Product details
Overview
TSM934CSE+ from Silicon Labs is a quad micropower analog comparator with integrated 1.182V ±2% reference, ultra-low quiescent current (8.5μA max over temperature), push-pull TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs, and single/dual-supply operation from +2.5V to +11V or ±1.25V to ±5.5V. It serves as a drop-in replacement for MAX934 in battery-powered threshold detection and window comparator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TSM934CSE+ datasheet, TSM934CSE+ pinout, TSM934CSE+ application, or TSM934CSE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12μs propagation delay at 10mV overdrive, GND-referenced output swing (V+ to GND), internal reference accuracy, 16-pin SOIC package, and absence of HYST pin (unlike TSM931–TSM933).
Technical Context
The TSM934CSE+ integrates four independent comparators sharing a common internal 1.182V reference and operates across an input common-mode range from V− to V+ − 1.3V. Its push-pull output stage sources/sinks up to 40mA continuously while maintaining sub-9μA supply current over 0°C to +70°C.
Unlike TSM931–TSM933, the TSM934CSE+ lacks a dedicated HYST pin; hysteresis must be implemented externally via positive feedback networks on each comparator input pair. It supports low-voltage operation down to 1.5V supply (with degraded reference functionality below 2.2V) and features crowbar-current-free switching to eliminate output glitches during transitions.
Key Specifications

| Reference Voltage | 1.182V ±2% (0°C to +70°C) - provides stable trip-point generation without external voltage source |
| Output Drive | Sources/sinks 40mA continuously - directly drives LEDs, logic inputs, or small MOSFET gates without buffer stages |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− to V+ − 1.3V - supports rail-to-rail input sensing in single-supply systems |
| Supply Range | +2.5V to +11V (single) or ±1.25V to ±5.5V (dual) - compatible with 3V/5V logic rails and legacy bipolar supplies |

Applications
| Threshold Detector | Window Comparator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage to trigger low-battery warning at 3.3V and shutdown at 2.8V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM934CSE+ uses two comparators (A/B) with resistor dividers to generate independent high/low thresholds against internal 1.182V reference. Use Value: Eliminates external reference and reduces component count by 3–4 parts versus discrete op-amp + reference solution. | Use Scenario: Validating 5V supply rail stays within 4.75V–5.25V tolerance band in industrial controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM934CSE+ channels A and B compare upper/lower bounds; outputs ANDed to generate "power-good" signal. Use Value: Achieves <12μs response to over/undervoltage events - faster than typical supervisor ICs with built-in hysteresis. |
| Bar-Graph Level Gauge | Level Translator |
Use Scenario: Driving four LEDs to indicate analog sensor output (e.g., light intensity or temperature) in 25% increments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM934CSE+ channels A–D compare scaled input against fixed reference ladder; each output directly sources LED current. Use Value: 40mA per output drives standard LEDs without series transistors - cuts PCB area and cost vs buffered designs. | Use Scenario: Converting ±5V analog signals from legacy test equipment to 0–5V TTL logic levels for MCU ADC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TSM934CSE+ acts as rail-to-rail input translator; IN+ referenced to REF, IN− tied to input; output swings 0–5V. Use Value: Input protection resistors (10kΩ) prevent damage from ±5V transients while preserving <14μs response time. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator with reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX934CSA+ | Pin-compatible, identical pinout and electrical specs; same 1.182V reference, 8.5μA max supply current, and SOIC-16 package. | No functional difference - direct second-source part with identical performance and layout compatibility. | Select MAX934CSA+ when dual-sourcing is required for supply chain resilience without redesign. |
| LM339DR | Quad comparator only - no internal reference; requires external 1.182V or adjustable reference; higher 2mA supply current; open-collector outputs require pull-ups. | Not suitable for space-constrained or ultra-low-power applications; adds 2–3 passive components and increases quiescent draw 235×. | Choose LM339DR only if reference flexibility or cost sensitivity outweighs power and integration benefits of TSM934CSE+. |
Compared with MAX934CSA+, TSM934CSE+ offers identical functionality and drop-in compatibility; compared with LM339DR, it delivers 235× lower supply current, integrated reference, push-pull outputs eliminating pull-up resistors, and guaranteed 12μs propagation delay - making it optimal for battery-powered and compact designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for TSM934CSE+?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for TSM934CSE+ is +12V between V+ and V−. The recommended operating range is +2.5V to +11V for single-supply use or ±1.25V to ±5.5V for dual-supply configurations. Exceeding +12V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 2 of the datasheet. TSM934CSE+ maintains full functionality across its specified range, including reference accuracy and 12μs propagation delay at 10mV overdrive.
Does TSM934CSE+ include hysteresis capability?
TSM934CSE+ does not feature a dedicated HYST pin like TSM931–TSM933. Hysteresis must be implemented externally using positive feedback resistors on each comparator input pair. The datasheet provides detailed design equations and examples (pages 13–14) for setting precise hysteresis bands (e.g., 50mV) using standard 1% resistors. This architecture gives full per-channel control but requires two additional resistors per comparator versus the integrated HYST option.
Can TSM934CSE+ operate from a 1.8V supply?
TSM934CSE+ can function down to 1.5V supply, but with trade-offs: the internal 1.182V reference ceases operation below 2.2V, and propagation delay increases significantly. At 1.8V, comparators remain active with valid output swing (V+ to GND), but reference-dependent functions (e.g., fixed-threshold detection) require an external reference. Performance validation across voltage and temperature is essential - see "Low-Voltage Operation" section on page 12 of the datasheet for characterization data.
What is the output voltage swing of TSM934CSE+?
TSM934CSE+ features push-pull TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs that swing from V+ to GND. With V+ = 5V and IOUT = 1.8mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V and VOH ≥ V+ − 0.4V = 4.6V (page 5). This rail-to-rail output capability eliminates need for pull-up resistors and allows direct interfacing with 3.3V/5V logic families. Output drive strength remains stable across 0°C to +70°C, supporting continuous 40mA sourcing/sinking per channel.
Is TSM934CSE+ pin-compatible with MAX934?
Yes, TSM934CSE+ is electrically and form-factor identical to MAX934, as confirmed on page 1 ("electrically and form-factor identical to the MAX931–MAX934 family"). Both use 16-pin SOIC packages with identical pin assignments (page 10), supply ranges, reference specs, and output characteristics. No PCB changes are required when substituting TSM934CSE+ for MAX934CSA+ in existing designs - making it a true drop-in alternate source.
