Product details
Overview
TSM933CUA+ from Silicon Labs is a dual-channel, micropower analog comparator with integrated 1.182V ±2% reference and adjustable hysteresis, operating from +2.5V to +11V single supply or ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supply. It draws ≤6μA max supply current over temperature, delivers 12μs propagation delay at 10mV overdrive, and features push-pull TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs sourcing/sinking up to 40mA - ideal for battery-powered window detectors and low-voltage threshold monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TSM933CUA+ datasheet, TSM933CUA+ pinout, TSM933CUA+ application, or TSM933CUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-comparator architecture with internal reference, hysteresis control via dedicated HYST pin, rail-to-rail input range (V− to V+ −1.3V), and MSOP-8 package compatibility with SOIC-8 footprints.
Technical Context
The TSM933CUA+ integrates two independent comparators sharing a common 1.182V reference and hysteresis control path. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from V− to V+ −1.3V, enabling direct sensing near ground in single-supply systems. The push-pull output stage eliminates crowbar current during switching and sustains continuous 40mA source capability without increasing quiescent current.
Hysteresis is implemented externally via the HYST pin using two resistors between REF and V−, generating a programmable band up to 100mV. Input offset voltage is ±10mV max, and voltage noise is 20μVRMS (100Hz–100kHz), supporting stable operation in noisy, low-power sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Threshold Detector | Window Comparator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage to trigger low-battery warning at 3.2V and disable system at 2.8V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator configures one channel as undervoltage detector (INB− = 3.2V ref), second as fail-safe cutoff (INA− = 2.8V ref), both using shared REF and HYST. Use Value: Eliminates external reference and reduces BOM count by 3 components versus discrete solutions while maintaining ±10mV trip accuracy. | Use Scenario: Validating 5V supply integrity in embedded controllers with 4.5V–5.5V acceptable range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM933CUA+ implements dual-threshold detection: OUTA asserts low below 4.5V, OUTB asserts low above 5.5V; AND-gated output yields clean power-good signal. Use Value: Internal 1.182V reference and HYST pin enable <100mV hysteresis per threshold without resistor divider errors or layout sensitivity. |
| Oscillator Circuit | Battery-Powered System |
Use Scenario: Building relaxation oscillator for LED blink timing using hysteresis feedback and RC network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator A forms hysteresis loop with REF and HYST pins; capacitor charges/discharges between trip points set by R1/R2 network. Use Value: 12μs propagation delay and 40mA drive ensure stable oscillation frequency stability across 2.5–11V supply range with no external buffers needed. | Use Scenario: Enabling ultra-low-power wake-up in wireless sensor nodes triggered by analog event (e.g., motion, light). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM933CUA+ monitors sensor output against reference; one comparator wakes MCU via interrupt, second validates signal persistence via hysteresis. Use Value: 6μA total supply current allows continuous monitoring for months on CR2032, with sub-10μs response ensuring no event loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator with reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX933ESA+ | Pin- and function-compatible; identical electrical specs; same 8-pin SOIC/MSOP footprint and HYST/REF architecture. | No functional difference; validated drop-in replacement per Silicon Labs' alternate-source documentation. | Select MAX933ESA+ only if legacy MAX-designated BOMs require exact part-number continuity. |
| TLV3702IDR | No integrated reference; requires external 1.2V reference; higher 17μA supply current; 360μs propagation delay. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where reference is already present; not viable for space-constrained or ultra-low-power applications. | Choose TLV3702IDR only when reference sharing across multiple ICs justifies added complexity and current penalty. |
Compared with MAX933ESA+, TSM933CUA+ offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility, while TLV3702IDR trades integrated reference and micropower operation for lower unit cost - making TSM933CUA+ optimal for new designs prioritizing BOM reduction and battery life.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for TSM933CUA+?
The TSM933CUA+ supports a maximum single-supply voltage of +11V and a maximum dual-supply voltage of ±5.5V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ to V− must not exceed 12V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. Operation at 11V is fully characterized per datasheet specifications, including supply current, propagation delay, and output drive capability - all confirmed for TSM933CUA+ across temperature.
Does TSM933CUA+ support true rail-to-rail input operation?
TSM933CUA+ supports input common-mode voltage from V− to V+ −1.3V - meaning it operates down to the negative rail but does not reach the positive rail. This allows ground-sensing in single-supply systems but requires ≥1.3V headroom from V+. The specification is verified across −40°C to +85°C and applies to both INB+ and INB− pins. No external biasing is needed for V−-referenced signals.
Can the internal reference of TSM933CUA+ be used to bias external circuitry?
Yes, the REF pin of TSM933CUA+ can source up to 25μA and sink up to 15μA while maintaining ±2% accuracy over 0°C to +70°C. It is explicitly designed to drive external resistor networks for hysteresis or threshold setting. Datasheet Figure 2 confirms REF-driven hysteresis design; bypassing REF is not recommended, and loading beyond 25μA degrades reference accuracy and stability.
How is hysteresis configured on TSM933CUA+?
Hysteresis on TSM933CUA+ is configured using the HYST pin with two external resistors: R1 between REF and HYST, and R2 between HYST and V−. The hysteresis band equals twice the voltage difference between REF and HYST, up to 100mV. This method is documented in datasheet Page 13 and requires no additional ICs. The HYST pin voltage must stay within REF −50mV to REF to avoid invalid operation.
Is TSM933CUA+ pin-compatible with SOIC-8 packages?
Yes, TSM933CUA+ uses an 8-pin MSOP package with 0.65mm pitch and 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, which shares identical pin numbering and function mapping with SOIC-8 variants (e.g., TSM933CSA+). Mechanical drawings confirm full PCB footprint compatibility, though MSOP requires adjusted stencil aperture and reflow profile due to smaller pad size and thermal mass.
