Product details
Overview
TS3121IYLT from STMicroelectronics is a rail-to-rail input, open-drain single comparator with 60 ns propagation delay (typ.), 2 mV max offset voltage (A-grade), 70 μA typical supply current, and operation from 1.7 to 5.5 V. It features built-in hysteresis (1 mV), power-on reset capability (in P-version), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use in overcurrent protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TS3121IYLT datasheet, TS3121IYLT pinout, TS3121IYLT application, or TS3121IYLT equivalent, this device supports high-speed, low-power sensing in space-constrained industrial and automotive systems requiring guaranteed start-up time, extended temperature operation (–40 °C to +125 °C), and output voltage tolerance beyond VCC.
Technical Context
The TS3121IYLT implements a precision comparator architecture with rail-to-rail input common-mode range (–0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V) and open-drain output capable of sinking up to 140 mA at 5 V. Its internal hysteresis (1 mV) eliminates oscillation near threshold without external components.
It operates across 1.7–5.5 V supply and delivers stable performance over –40 °C to +125 °C, with input bias current as low as 5 pA (typ.) and CMRR of 70 dB (min.). The device guarantees ≤15 µs start-up time and exhibits <20 µV/°C input offset drift.

Pinout & Package
TS3121IYLT is housed in a SC70-5 (SOT23-5) package - a 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm surface-mount outline with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Open-drain output | Sinks current only; requires external pull-up for logic-high; withstands voltages > VCC |
| 2 (VCC–) | Negative supply terminal | Reference ground for dual-supply operation; supports single-supply use when tied to GND |
| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | Rail-to-rail capable; accepts signals from –0.2 V to VCC+ + 0.2 V |
| 4 (IN–) | Inverting input | Rail-to-rail capable; differential input voltage range ±0.3 V relative to VCC– |
| 5 (VCC+) | Positive supply terminal | Accepts 1.7–5.5 V; powers internal circuitry and defines output swing reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C), certified for automotive powertrain and body electronics |
| Rail-to-rail input | Common-mode range extends 0.2 V beyond supply rails, maximizing dynamic range in low-voltage systems |
| Open-drain output with over-VCC tolerance | Output pin safely interfaces with higher-voltage buses (up to 6 V) without level-shifting |
| Guaranteed start-up time | ≤15 µs after VCC exceeds 1.5 V, ensuring deterministic behavior in power sequencing |
| High ESD immunity | 4 kV HBM rating reduces risk of field failure during assembly and operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3021ILT | Push-pull output (no external pull-up required); 40 ns propagation delay; 100 μA ICC | Better for driving capacitive loads directly; unsuitable where wired-OR or level-shifting is needed | Select when output drive strength and speed outweigh open-drain flexibility |
| TS3011ILT | Higher speed (25 ns typ.); 120 μA ICC; same SC70-5 package; no built-in hysteresis | Requires external hysteresis resistor network; less suitable for noisy industrial environments | Select when sub-30 ns response is mandatory and board area allows external components |
Compared with TS3121IYLT, TS3021ILT offers faster push-pull switching but sacrifices over-VCC output tolerance, while TS3011ILT achieves greater speed at the cost of design complexity and higher power-making TS3121IYLT optimal for robust, low-power, space-constrained sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current for TS3121IYLT at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and T = 25 °C, the TS3121IYLT guarantees a minimum sink current of 45 mA (typ. 35 mA, max. 70 mA) with VOL ≤ 50 mV at 1 mA load. This enables direct driving of LEDs, optocouplers, or logic inputs without external buffers.
Does TS3121IYLT include internal hysteresis, and how is it implemented?
Yes, TS3121IYLT integrates 1 mV of internal hysteresis, defined as the voltage difference between rising and falling input thresholds. It is implemented via internal positive feedback and requires no external components-reducing PCB area and improving noise immunity in motor control or power supply monitoring.
Can TS3121IYLT operate with a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, TS3121IYLT is fully specified down to 1.7 V supply. At 1.8 V, it maintains 60 ns propagation delay (typ.), 78–81 μA supply current, and rail-to-rail input operation with VICM from –0.2 V to 2.0 V-making it suitable for modern ultra-low-voltage IoT and portable systems.
How does the TS3121IYLT differ from the TS3121P version?
The TS3121IYLT corresponds to the standard TS3121 (or TS3121A) variant without Power-on Reset (PoR). The TS3121P adds an embedded PoR circuit that forces the output low during power ramp-up until VCC stabilizes above 1.5 V-critical for fail-safe startup in safety-critical automotive modules.
