TLV3704CD

Comparators Overview

The TLV3704CD is a quad nanopower voltage comparator from Texas Instruments featuring push-pull CMOS outputs. It operates on a single supply of 2.5V to 16V with a typical supply current of 560nA per channel. The device provides an input common-mode range extending from -0.1V to VCC + 5V and includes reverse battery protection up to 20V. Designed for commercial applications, it functions within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Nanopower consumption with 560nA per channel supply current
• Push-pull CMOS output stage eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors
• Extended input common-mode range exceeding both power rails
• Integrated reverse battery protection up to 20V

Comparators Applications

• Portable battery monitoring systems
• Consumer medical electronics
• Security detection systems
• Handheld instruments
• Ultra-low power systems

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify that the 'C' suffix corresponds to the commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) rather than the industrial grade ('I'). Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint, as this specific part number denotes the SOIC-14 variant. Ensure design compatibility with the specified 2.5V to 16V operating voltage range.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when low quiescent current is critical for battery life in portable devices. The push-pull output simplifies circuit design by removing the requirement for external pull-up components. Consider the extended over-the-rail input capability if signal voltages may exceed the positive supply rail during operation.

Comparators Part Context

This device belongs to the TLV370x family of nanopower comparators, which also includes single-channel (TLV3701) and dual-channel (TLV3702) variants. The family shares identical electrical characteristics and features, differing only in the number of integrated channels and available packaging options such as SOT-23, MSOP, and TSSOP.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

The TLC3704 series serves as a higher-speed alternative but consumes significantly more current. Verify that the replacement meets the strict nanopower requirements of the original design.
