All devices include a Power-On Reset (POR) feature
that ensures the output is in a known state until the
minimum supply voltage has been reached before the
output responds to the inputs, thus preventing false
outputs during system power-up and power-down.
The inputs have over-the-rail capability where both
inputs can exceed the supply voltage up to 40
V and still operate properly. This makes the
comparators well suited for both high and low supply
voltage systems without limiting the range of input
voltages that can be compared. Likewise, the internal
reverse battery protection feature prevents damage
to the comparator in the event of improper battery
installation to the supply pins.
The TLV185x comparators have a push-pull output
stage where as the TLV186x comparators have an
open-drain output stage, making it appropriate for
level translation.

3 Description
TLV1852, TLV1862
The TLV185x and TLV186x are a family of
nanopower, 40 Volt comparators with single, dual and
quad channel options. The family offers fail-safe (FS)
inputs with push-pull and open-drain output options.
These features coupled with nanopower operation
over the wide supply range of 1.8 V to 40 V make this
family well-suited for house-keeping functions such
as voltage and temperature monitoring in low-power,
always-on systems.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TLV185x and TLV186x devices are nanopower comparators with push-pull and open-drain output options.
Operating down to 1.8 V while only consuming only 440 nA per channel, the TLV185x and TLV186x are well
suited for voltage, current, and temperature sensing in low and high voltage low-power, always-on systems.
An internal power-on reset circuit ensures that the output remains in a known state during power-up and
power-down. Inputs have fail-safe inputs that can tolerate input transients without damage or false outputs.

7.3 Feature Description
The TLV185x (push-pull output) and TLV186x (open-drain output) devices are nano-power comparators that are
capable of operating at high voltages. This family of comparators feature a fail safe input stage and over the rail
operating condition mode capable of operating up to 40 V, independent of V+. The comparators also have an
internal reverse battery protection feature and Power-On-Reset for known start-up conditions.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Inputs
7.4.1.1 Operating Common-Mode Ranges
The TLV185x and TLV186x devices have two operating common-mode ranges: within-the-rail and over-the-rail.
Within-the-Rail Operation: IN+ and IN- are less than (V+)
When an input pin is operating less than (V+), there are two operating regions defined where input voltages can
be compared: low common-mode and high-common mode. In low-common mode which extends typically from
0 V to (V+) - 1 V, the typical input bias current is less than 1 pA. In high common-mode which extends typically
from (V+) - 1 V to (V+), the typical input bias current is less than 14 nA.
Over-the-Rail Operation: IN+ and/or IN- are greater than (V+)
The TLV185x and TLV186x devices have a distinctive input stage that allows the input common mode range
to extend from 0 V to 40 V independent of the supply voltage. This feature means that operation at low supply

voltages does not limit the range of input voltages that can be compared. When an input pin is operating
over-the-rail (above (V+)), the bias current increases to a typical value of 55 nA.
See Figure 6-9 to 6-11 in the Typical Characteristics section for input bias current vs. common-mode voltages.
7.4.1.2 Fail-Safe Inputs
A feature of the TLV185x and TLV186x family is that the inputs are fail safe up to 40 V, independent of (V+). The
inputs are maintained as high input impedance and can be of any value between -0.1 V and 40 V, even while
(V+) is unpowered or below the minimum supply voltage. This feature avoids power sequencing or transient
issues since the inputs are not diode clamped to (V+).
7.4.1.3 Unused Inputs
If a channel is not to be used, DO NOT tie the inputs together. Due to the high equivalent bandwidth and low
offset voltage, tying the inputs directly together can cause high frequency oscillations as the device triggers on
it's own internal wideband noise. Instead, the inputs should be tied to any available voltage that resides within
the specified input voltage range and provides a minimum of 50mV differential voltage. For example, one input
can be grounded and the other input connected to a reference voltage, or even (V+).
7.4.2 Internal Hysteresis
The device hysteresis transfer curve is shown in Figure 7-2. This curve is a function of three components: VTH,
VOS, and VHYST:
• VTH is the actual set voltage or threshold trip voltage.
• VOS is the internal offset voltage between VIN+ and VIN–. This voltage is added to VTH to form the actual trip
point at which the comparator must respond to change output states.
• VHYST is the internal hysteresis (or trip window) that is designed to reduce comparator sensitivity to noise.
(2.8 mV for the TLV185x/6x family)
VTH + VOS ± (VHYST / 2)
VTH + VOS
VTH + VOS + (VHYST / 2)

7.4.3 Outputs
7.4.3.1 TLV185x Push-Pull Output
The TLV185x features a push-pull output stage capable of both sinking and sourcing current. This allows driving
loads such as LED's and MOSFET gates, as well as eliminating the need for a power-wasting external pull-up
resistor. The push-pull output must never be connected to another output.
Directly shorting the output to the supply rails ((V+) when output "low" or (V-) when output "High") can result in
thermal runaway and eventual device destruction at high (>12 V) supply voltages. If output shorts are possible, a
series current limiting resistor is recommended to limit the power dissipation.
Unused push-pull outputs should be left floating, and never tied to a supply, ground, or another output.
7.4.3.2 TLV186x Open-Drain Output
The TLV186x features an open-drain (also commonly called open collector) sinking-only output stage enabling
the output logic levels to be pulled up to an external voltage from 0 V up to 40 V, independent of the comparator
supply voltage (V+). The open-drain output also allows logical OR'ing of multiple open drain outputs and logic

level translation. TI recommends setting the pull-up resistor current to less than 100 uA to optimize VOL logic
levels. Lower pull-up resistor values will help increase the rising edge risetime, but at the expense of increasing
VOL and higher power dissipation. The risetime will be dependent on the time constant of the total pull-up
resistance and total load capacitance. Large value pull-up resistors (>1 MΩ) will create an exponential rising
edge due to the output RC time constant and increase the risetime.
Directly shorting the output to (V+) can result in thermal runaway and eventual device destruction at high (>12 V)
pull-up voltages. If output shorts are possible, a series current limitng resistor is recommended to limit the power
dissipation.
Unused open drain outputs should be left floating, or can be tied to the (V-) pin if floating pins are not desired.
7.4.4 ESD Protection
7.4.4.1 Inputs
The fail-safe inputs incorporates internal ESD protection circuits on all pins. The fail-safe inputs have ESD
protection from each pin to (V-) which allows these pins to exceed the supply voltage (V+) up to 40 V. If input
voltages are to exceed 40 V, an external clamp would be required. Likewise, negative voltages on the inputs are
ESD clamped to (V-) and should be limited to less than -0.1 V.
If the inputs are to be connected to a low impedance source, such as a power supply or buffered reference line,
TI recommends adding a current-limiting resistor in series with the input to limit any transient currents should
the clamps conduct. The current should be limited to 10 mA or less. This series resistance can be part of any
resistive input dividers or networks.
7.4.4.2 Outputs
The TLV185x push-pull output protection also contains a conventional diode-type ESD clamps between the
output and (V-), as the output should not exceed the supply rails.
The TLV186x open-drain output ESD protection also consists of a snapback ESD clamp between the output and
(V-) to allow the output to be pulled above (V+) to a maximum of 40 V.
7.4.5 Power-On Reset (POR)
The TLV185x and TLV186x devices have an internal Power-on-Reset (POR) circuit for known start-up or powerdown conditions. While the power supply (V+) is ramping up or ramping down, the POR circuitry will be activated
for up to 2 ms after the VPOR of 1.5 V is crossed. When the supply voltage is equal to or greater than the
minimum supply voltage, and after the delay period, the comparator output reflects the state of the differential
input (VID).
For the TLV185x push-pull output devices, the output is held low during the POR period (ton).
For the TLV186x open drain output devices, the POR circuit will keep the output high impedance (Hi-Z) during
the POR period (ton).

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
8.1.1 Basic Comparator Definitions
8.1.1.1 Operation
The basic comparator compares the input voltage (VIN) on one input to a reference voltage (VREF) on the other
input. In the Figure 8-1 example below, if VIN is less than VREF, the output voltage (VO) is logic low (VOL). If VIN
is greater than VREF, the output voltage (VO) is at logic high (VOH). Table 8-1 summarizes the output conditions.
The output logic can be inverted by simply swapping the input pins.
Table 8-1. Output Conditions
Inputs Condition
Output
IN+ > IN-
HIGH (VOH)
IN+ = IN-
Indeterminate (chatters - see Hysteresis)
IN+ < IN-
LOW (VOL)
8.1.1.2 Propagation Delay
There is a delay between from when the input crosses the reference voltage and the output responds. This
is called the Propagation Delay. Propagation delay can be different between high-to low and low-to-high input
transitions. This is shown as tpLH and tpHL in Figure 8-1 and is measured from the mid-point of the input to the
midpoint of the output.

8.1.1.3 Overdrive Voltage
The overdrive voltage, VOD, is the amount of input voltage beyond the reference voltage (and not the total input
peak-to-peak voltage). The overdrive voltage is 100 mV as shown in the Figure 8-1 example. The overdrive
voltage can influence the propagation delay (tp). The smaller the overdrive voltage, the longer the propagation
delay, particularly when
