Product details
Overview
TS331IQT from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel micropower rail-to-rail input comparator optimized for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered systems. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.0 V, draws only 20 µA typical supply current at 1.8 V, delivers 210 ns propagation delay (high-to-low) with 100 mV overdrive, and features open-drain output compatible with mixed-voltage logic interfaces in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TS331IQT datasheet, TS331IQT pinout, TS331IQT application, or TS331IQT equivalent, this device is selected for precision threshold detection in space-constrained, low-quiescent-power designs-especially where rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to VCC− and sub-250 ns response are required under 2.0 V supply.
Technical Context
The TS331IQT uses a CMOS input stage enabling rail-to-rail input voltage operation from (VCC−) −0.2 V to (VCC+) +0.2 V at 25 °C, with full specification across −40 °C to +125 °C. Its open-drain output supports wired-OR configurations and level-shifting without external pull-up constraints.
Propagation delay is tightly specified across supply voltages (1.8 V/2.7 V/5 V) and temperature, with TPHL = 210–270 ns (typ.) and TPLH = 420–450 ns (typ.) at 100 mV overdrive, enabling reliable timing-critical window or zero-crossing detection in low-power sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 5.0 V - enables direct operation from single Li-ion, Li-polymer, or two-cell alkaline batteries without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA typ. at 1.8 V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits (e.g., battery fuel gauging, wake-up triggers). |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.5–5 mV typ. - supports accurate voltage thresholding within ±5 mV error at room temperature. |
| Propagation Delay (TPHL) | 210 ns typ. at 100 mV overdrive, 1.8 V supply - ensures fast response for high-speed enable/disable control in power management. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (VCC−) −0.2 V to (VCC+) +0.2 V - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or rail in single-supply systems. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - permits flexible pull-up to higher or lower voltage rails and supports multi-comparator wired-OR outputs. |
| ESD Rating | 2 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge in portable assembly environments. |
Pinout & Package
TS331IQT is supplied in the SOT23-5 package (also designated SC70-5), a 5-pin surface-mount plastic package with 0.95 mm lead pitch and 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint. The exposed pad is not electrically connected.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (IN−) | Differential input terminal; accepts rail-to-rail common-mode signals from VCC− to VCC+. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (IN+) | Differential input terminal; used for reference or signal comparison with matched input bias performance. |
| 3 | Ground (VCC−) | Power return node; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane for stable operation. |
| 4 | Output (OUT) | Open-drain NMOS output; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and sink capability up to 22 mA. |
| 5 | Supply (VCC+) | Positive supply rail; supports 1.6–5.0 V operation with internal bias generation independent of load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Low-Power Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting end-of-discharge in a single-cell Li-ion battery (2.8 V cutoff) while minimizing standby current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares battery voltage against precision reference; open-drain output pulls MCU reset line low on undervoltage event. Use Value: 20 µA quiescent current extends shelf life; rail-to-rail input allows direct sensing without resistive divider scaling errors. |
Use Scenario: Converting analog output from a MEMS accelerometer into digital motion-triggered interrupt signal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold detector generating edge-triggered wake-up pulse when acceleration exceeds programmable g-level. Use Value: 210 ns TPHL ensures sub-microsecond latency; wide temperature range maintains accuracy across environmental variations. |
| USB Power Negotiation | Industrial PLC Input Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Validating VBUS presence and detecting USB detach events in portable host devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator monitors VBUS against 4.0 V threshold; open-drain output interfaces directly to 3.3 V GPIO with pull-up to VBUS. Use Value: 1.6 V minimum supply allows operation during brown-out; ESD tolerance prevents latch-up during hot-plug transients. |
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and noise-immune digital input conditioning for 24 V DC field signals in factory automation I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side comparator with resistor-divider input scales 24 V to safe range; output drives optocoupler LED via pull-up. Use Value: Rail-to-rail input accommodates wide common-mode swing; 2 kV HBM rating withstands industrial EMI coupling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower rail-to-rail comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3691IDBVR | Lower supply current (150 nA typ.), but slower propagation delay (5 µs min.) and narrower supply range (1.8–5.5 V). | Best suited for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits where speed is secondary to energy budget. | Select TLV3691IDBVR only when sub-µA quiescent current dominates over response time requirements. |
| MAX9021AUT+T | Higher supply current (60 µA typ.), faster TPHL (120 ns), but no rail-to-rail input and limited to 2.5–5.5 V operation. | Preferred in higher-voltage, speed-critical applications like motor phase detection where input range is less constrained. | Choose MAX9021AUT+T when propagation delay <150 ns is mandatory and supply ≥2.5 V is guaranteed. |
Compared with TLV3691IDBVR and MAX9021AUT+T, TS331IQT uniquely balances 20 µA quiescent current, 210 ns speed, rail-to-rail input, and 1.6 V minimum supply-making it optimal for battery-powered systems requiring both precision and responsiveness across wide voltage and temperature ranges.

FAQ
Is TS331IQT qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. TS331IQT is AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. Its electrical characteristics-including input offset voltage drift (≤4.5 µV/°C), supply current stability, and ESD tolerance (2 kV HBM)-are validated across this full automotive temperature range per standard test conditions.
Can TS331IQT drive an LED directly?
Yes. With a typical sink current capability of 22 mA at 1.8 V supply and VOL ≤30 mV at ISINK = 1 mA, TS331IQT's open-drain output can directly drive standard indicator LEDs using a series current-limiting resistor tied to VCC+. No external transistor buffer is needed for low-current indicators.
What is the maximum recommended pull-up resistor value for the open-drain output?
For reliable 3.3 V logic-high signaling with ≤100 ns rise time and 1.8 V supply, the maximum recommended pull-up resistor is 10 kΩ to 3.3 V. At 5 V supply and 25 °C, up to 47 kΩ is acceptable for slower interfaces (e.g., microcontroller GPIO with internal weak pull-ups disabled).
Does TS331IQT require external hysteresis for noisy input signals?
Yes. TS331IQT has no internal hysteresis. For inputs with >10 mV peak-to-peak noise, external positive feedback (e.g., 10 MΩ resistor from OUT to IN+) adds ~5–10 mV hysteresis, preventing multiple toggles near threshold. Layout best practices-short traces, local bypass capacitor-also reduce susceptibility.
