The TLV3011 -Q1 is a low-power, open-drain output comparator; the TLV3012 -Q1 is a push-pull output comparator. Both devices feature an uncommitted on-chip voltage reference and have a 5 µA (maximum) quiescent current, an input common-mode range 200 mV beyond the supply rails, and single-supply operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. The integrated 1.242 V series voltage reference offers low 100 ppm/°C (maximum) drift, is stable with up to 10 nF capacitive load, and can provide up to 0.5 mA (typical) of output current.

The TLV3011B -Q1 and TLV3012B -Q1 "B" versions add power-on-reset (POR), fail-safe inputs, built-in hysteresis, a lower minimum supply voltage of 1.65 V and a 3.1 µA maximum quiescent current.

The family is available in both the tiny SOT23-6 package for space-conservative designs, and in the SC-70 package for even greater board area savings. All versions are specified for the temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
