TLV3501A-Q1
SBOS533B – SEPTEMBER 2010 – REVISED OCTOBER 2015
TLV3501A-Q1 4.5-ns Rail-to-Rail, High-Speed Comparator
in Microsize Packages
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TLV3501A-Q1 push-pull output comparator
features a fast 4.5-ns propagation delay and
operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The input voltage
supports a common-mode range that goes beyond
the rails which makes the device an ideal choice for
low-voltage applications. The rail-to-rail output directly
drives either CMOS or TTL logic. The fast delay and
wide common-mode range also makes TLV3501A-Q1
device ideal for EMI reduction through frequency
dithering by lowering the EMI peaks. These
parameters allow the device to be ideal for both DCDC converter and inverter applications in HEV/EV
and powertrain.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TLV3501A-Q1 device features high-speed response and includes 6 mV of internal hysteresis for improved
noise immunity with an input common-mode range that extends 0.2 V beyond the power-supply rails.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Operating Voltage
The TLV3501A-Q1 comparators are specified for use on a single supply from 2.7 V to 5.5 V (or a dual supply
from ±1.35 V to ±2.75 V) over a temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. The device continues to function below
this range, but performance is not specified.
8.3.2 Input Overvoltage Protection
The device inputs are protected by electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes that conduct if the input voltages exceed
the power supplies by more than approximately 300 mV. Momentary voltages greater than 300 mV beyond the
power supply can be tolerated if the input current is limited to 10 mA. This limiting is easily accomplished with a
small input resistor in series with the comparator, as shown in Figure 15.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Shutdown
A shutdown pin (SHDN) allows the device to go idle when the SHDN pin is not in use. When the SHDN pin is
high, the device draws about 2 μA and the output goes to high impedance. When the shutdown pin is low, the
TLV3501A-Q1 device is active. When the TLV3501A-Q1 shutdown feature is not used, connect the shutdown pin
to the most negative supply, as shown in Figure 16. Exiting shutdown mode takes about 100 ns.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Adding External Hysteresis
The TLV3501A-Q1 device has a robust performance when used with a good layout. However, the comparator
inputs have little noise immunity within the range of specified offset voltage (±5 mV). For slow moving or noisy
input signals, the comparator output can cause an undesirable switch state as input signals move through the
switching threshold. In such applications, the 6 mV of internal hysteresis of the TLV3501A-Q1 device might not
be sufficient. In cases where greater noise immunity is desired, external hysteresis can be added by connecting
a small amount of feedback to the positive. Figure 17 shows a typical topology used to introduce 25 mV of
additional hysteresis, for a total of 31-mV hysteresis when operating from a single 5-V supply. Use Equation 1 to
calculate the approximate total hysteresis.
(V + ) ´ R1
+ 6 mV
VHYST =
(1)
R1 + R2
The total hysteresis, VHYST, sets the value of the transition voltage required to switch the comparator output by
enlarging the threshold region, thereby reducing sensitivity to noise.

9.2 Typical Application
9.2.1 Relaxation Oscillator
The TLV3501A-Q1 device can easily be configured as a simple and inexpensive relaxation oscillator. In
Figure 18, the R2 network sets the trip threshold at 1/3 and 2/3 of the supply. Because this circuit is a high-speed
circuit, the resistor values are rather low to minimize the effect of parasitic capacitance. The positive input
alternates between 1/3 of V+ and 2/3 of V+ depending on whether the output is low or high. The time to charge
(or discharge) is 0.69 × R1C. Therefore, the period is 1.38 × R1C. For 62 pF and 1 kΩ as shown in Figure 18, the
output is calculated to be 10.9 MHz. An implementation of this circuit oscillated at 9.6 MHz. Parasitic capacitance
and component tolerances explain the difference between theory and actual performance.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
For hysteresis of 1/3 of V+ and threshold levels between 1/3 of V+ and 2/3 of V+, the resistors connected to
comparator positive input should be equal in value. The resistor value should be kept low enough so it does not
create additional time constant because of the input capacitor and board parasitic capacitor. The value of the
charging resistor, R1, should be relatively low for high frequency switching without drawing high current and
effecting the output high and low level. The value of the charging capacitor should be high enough to avoid errors
cause by parasitic capacitance.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
For the positive input, +IN = 1/3 VOUT + 1/3 V+ = 1/3 V+ if VOUT is low and assuming VOL is very close to GND.
Or, +IN = 1/3 VOUT + 1/3 V+ = 1/3 V+ = 2/3 V+ if VOUT is high and assuming VOH is very close to V+.
For the negative input, the capacitor charges to 2/3 V+ and discharges to 1/3 V+ exponentially at the same rate
with a time constant of R1C.

9.2.2 High-Speed Window Comparator
A window comparator circuit is used to determine when a signal is between two voltages. The TLV3501A-Q1
device can readily be used to create a high-speed window comparator. The VHI value is the upper voltage
threshold, and the VLO value is the lower voltage threshold. When VIN is between these two thresholds, the
output in Figure 20 is high. Figure 21 shows a simple means of obtaining an active low output. Note that the
reference levels are connected differently between Figure 20 and Figure 21. The operating voltage range of
either circuit is 2.7 V to 5.5 V.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The TLV3501A-Q1 comparator is specified for use on a single supply from 2.7 V to 5.5 V (or a dual supply from
±1.35 V to ±2.75 V) over a temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. The device continues to function below this
range, but performance is not specified.
Place bypass capacitors close to the power supply pins to reduce noise coupling in from noisy or highimpedance power supplies. For more detailed information on bypass capacitor placement, see the Layout
Guidelines section.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For any high-speed comparator or amplifier, proper design and printed circuit board (PCB) layout are necessary
for optimal performance. Excess stray capacitance on the active input, or improper grounding, can limit the
maximum performance of high-speed circuitry.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
Minimizing resistance from the signal source to the comparator input is necessary to minimize the propagation
delay of the complete circuit. The source resistance along with input and stray capacitance creates an RC filter
that delays voltage transitions at the input, and reduces the amplitude of high-frequency signals. The input
capacitance of the TLV3501A-Q1 along with stray capacitance from an input pin to ground results in several
picofarads of capacitance.
The location and type of capacitors used for power-supply bypassing are critical to high-speed comparators. The
suggested 2.2-μF tantalum capacitor does not need to be as close to the device as the 0.1-μF capacitor, and can
be shared with other devices. The 2.2-μF capacitor buffers the power-supply line against ripple, and the 0.1-μF
capacitor provides a charge for the comparator during high-frequency switching.
In a high-speed circuit, fast rising and falling switching transients create voltage differences across lines that
would be at the same potential at DC. To reduce this effect, a ground plane is often used to reduce difference in
voltage potential within the circuit board. A ground plane has the advantage of minimizing the effect of stray
capacitances on the circuit board by providing a more desirable path for the current to flow. With a signal trace
over a ground plane, at high-frequency the return current (in the ground plane) tends to flow directly under the
signal trace. Breaks in the ground plane (as simple as through-hole leads and vias) increase the inductance of
the plane, making it less effective at higher frequencies. Breaks in the ground plane for necessary vias should be
spaced randomly.
