Product details
Overview
TSM9119EXK+ from Silicon Laboratories is a nanopower, rail-to-rail input comparator without internal reference, housed in a 5-pin SC70 package. It operates down to +1.6V supply voltage, draws only 350nA supply current at 1.6V, features 4mV internal hysteresis and ±200mV beyond-the-rails input voltage range, and delivers push-pull output capable of ±5mA drive - ideal for ultra-low-power battery monitoring in 2-cell systems.
For engineers reviewing the TSM9119EXK+ datasheet, TSM9119EXK+ pinout, TSM9119EXK+ application, or TSM9119EXK+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 350nA supply current at 1.6V, absence of integrated reference, push-pull output architecture, guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with nanopower sensing at ground or supply line.
Technical Context
The TSM9119EXK+ implements a robust CMOS input stage enabling input voltages from VEE – 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V and delivering <1nA input bias current. Its internal hysteresis band is fixed at 4mV (input-referred), eliminating external components for noise-immune threshold detection.
Its push-pull output stage drives rail-to-rail loads up to ±5mA with VOH ≤ 400mV below VCC and VOL ≤ 400mV above VEE at 5V supply, while propagation delays are 15µs (low-to-high) and 16µs (high-to-low) at 1.6V supply - optimized for stable switching in low-voltage, low-frequency monitoring circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6V to 5.5V - enables direct operation from single Li-ion or dual alkaline cells without regulation. |
| Supply Current | 350nA at 1.6V - extends battery life to >5 million hours in always-on 2-cell alkaline applications. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1–5mV (typical) - ensures accurate threshold detection within ±5mV error at room temperature. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE – 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - supports sensing at ground or supply rail without level-shifting. |
| Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and simplifies interface to digital logic or MCU inputs. |
| Propagation Delay | 15µs (tPD+) / 16µs (tPD–) at 1.6V - provides predictable timing for slow-varying signals like battery voltage decay. |
| Hysteresis | 4mV (input-referred) - prevents chatter near trip points without external feedback components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm height), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel delivery (3000 pcs/reel).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Push-pull output - actively drives high/low; compatible with CMOS/TTL inputs without pull-up. |
| 2 | VEE | Negative supply terminal - typically connected to GND in single-supply configurations. |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts signals up to 0.2V beyond VEE or VCC for ground- or rail-referenced sensing. |
| 4 | IN– | Inverting input - used for fixed reference comparison or zero-crossing detection when tied to GND. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply terminal - powers device and sets output high-level swing; supports 1.6V–5.5V operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal on overdriven inputs | Enables reliable operation even when IN+ or IN– exceed supply rails by 200mV - critical for unregulated battery sensing. |
| Crowbar-current-free switching | Eliminates supply current surges during output transitions - reduces need for large bypass capacitors in space-constrained designs. |
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Supports direct connection to ground (IN–) and battery anode (IN+) in 2-cell monitors without external biasing. |
| Guaranteed 1.6V operation | Permits full functionality down to end-of-life battery voltage (~1.8V per cell), maximizing usable capacity. |
| Internal 4mV hysteresis | Provides built-in noise immunity for clean switching in noisy industrial or mobile environments - no external resistors required. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9119ASA+ | Pin-compatible, same 5-pin SC70 package and push-pull output; identical 350nA supply current and 1.6V min supply, but lacks guaranteed –40°C to +85°C temp range specification. | Not qualified for extended industrial temperature operation; unsuitable for medical or automotive ambient environments. | Select MAX9119ASA+ only for commercial-temp consumer applications where cost is prioritized over temperature assurance. |
| TSM9117EXK+ | Same SC70 package and push-pull output, but includes integrated 1.252V ±1.75% reference; draws 600nA instead of 350nA. | Eliminates external reference component but increases supply current by 71%; reference output adds pin (REF) and requires decoupling. | Choose TSM9117EXK+ when reference integration justifies higher current and board area trade-off - e.g., space-constrained single-threshold systems. |
Compared with MAX9119ASA+, TSM9119EXK+ offers guaranteed industrial temperature performance and tighter hysteresis control; compared with TSM9117EXK+, it reduces supply current by 42% and removes reference-related layout complexity - making it optimal for minimal-footprint, ultra-low-quiescent battery monitors.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the TSM9119EXK+?
The TSM9119EXK+ is guaranteed to operate down to +1.6V across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. At 1.6V, it maintains 350nA supply current, 4mV hysteresis, and functional push-pull output swing - enabling use directly from aging alkaline or lithium primary cells without regulation.
Does the TSM9119EXK+ include an internal voltage reference?
No, the TSM9119EXK+ does not include an internal voltage reference. It is the comparator-only variant in the TSM9117–TSM9120 family. Reference functionality is provided only in TSM9117EXK+ and TSM9118EXK+, which integrate a 1.252V ±1.75% reference. The TSM9119EXK+ requires an external reference or ground/supply-rail-based threshold.
What is the purpose of the internal 4mV hysteresis in the TSM9119EXK+?
The internal 4mV hysteresis in the TSM9119EXK+ prevents output oscillation when input signals hover near the trip point due to noise or slow slew rates. It creates distinct high-to-low and low-to-high switching thresholds, ensuring clean, chatter-free transitions - eliminating the need for external positive-feedback resistors in most low-speed monitoring applications.
Can the TSM9119EXK+ be used for zero-crossing detection?
Yes, the TSM9119EXK+ is well-suited for zero-crossing detection. With IN– connected to ground and IN+ receiving an AC-coupled signal, its rail-to-rail input stage (extending 200mV below GND) and 4mV hysteresis provide accurate, noise-immune crossing detection - as validated in Silicon Labs' Application Note Figure 5 for TSM9119-based zero-crossing circuits.
What package type and marking code does the TSM9119EXK+ use?
The TSM9119EXK+ is supplied in a 5-pin SC70 package with tape-and-reel packaging (3000 units per reel). Its top-side marking is "TAC", as specified in the Silicon Labs ordering table on Page 2 of the TSM9117–TSM9120 datasheet revision 1.0.
