TLV3401CD

Comparators Overview

The TLV3401CD is a single-channel nanopower comparator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an open-drain output and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 16 V, or ±1.25 V to ±8 V in dual-supply configurations. The device supports both surface-mount and through-hole installations, with the 'CD' suffix indicating an 8-pin SOIC package. It functions across a standard industrial temperature range from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Nanopower consumption for extended battery life
• Open-drain output configuration
• Wide single or dual supply voltage operation

Comparators Applications

• Battery-powered monitoring systems
• Threshold detection circuits
• General-purpose signal comparison

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB footprint and operating environment specifications before procurement.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when low quiescent current is critical and an open-drain interface is acceptable. Confirm that the load can pull the output line high, as the device lacks internal pull-up mechanisms. Validate that the application voltage remains within the specified 2.5 V to 16 V operational limits.

Comparators Part Context

This part belongs to the TLV34xx series of LinCMOS comparators designed for ultra-low power applications. It serves as a basic building block for analog-to-digital interfacing and simple logic level translation where minimal static power draw is a primary design constraint.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

Check for variants such as TLV3401CDG4 or TLV3401CDR which may offer different packaging or reel options while maintaining identical electrical characteristics.
