Product details
Overview
LM111WG/883 from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened voltage comparator designed for high-reliability aerospace and defense systems. It delivers 200 nA max input bias current, ±30 V differential input range, and 50 mA output sink capability across −55°C to +125°C. The device operates from single 5V or dual ±15V supplies and drives TTL/DTL/RTL/MOS loads, relays, and lamps in precision threshold detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM111WG/883 datasheet, LM111WG/883 pinout, LM111WG/883 application, or LM111WG/883 equivalent, this page provides verified radiation-tolerant comparator specifications, MIL-STD-883 Class B qualified operating limits, strobe-enabled output control, offset null capability, and direct replacement guidance for legacy LM111QML and LM111/883 designs.
Technical Context
The LM111WG/883 implements an open-collector NPN output stage with isolated inputs and outputs referenced to ground, positive supply, or negative supply. Its internal architecture supports strobe gating via Pin 6 (BALANCE/STROBE) and offset adjustment using external resistors between Pins 5 and 6.
It features radiation assurance per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019: High Dose Rate (50 krad(Si)) and Low Dose/ELDRS-Free (100 krad(Si)) qualification. Input stage design enables operation with input voltages up to ±30 V relative to supply rails, supporting wide common-mode range sensing in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
LM111WG/883 is supplied in an 8-pin TO-99 metal can package (Package Number LMC0008C), with Pin 4 internally connected to case for thermal and EMI grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN− | Inverting input terminal - accepts reference or feedback signal for threshold comparison |
| 2 | IN+ | Non-inverting input terminal - connects to sensed voltage or sensor output |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - used as output load return when driving ground-referenced loads |
| 4 | Case | Metal case connection - electrically tied to Pin 4; must be grounded per MIL-STD-883 requirements |
| 5 | BALANCE | Offset null terminal - connects to potentiometer wiper for manual VIO trimming |
| 6 | BALANCE/STROBE | Strobe enable input - pulls output high-Z when driven low; also used with Pin 5 for offset adjustment |
| 7 | OUTPUT | Open-collector NPN collector - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 50 mA to selected rail |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts +5V (single) or +15V (dual supply) rail |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM111QML | Same die, identical pinout and radiation spec, but different screening level (QML vs WG/883) | QML uses MIL-PRF-38535 Class Q; LM111WG/883 meets MIL-STD-883 Class B with full Group A testing | Select LM111WG/883 when full Mil-Std-883 Group A conformance and documented 100 krad(Si) ELDRS-free validation are required. |
| LM111H/883 | Same TO-99 package and electrical specs, but rated for 50 krad(Si) only (no ELDRS-free claim) | Lacks low-dose-rate qualification; not approved for multi-year deep-space missions | Choose LM111H/883 only for short-duration high-dose-rate environments where ELDRS sensitivity is non-critical. |
Compared with LM111QML and LM111H/883, the LM111WG/883 provides guaranteed ELDRS-free performance at 100 krad(Si), full Group A testing per MIL-STD-883, and explicit validation for extended low-dose-rate exposure - making it the sole option for NASA Class S and DoD Category I space programs requiring zero parameter degradation over mission lifetime.

FAQ
What is the maximum total ionizing dose (TID) rating for LM111WG/883?
The LM111WG/883 is qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose with ELDRS-free performance, verified per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 Condition A. This rating applies across the full −55°C to +125°C operating range and includes pre- and post-irradiation electrical validation of VIO, IIO, and tRLHC. No parameter shift exceeds specification limits at end-of-life dose.
Does LM111WG/883 support single-supply operation at 5V?
Yes, LM111WG/883 fully supports single 5V operation as specified in the datasheet. With V+ = 5V and V− = GND, it maintains 200 nA input bias current, ±3 mV offset voltage, and 300 ns response time. Output saturation voltage remains ≤0.4 V at 8 mA sink, enabling direct interface with 5V TTL and CMOS logic families.
How is the strobe function implemented on LM111WG/883?
The strobe function is controlled via Pin 6 (BALANCE/STROBE). When Pin 6 is pulled below 0.7 V relative to V−, the output transistor is disabled, placing OUTPUT (Pin 7) in high-impedance state. This allows time-synchronized sampling and prevents false triggering during system initialization or reset sequences in LM111WG/883-based designs.
Can LM111WG/883 drive a relay directly?
Yes, LM111WG/883 can directly drive relays requiring ≤50 mA coil current and ≤50 V coil voltage. Its open-collector NPN output supports sinking up to 50 mA at VCE(sat) ≤1.5 V (at 50 mA), with output isolation allowing relay return path to be tied to V+, GND, or V−. A flyback diode must be placed across the relay coil per standard practice.
What is the purpose of Pin 4 on the LM111WG/883 TO-99 package?
Pin 4 on the LM111WG/883 TO-99 package is internally connected to the metal case. Per MIL-STD-883 requirements, this pin must be electrically bonded to system ground to ensure thermal dissipation, EMI shielding, and mechanical stability. It is not an active signal terminal and must not be left floating in LM111WG/883 installations.
