TL331: TL331 Precision

Part Number: TL331

Hi:
The product I designed USES TI TL331 to control the power switch through voltage comparison.I would like to know the IN+/IN-pin precision range of this device.IN addition, IN+ voltage is greater than IN- voltage range,  Vout Pin will become high level, thank you!

  • Hi Sunny,

    The VIN range for this device is from -0.3V - 36V, and has input offset voltage of 2mV (TYP) and 5mV (MAX) at room temp. The input offset voltage will be max 9mV across all temp range of the device.

    Regards,

  • Hello Sunny,

    The "Precision" is dominated by the offset voltage specification.

    The offset specification for the TL331 is a maximum of 5mV at room temperature, and 9mV over the full operating temperature range.

    The 5mV is tested in production, so you should never see a device over 5mV at room temperature.

    The offset number is both positive and negative (±9mV). So you should design expecting both a +9mV AND -9mV error in the comparison to the applied reference voltage.

    For further information on comparators, please see the TI Precision Labs section 15 on comparators:
