Product details
Overview
TS374CDT from STMicroelectronics is a quad CMOS voltage comparator with rail-to-rail input (including GND) and TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs, operating from 3V to 16V single supply or ±1.5V to ±8V dual supply, featuring 0.1mA per comparator supply current, 1pA typical input bias current, and 200ns typical response time. It is used in precision level detection and window comparators in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TS374CDT datasheet, TS374CDT pinout, TS374CDT application, or TS374CDT equivalent, key selection considerations include input offset voltage (≤12mV), common-mode range (0 to VCC+−2.5V), output saturation voltage (≤700mV at 4mA), low-power operation (250µA max ICC per comparator), and SO14 package thermal performance (RthJA = 150°C/W).
Technical Context
The TS374CDT integrates four independent comparators fabricated using ST's silicon-gate LinCMOS process, enabling ultra-low input bias current (1pA typ) and high input impedance (1012Ω typ). Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to ground, eliminating need for level-shifting in single-supply systems.
Each comparator delivers fast switching (200ns typ for TTL-level steps) with low output saturation (150mV typ at light load), and drives TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic directly without pull-up resistors. Absolute maximum ratings include ±18V differential input and 18V supply, with operational VCC+ from 3V to 16V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DT | Bipolar input (250nA IIB), higher ICC (0.8mA), slower (1.3µs), no rail-to-rail input | Requires level-shifting for ground-sensed signals; unsuitable for ultra-low-power or high-impedance nodes | Choose LM339DT only if cost is primary constraint and input impedance >1MΩ is acceptable. |
| TLV3704IDR | CMOS input (1pA IIB), lower ICC (80µA), rail-to-rail input/output, but max VCC = 16V only | Superior low-power and precision, but lacks dual-supply flexibility (±1.5V to ±8V) of TS374CDT | Prefer TLV3704IDR for battery-only designs needing lowest ICC; retain TS374CDT for dual-supply industrial systems. |
Compared with LM339DT and TLV3704IDR, TS374CDT uniquely balances ultra-low IIB, dual-supply support, and TTL-compatible outputs - making it optimal for mixed-rail industrial control where ground-referenced sensing and legacy logic interfacing coexist.

FAQ
Can TS374CDT operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes. TS374CDT supports single-supply operation from 3V to 16V. At 3.3V, its input common-mode range extends from 0V to 0.8V (VCC+−2.5V), and output saturation remains ≤700mV at 4mA, ensuring compatibility with 3.3V logic families when used with appropriate pull-up configuration.
Does TS374CDT require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No. TS374CDT outputs are fully compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic without external pull-ups due to their active pull-down architecture and guaranteed low saturation voltage (≤700mV at 4mA). Pull-ups are optional only when interfacing with open-collector systems or requiring wired-OR functionality.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance for TS374CDT in SO14 package?
The TS374CDT SO14 package has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and a thermal resistance RthJA of 150°C/W at Tamb = +25°C. This allows continuous operation at full 250µA per comparator (1mA total) with ≤75°C junction rise above ambient under standard PCB layout conditions.
How does TS374CDT handle input overvoltage beyond absolute maximum ratings?
TS374CDT includes ESD protection diodes on inputs rated for 50mA forward current. Inputs tolerate differential voltages up to ±18V and common-mode voltages up to 18V, but sustained overvoltage beyond these limits risks permanent damage. External clamping or series resistors are recommended for transient-prone environments like industrial I/O.
