Automotive comparator with on-chip reference — one part, one rail
The built-in reference eliminates an external resistor divider or reference IC, saving one component and one PCB trace per channel.
5 µA quiescent — sized for always-on automotive loads
That keeps the comparator alive on a coin cell or a small always-on regulator without eating into the sleep budget. The output type is push-pull, so no external pull-up resistor is needed — another BOM-line saving.
13.5 µs propagation delay — fast enough for protection, not for switching
Maximum propagation delay is 13.5 µs. That is adequate for monitoring DC thresholds, temperature alarms, or undervoltage lockout where the system response time is tens of milliseconds. It is not a high-speed comparator — do not use it for PWM current sense or fast overcurrent trip where sub-microsecond response is needed.
SC-70-6 — small footprint, no thermal worry
Supplied in an SC-70-6 (SOT-363) package, the TLV3012AQDCKRQ1 fits into compact automotive modules where every mm² counts. Surface-mount assembly is standard. The 0.5 mA typical output current at 5.5 V means the comparator drives logic inputs or small loads directly; for heavier loads, buffer the output.
