Product details
Overview
TS3021ILT from STMicroelectronics is a single, rail-to-rail input, push-pull output high-speed comparator optimized for automotive and industrial applications. It delivers 38 ns propagation delay at 2 V supply, consumes only 73 µA quiescent current, operates from 1.8–5 V, and is qualified for -40 °C to 125 °C ambient temperature - enabling use in battery-powered signal conditioning and telecom front-end monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TS3021ILT datasheet, TS3021ILT pinout, TS3021ILT application, or TS3021ILT equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation under wide supply range, rail-to-rail input common-mode range, push-pull output drive capability, automotive-grade temperature performance, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS3021ILT implements a high-gain, low-offset CMOS input stage with internal hysteresis suppression, enabling clean switching even with slow or noisy input signals. Its push-pull output stage drives loads directly without external pull-up resistors, supporting fast transitions into 10 kΩ loads with 4–9 ns rise/fall times across 2–5 V supplies.
Designed for robust operation in harsh environments, it features 5 kV HBM ESD tolerance, failsafe behavior under overvoltage (±5 V differential input), and guaranteed performance over full automotive temperature range (-40 °C to 125 °C) with input offset drift as low as 3 µV/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation delay | 38 ns typical at 2 V, 100 mV overdrive - enables sampling decisions within high-speed data acquisition windows. |
| Supply voltage range | 1.8 V to 5 V - supports direct interface with 1.8 V logic, 3.3 V microcontrollers, and 5 V analog subsystems. |
| Quiescent current | 73 µA at 2 V, 25 °C - allows multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation and always-on sensor monitors. |
| Rail-to-rail inputs | Common-mode range extends (VCC−) −0.2 V to (VCC+) +0.2 V - captures full dynamic range of sensors and DAC outputs. |
| Output type | Push-pull CMOS - eliminates need for external pull-up, reduces BOM count, and ensures defined logic levels under load. |
| Temperature range | -40 °C to 125 °C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive and industrial control modules. |
| Input offset voltage | 0.5–2 mV (TS3021A grade) - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision level-shifting and window-comparator designs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.3 mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant, RoHS-compliant ECOPACK2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | CMOS push-pull output | Drives high/low actively; sinks up to 40 mA / sources up to 51 mA at 5 V - interfaces directly with FPGA I/O, MCU GPIO, or logic gates. |
| 2 VCC− | Negative supply reference | Ground or negative rail connection; all voltages referenced to this node - enables dual-supply or single-supply operation with split biasing. |
| 3 IN+ | Non-inverting input | High-impedance CMOS node (IIB ≤ 160 nA); accepts rail-to-rail signals - used for reference or signal input in comparator configurations. |
| 4 IN− | Inverting input | Matched to IN+ in offset and bias; supports hysteresis feedback or differential sensing - critical for noise-immune zero-crossing detection. |
| 5 VCC+ | Positive supply | Primary power rail; supplies internal amplifier and output stage - decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3022ILT | Dual-channel version in same SOT23-6 package; identical speed (38 ns), supply (1.8–5 V), and current (73 µA) specs per channel. | Used where two independent comparisons are needed (e.g., window comparator, dual-threshold detection) without doubling board area. | Select when space efficiency and channel matching outweigh need for single-channel simplicity. |
| TS3121ILT | Open-drain output instead of push-pull; includes fail-safe inputs (inputs remain functional up to VCC+ 0.3 V); otherwise matches speed and current. | Required where wired-OR logic, level translation, or I²C-compatible bus interfacing is needed - not suitable for direct MCU GPIO drive. | Choose when interoperability with mixed-voltage systems or fault-tolerant input behavior is mandatory. |
Compared with TS3022ILT, TS3021ILT saves board space and simplifies routing in single-threshold applications; compared with TS3121ILT, it eliminates external pull-ups and guarantees defined logic levels - making it optimal for direct microcontroller interface in compact, cost-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for TS3021ILT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC = VCC+ − VCC−) is 5.5 V. Continuous operation above 5 V risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 1.8 V to 5 V, with full specification compliance guaranteed across this range at temperatures from −40 °C to 125 °C.
Does TS3021ILT support dual-supply operation?
Yes. Pin 2 (VCC−) serves as the negative supply reference and can be connected to a negative rail (e.g., −2.5 V) while Pin 5 (VCC+) connects to ground or positive rail. Input common-mode range extends 0.2 V beyond each rail, enabling true dual-supply functionality with rail-to-rail input swing.
Can TS3021ILT drive an LED directly?
No. While its push-pull output can sink up to 40 mA at 5 V, driving an LED requires current limiting and forward voltage consideration. At 3.3 V supply, VOL is 40–80 mV at 1 mA sink, but LED forward voltage typically exceeds 1.8 V - a series resistor must be used to limit current and avoid violating output voltage specifications.
Is there a lead-free and RoHS-compliant version of TS3021ILT?
Yes. TS3021ILT is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK2-compliant SOT23-5 package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. The device carries no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances above threshold limits, and is marked "RoHS" on reel packaging.
