel quiescent current, and rail-to-rail input operation from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply - deployed in HEV/EV battery monitoring and body control module voltage supervision.
For engineers reviewing the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TLV9021QDBVRQ1 pinout, TLV9021QDBVRQ1 application, or TLV9021QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world use-value for low-power, fault-tolerant voltage comparison in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The TLV9021QDBVRQ1 implements a high-speed, low-power comparator core with Power-On Reset (POR) ensuring known output state during power ramp-up/down, preventing transients in safety-critical systems. Its fault-tolerant inputs withstand up to 6 V beyond rails without phase inversion or damage.
This single-channel open-drain device supports logic-level translation via external pull-up, operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient, and features 2 kV HBM ESD protection - optimized for automotive voltage monitoring where input overvoltage resilience and startup predictability are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V microcontrollers and sensors without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.3 mV (typ), ≤2 mV (max over –40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection in battery cell voltage and rail monitoring. |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ns (high-to-low, typical at 5 V) - supports fast response in overvoltage/undervoltage lockout (OVLO/UVLO) circuits. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA per channel (typ at 25°C) - enables always-on monitoring in low-power automotive subsystems with minimal battery drain. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V–) – 0.2 V to (V+) + 0.2 V - allows input signals to exceed supply rails, critical for fault detection in noisy power domains. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM, CDM Class C6 - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for robustness in automotive assembly and field operation. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - permits flexible pull-up to voltages below or above V+, enabling bidirectional logic translation and wired-OR bus configurations. |
Pinout & Package
TLV9021QDBVRQ1 is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm body size, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Open-drain output | Active-low output requiring external pull-up; sinks up to 4 mA at 175 mV drop over temperature. |
| 2 - V– | Negative supply | Ground reference pin; thermal pad (if present) must be connected directly to this pin for WSON variants - not applicable to DBV. |
| 3 - IN– | Inverting input | Accepts input signals up to 6 V beyond V– without damage or output inversion - fault-tolerant design. |
| 4 - IN+ | Non-inverting input | Same fault tolerance as IN–; differential input voltage range supports precise window or threshold comparisons. |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply | Supplies internal bias and POR circuitry; minimum operating voltage is 1.65 V for guaranteed functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-On Reset (POR) | Guarantees defined output state until V+ reaches minimum operating voltage - eliminates spurious wakeups during cold cranking. |
| Fault-Tolerant Inputs | Withstand 6 V input voltage regardless of supply - enables direct connection to unregulated battery rails or CAN transceiver supplies. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Operation | Operates with common-mode inputs extending 0.2 V beyond both supply rails - simplifies sensor interface without external clamping. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 16 µA per channel at 25°C, ≤35 µA over full temperature range - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM Class 2 and CDM Class C6 - certified for powertrain and body electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9021QDRVRQ1 | Same electrical specs; packaged in 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) with smaller 1.25 mm × 2.00 mm footprint. | Better suited for space-constrained PCB layouts where board area is critical. | Select TLV9021QDRVRQ1 when minimizing footprint is prioritized over thermal performance - DCK has higher RθJA (238.5°C/W vs. 223.7°C/W). |
| LM7321QMA/NOPB | Higher quiescent current (1.15 mA), push-pull output, no POR, wider supply range (2.7 V to 36 V), no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification. | Applicable in non-safety-critical industrial monitoring but not qualified for automotive powertrain or BCM. | Choose LM7321QMA/NOPB only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs requiring high-voltage operation - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with TLV9021QDBVRQ1, TLV9021QDRVRQ1 offers identical performance in a smaller package for area-limited designs, while LM7321QMA/NOPB trades automotive qualification and ultra-low power for wider voltage range and higher drive strength - neither is pin-compatible.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 can tolerate relative to its supply rails?
The TLV9021QDBVRQ1 features fault-tolerant inputs rated for up to 6 V referenced to V–, regardless of supply voltage. This means IN+ and IN– can safely accept signals 6 V above V– - for example, 18 V when V– = 12 V - without damage or output phase inversion, making it ideal for direct battery rail monitoring in automotive systems.
Does the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 include Power-On Reset (POR), and how does it affect system behavior?
Yes, the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 integrates a dedicated Power-On Reset circuit that holds the output in a known state (high-impedance for open-drain) until V+ reaches the minimum operating voltage (1.65 V). This prevents false triggering during cold cranking or brown-out conditions - a critical feature for reliable reset generation and power sequencing in automotive TLV9021QDBVRQ1 deployments.
What is the typical propagation delay of the TLV9021QDBVRQ1, and under what conditions is it measured?
The TLV9021QDBVRQ1 has a typical propagation delay of 100 ns for high-to-low transitions, measured at VS = 5 V, VCM = VS/2, CL = 15 pF, and VID = –100 mV with a 2.5 kΩ pull-up resistor on the open-drain output. This value remains stable across –40°C to +125°C, supporting fast response in overvoltage lockout and fault-detection circuits using TLV9021QDBVRQ1.
Can the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 operate from a 1.8 V supply, and what performance trade-offs occur?
Yes, the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 is fully specified down to 1.65 V supply, including 1.8 V operation. At 1.8 V, input offset voltage remains ≤2 mV over temperature, quiescent current drops to ~17.1 µA, and propagation delay increases slightly versus 5 V - all parameters remain within automotive Grade 1 limits, enabling low-voltage sensor interface in TLV9021QDBVRQ1-based designs.
Is the TLV9021QDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TLV902x-Q1 family?
The TLV9021QDBVRQ1 uses the "North West" 5-pin SOT-23 pinout (IN–, V+, IN+, OUT, V–), which differs from the "South East" pinout of TLV9020-Q1. It is not pin-compatible with TLV9020-Q1 or TLV9031-Q1 (push-pull version), nor with dual/quad variants. Board layout must match the specific TLV9021QDBVRQ1 pin mapping to ensure correct IN+, IN–, and OUT connections.
