SLVS238H – AUGUST 1999 – REVISED MAY 2020
TL331B, TL391B and TL331 Single Comparators
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TL331B and TL391B devices are the next
generation versions of the industry-standard TL331
comparator. These next generation devices provide
outstanding value for cost-sensitive applications, with
features including lower offset voltage, higher supply
voltage capability, lower supply current, lower input
bias current, lower propagation delay, wider
temperature range and improved 2kV ESD
performance and improved negative input voltage
handling with drop-in replacement convenience. The
TL331B is a drop-in improved replacement for both
the TL331I and TL331K versions, while the TL391B
provides an alternate pinout of the TL331B to replace
competitive devices.

NEW TL331B and TL391B
Improved specifications of B-version
– Maximum rating: up to 38 V
– ESD rating (HBM): 2k V
– Improved reverse voltage performance
– Low input offset: 0.37 mV
– Low input bias current: 3.5 nA
– Low supply-current: 430 µA
– Faster response time of 1 µsec
– TL391B provides an alternate pinout
TL331B is improved drop-in replacement for
TL331
Common-mode input voltage range includes
ground
Differential input voltage range equal to maximumrated supply voltage: ±38 V
Low output saturation voltage
Output compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS
Operation from dual supplies also is possible as long
as the difference between the two supplies is within 2
V to 36 V, and VCC is at least 1.5 V more positive
than the input common-mode voltage. Current drain
is independent of the supply voltage. The outputs can
be connected to other open-collector outputs to
achieve wired-AND relationships.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TL331 family is a single comparator with the ability to operate up to 36 V on the supply pin. This standard
device has proven ubiquity and versatility across a wide range of applications. This is due to its very wide supply
voltages range (2 V to 36 V), low Iq, and fast response.
The open-collector output allows the user to configure the output's logic low voltage (VOL) and can be utilized to
enable the comparator to be used in AND functionality.
The TL331B and TL391B are performance upgrades to standard TL331 using the latest process technologies
allowing for lower offset voltages, lower input bias and supply currents and faster response time over an
extended temperature range. The TL331B can drop-in replace the "I" or "K" versions of TL331. The TL391B is an
alternate pinout for replacing competitive devices.

Current values shown are nominal.
7.3 Feature Description
TL331 family consists of a PNP Darlington pair input, allowing the device to operate with very high gain and fast
response with minimal input bias current. The input Darlington pair creates a limit on the input common mode
voltage capability, allowing TL331 to accurately function from ground to VCC – 1.5 V differential input.
The output consists of an open collector NPN (pull-down or low side) transistor. The output NPN will sink current
when the negative input voltage is higher than the positive input voltage and the offset voltage. The VOL is
resistive and will scale with the output current. Please see Figure 3 for VOL values with respect to the output
current.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Voltage Comparison
The TL331 operates solely as a voltage comparator, comparing the differential voltage between the positive and
negative pins and outputting a logic low or high impedance (logic high with pull-up) based on the input differential
polarity.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
TL331 will typically be used to compare a single signal to a reference or two signals against each other. Many
users take advantage of the open drain output to drive the comparison logic output to a logic voltage level to an
MCU or logic device. The wide supply range and high voltage capability makes TL331 optimal for level shifting to
a higher or lower voltage.

8.2.2.1 Input Voltage Range
When choosing the input voltage range, the input common mode voltage range (VICR) must be taken in to
account. If temperature operation is above or below 25°C the VICR can range from 0 V to VCC – 1.5 V. This limits
the input voltage range to as high as VCC – 1.5 V and as low as 0 V. Operation outside of this range can yield
incorrect comparisons.
Below is a list of input voltage situation and their outcomes:
1. When both IN- and IN+ are both within the common mode range:
a. If IN- is higher than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is low and the output transistor is sinking
current
b. If IN- is lower than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is high impedance and the output transistor is
not conducting
2. When IN- is higher than common mode and IN+ is within common mode, the output is low and the output
transistor is sinking current
3. When IN+ is higher than common mode and IN- is within common mode, the output is high impedance and
the output transistor is not conducting
4. When IN- and IN+ are both higher than common mode, the output is low and the output transistor is sinking
current
8.2.2.2 Minimum Overdrive Voltage
Overdrive Voltage is the differential voltage produced between the positive and negative inputs of the comparator
over the offset voltage (VIO). In order to make an accurate comparison the Overdrive Voltage (VOD) should be
higher than the input offset voltage (VIO). Overdrive voltage can also determine the response time of the
comparator, with the response time decreasing with increasing overdrive. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show positive
and negative response times with respect to overdrive voltage.
8.2.2.3 Output and Drive Current
Output current is determined by the load/pull-up resistance and logic/pull-up voltage. The output current will
produce a output low voltage (VOL) from the comparator. In which VOL is proportional to the output current. Use
Figure 3 to determine VOL based on the output current.
The output current can also effect the transient response. More is explained in the next section.
8.2.2.4 TL331B & TL391B ESD Protection
The "B" versions add dedicated ESD protections on all the pins for improved ESD performance as well as
improved negative input voltage handling. Please see Application Note SNOAA35 for more information.
8.2.2.5 Response Time
Response time is a function of input over drive. See Application Curves for typical response times. The rise and
fall times can be determined by the load capacitance (CL), load/pullup resistance (RPULLUP), and equivalent
collector-emitter resistance (RCE).
•
•
The rise time (τR) is approximately τR ~ RPULLUP × CL
The fall time (τF) is approximatelyτF ~ RCE × CL
– RCE can be determined by taking the slope of Figure 3 in its linear region at the desired temperature, or by
dividing the VOL by Iout

9 Power Supply Recommendations
For fast response and comparison applications with noisy or AC inputs, it is recommended to use a bypass
capacitor on the supply pin to reject any variation on the supply voltage. This variation can eat into the
comparator's input common mode range and create an inaccurate comparison.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For accurate comparator applications without hysteresis it is important maintain a stable power supply with
minimized noise and glitches, which can affect the high level input common mode voltage range. In order to
achieve this, it is best to add a bypass capacitor between the supply voltage and ground. This should be
implemented on the positive power supply and negative supply (if available). If a negative supply is not being
used, do not put a capacitor between the IC's GND pin and system ground.
