10 ns comparator for fast threshold detection
The Texas Instruments TLV3501AIDR is a single-channel comparator with 10 ns max propagation delay. Rail-to-rail output (CMOS, push-pull, or TTL) drives logic inputs directly, and the supply range covers 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
What the ratings mean for the BOM
The 10 ns propagation delay suits zero-crossing detectors and fast overcurrent trip circuits. The 6 mV hysteresis provides clean switching on noisy signals.
Temperature grade and deployment
Rated for -40°C to 125°C, the TLV3501AIDR handles under-hood automotive, outdoor telecom cabinets, and factory-floor sensor interfaces. The 8-SOIC package is a standard footprint for automated assembly; the surface-mount body suits dense PCBs. Lifecycle status is active, so there is no last-time-buy pressure — this part is safe to qualify into a production BOM. RoHS3 compliant, no exemption paperwork needed for EU markets.
Sourcing and fit
The TLV3501AIDR is a single-element comparator; if the design needs two channels in the same package, the TLV9032DDFR is a dual alternative with similar rail-to-rail output but a 100 ns propagation delay. The TLV3501AIDR is sourced through independent distribution; pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time.
