Product details
Overview
TS7221BILT from STMicroelectronics is a single BiCMOS rail-to-rail micropower comparator in SOT23-5 package, designed for low-voltage sensing in battery-constrained systems. It operates from 2.7 V to 10 V, draws only 6 µA typical supply current at 5 V, achieves 0.5 µs response time (100 mV overdrive), and features open-drain output with rail-to-rail input range - enabling precise threshold detection in portable security alarms and PCMCIA power supervisors.
For engineers reviewing the TS7221BILT datasheet, TS7221BILT pinout, TS7221BILT application, or TS7221BILT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated SOT23-5 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in mobile communications and battery monitoring, and two functionally aligned alternatives with documented parameter differences.
Technical Context
The TS7221BILT uses a BiCMOS input stage to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode input range (–0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V) across its full 2.7–10 V supply range, while maintaining ultra-low input bias current (1–600 pA) and low input offset voltage drift (6 µV/°C). Its open-drain output supports wired-OR logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection independent of VCC.
Specified over –40 °C to +85 °C, the device delivers consistent 7–18 mV input offset voltage (B-grade), 70–75 dB CMRR (at 5 V and 10 V), and 80 dB PSRR - making it suitable for precision analog monitoring where supply ripple and temperature variation must not compromise trip-point accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 10 V - supports direct operation from single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (Typ.) | 6 µA at 5 V - enables >1-year battery life in always-on alarm sensors powered by CR2032 cells. |
| Response Time | 0.5 µs (100 mV overdrive) - detects fast transients in mobile comms power sequencing and overvoltage fault conditions. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 10 mV (typ.), 18 mV (max) - ensures reliable 50 mV hysteresis implementation for noise-immune window comparators. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V - allows direct sensing of ground-referenced signals and VCC-tied references without resistor dividers. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - permits bidirectional logic-level translation and shared-bus signaling in multi-sensor systems. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM, 200 V MM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for handheld device front-end protection. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.3 mm body, 0.95 mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant ECOPACK®.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC– (GND) | Ground reference for internal circuitry and output pull-down path; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 2 | IN+ | Non-inverting input; accepts rail-to-rail voltages from –0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V for direct sensor interface. |
| 3 | IN– | Inverting input; matched to IN+ for differential sensing; low input bias current minimizes divider error. |
| 4 | OUT | Open-drain output; sinks up to 5 mA; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and drive load. |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; powers internal BiCMOS core; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 2 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Enables direct connection of 0 V–5 V thermistor dividers or battery voltage monitors without attenuation or clamping diodes. |
| 6 µA supply current (5 V) | Reduces quiescent power to <30 µW - critical for coin-cell-powered smoke detectors requiring 10-year shelf life. |
| 0.5 µs propagation delay (100 mV overdrive) | Supports 1 MHz signal edge detection in cellular RF power amplifier enable/disable control loops. |
| Open-drain output with 5 mA sink capability | Allows direct interfacing to 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic buses via single pull-up resistor - no level shifter required. |
| –40 °C to +85 °C operating range | Validated performance across industrial ambient conditions, including automotive cabin and outdoor PDA environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3701IDBVR | Higher supply current (1.6 µA typ. at 5 V), faster response (1.5 µs), but only 2.7–16 V supply range. | Preferred in wide-input-voltage industrial sensors; less optimal for strict <10 µA battery budgets. | Select when higher speed justifies 3× higher quiescent current and wider VCC tolerance is needed. |
| MAX9021AUT+T | Lower input offset (1.5 mV max), but higher supply current (12 µA typ.), no rail-to-rail inputs (VCM = 0.2–VCC–0.2 V). | Better for precision reference comparison; unsuitable for ground-sensing or high-side current monitor inputs. | Select only when sub-2 mV offset dominates design priority and input range constraints are acceptable. |
Compared with TLV3701IDBVR and MAX9021AUT+T, the TS7221BILT uniquely balances ultra-low power (6 µA), rail-to-rail input capability, and 0.5 µs speed - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems requiring both precision and responsiveness without supply headroom trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum sink current capability of the TS7221BILT output?
The TS7221BILT open-drain output is specified to sink up to 5 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.45 V at 5 V supply and –40 °C to +85 °C. This allows direct driving of LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic inputs with standard pull-up resistors down to 1 kΩ without external buffering.
Can the TS7221BILT operate with a 1.8 V supply?
No. The absolute minimum supply voltage is 2.7 V per Table 2 (Operating Conditions), and electrical characteristics are guaranteed only from 2.7 V to 10 V. At 1.8 V, internal biasing fails and the device will not function reliably - use TS881ILT (1.4 V min) instead for ultra-low-voltage designs.
Is the TS7221BILT pin-compatible with the TS7221AILT?
Yes. Both TS7221AILT and TS7221BILT share identical SOT23-5 pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface. The only difference is input offset voltage grade: A-grade (7–15 mV) vs. B-grade (10–18 mV); all other parameters and PCB layout are interchangeable.
Does the TS7221BILT require external hysteresis for noise immunity?
Not inherently - but recommended for noisy environments. The device has no internal hysteresis; external positive feedback (e.g., 10 MΩ from OUT to IN+) adds ~5 mV hysteresis. This is essential when comparing slowly varying signals like battery voltage near cutoff thresholds to prevent chatter.
