Product details
Overview
TS374CD from STMicroelectronics is a quad CMOS voltage comparator with rail-to-rail input (including ground), 200 ns typical response time, 1 pA typical input bias current, 0.1 mA supply current per comparator, and TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs-used in precision threshold detection in battery-powered instrumentation and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TS374CD datasheet, TS374CD pinout, TS374CD application, or TS374CD equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage (≤12 mV), common-mode range (0 V to VCC−2 V), low-power operation (250 µA/comparator max), and SO14 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS374CD implements four independent high-impedance CMOS comparators using ST's silicon-gate lin MOS process, enabling single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V or dual supplies of ±1.5 V to ±8 V. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to ground, eliminating level-shifting needs in low-side sensing.
Each comparator delivers fast 200 ns propagation delay under TTL-level step excitation with 5.1 kΩ load and 15 pF capacitance, while maintaining low output saturation voltage (100–700 mV at 4 mA sink) and high open-circuit output impedance (>1012 Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V single supply or ±1.5 V to ±8 V dual supply - enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V systems without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV (min), 10 mV (typ), 12 mV (max) - determines minimum detectable differential signal in precision zero-crossing or window detection. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA (typ) - permits use with high-impedance sources (e.g., photodiodes, pH electrodes) without significant error. |
| Response Time | 200 ns (typ) for TTL-level input step - supports real-time monitoring of fast transients in motor control feedback or pulse-width discrimination. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 100 mV (min), 400 mV (typ), 700 mV (max) at 4 mA sink - ensures reliable logic-low recognition by 5 V TTL and 3.3 V CMOS receivers. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC−2 V - allows direct connection to grounded sensors or shunt resistors without external biasing networks. |
| Supply Current per Comparator | 150 µA (min), 250 µA (typ), 350 µA (max) - supports multi-comparator designs in energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered devices. |
Pinout & Package
TS374CD is housed in a 14-pin SO (Small Outline) plastic micropackage (SO14), measuring 8.55–8.75 mm × 5.8–6.2 mm × 1.75 mm height, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing terminations suitable for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input, Comp 1 | Accepts reference or inverted signal path for first comparator; referenced to ground or system common. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input, Comp 1 | Receives sensed signal (e.g., from thermistor divider); supports rail-to-rail common-mode range. |
| 3 | Output, Comp 1 | Open-drain compatible CMOS/TTL output; sinks up to 6 mA, requires external pull-up for high-level assertion. |
| 4 | VCC− (GND) | Ground reference for single-supply operation; connects to system 0 V plane with low-inductance path. |
| 5 | Non-inverting Input, Comp 2 | Second comparator input; electrically isolated from others-enables independent threshold setting. |
| 6 | Inverting Input, Comp 2 | Paired with Pin 5 for differential comparison; shares same input specs (1 pA bias, rail-to-rail range). |
| 7 | Output, Comp 2 | Independent digital output; drives LED indicators, microcontroller GPIO, or latch inputs directly. |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply terminal; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm for noise immunity. |
| 9 | Inverting Input, Comp 3 | Third comparator input; layout symmetry recommended to match trace lengths with Pin 10 for matched propagation delay. |
| 10 | Non-inverting Input, Comp 3 | Supports high-impedance source connection; no internal hysteresis-external resistor network needed for noise rejection. |
| 11 | Output, Comp 3 | Active-low output; compatible with standard logic families without level translation. |
| 12 | Non-inverting Input, Comp 4 | Fourth comparator input; usable as window comparator upper threshold when paired with Pin 13. |
| 13 | Inverting Input, Comp 4 | Paired with Pin 12 for window or over/under-voltage detection; identical electrical specs to other inputs. |
| 14 | Output, Comp 4 | Final comparator output; routed separately to avoid crosstalk with analog-sensitive traces. |

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Sensor Threshold Detector |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charging/discharging to trigger cutoff at 2.5 V undervoltage and 4.3 V overvoltage thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator configured as dual-window detector (Pins 1–3 and 12–14), comparing divided battery voltage against precision references. Use Value: Enables accurate, low-quiescent-power protection without microcontroller intervention-extends standby time by >30% vs. active-sensing solutions. | Use Scenario: Detecting temperature crossing of 25 °C and 70 °C thresholds using NTC thermistor voltage dividers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two comparators (Pins 5–7 and 9–11) compare thermistor output against fixed reference voltages generated by resistor ladders. Use Value: Provides immediate hardware-level thermal shutdown before firmware-based polling can respond-critical for fan control and power-stage safety. |
| Motor Stall Detection | Optical Pulse Discriminator |
Use Scenario: Identifying stalled DC motor condition by detecting sustained current rise above 1.2 A via shunt resistor voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator (Pins 1–3) compares amplified shunt voltage to adjustable threshold; output triggers PWM disable. Use Value: Responds within 300 ns to stall onset-prevents coil overheating and driver FET failure before thermal protection activates. | Use Scenario: Filtering ambient light noise from IR receiver pulses by rejecting signals below 2.5 V peak amplitude and <10 µs duration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Cascaded comparators (Pins 5–7 → Pins 12–14) implement amplitude and timing discrimination using RC-delayed enable. Use Value: Achieves >60 dB ambient rejection ratio with <200 ns jitter-enables reliable IR remote decoding in daylight conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad CMOS voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Bipolar input (250 nA bias current), wider supply range (2–36 V), slower response (1.3 µs), higher supply current (0.8 mA/comparator) | Less suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces but more robust in industrial 24 V systems with EMI | Select when interfacing with 24 V PLC I/O or where input overvoltage tolerance >±36 V is required. |
| TLV3704IDR | CMOS input (1 pA bias), rail-to-rail input/output, lower supply current (80 µA/comparator), faster response (120 ns), narrower supply (2.7–16 V) | Better for ultra-low-power and high-speed applications but lacks extended temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C only) | Select when optimizing for sub-100 µA total quiescent current or sub-200 ns timing-critical edge detection. |
Compared with LM339DR and TLV3704IDR, TS374CD offers the best balance of ultra-low input bias current, ground-sensing capability, and industrial temperature support (0°C to +70°C), making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated instrumentation requiring four independent comparators in SO14.

FAQ
Can TS374CD operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes. TS374CD supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V. At 3.3 V, its input common-mode range extends from 0 V to 1.3 V (VCC−2 V), and output low saturation remains ≤400 mV at 4 mA sink-ensuring reliable logic-low assertion into 3.3 V CMOS inputs.
Does TS374CD include internal hysteresis?
No. TS374CD has no internal hysteresis. External positive feedback (e.g., 10 MΩ resistor from output to non-inverting input) must be added to prevent oscillation when comparing slowly varying or noisy signals near the threshold.
What is the maximum capacitive load the TS374CD output can drive?
TS374CD output is specified with CL = 15 pF in switching tests. Driving >50 pF may increase propagation delay beyond 200 ns and cause ringing; for loads >30 pF, add a 50 Ω series resistor adjacent to the output pin to dampen reflections.
Is TS374CD pin-compatible with TS374CN (DIP-14)?
Yes-both share identical pin numbering and electrical specifications. The only difference is package: TS374CD uses SO14 (surface-mount), TS374CN uses DIP14 (through-hole). Layout adaptation is required for footprint, but schematic design and net connectivity remain unchanged.
