Pinout & Package
LCCC-20 ceramic package (Package Number NAJ0020A), hermetically sealed, leadless, with 20 terminals arranged in 5×4 grid; case grounded via internal connection to Pin 5 (V−).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND 1 | Ground reference for Comparator 1; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs. |
| 2 | IN+ 1 | Non-inverting input of Comparator 1; accepts input voltages from −12 V to +12 V at ±15 V supply. |
| 3 | IN− 1 | Inverting input of Comparator 1; differential input voltage limited to ±5 V maximum. |
| 4 | OUTPUT 1 | Open-collector output of Comparator 1; requires external pull-up to define logic high level and drive load. |
| 5 | V− | Negative supply terminal; internally connected to case - must be tied to system ground or negative rail per layout guidelines. |
| 6–10 | N/C | No-connect terminals; electrically isolated and not bonded - must remain unconnected on PCB. |
| 11–15 | N/C | No-connect terminals; electrically isolated and not bonded - must remain unconnected on PCB. |
| 16 | V+ | Positive supply terminal; supports up to +18 V relative to ground per absolute maximum rating. |
| 17 | IN− 2 | Inverting input of Comparator 2; independent of Comparator 1, enabling dual-threshold or differential sensing. |
| 18 | IN+ 2 | Non-inverting input of Comparator 2; fully isolated from Comparator 1 inputs and outputs. |
| 19 | OUTPUT 2 | Open-collector output of Comparator 2; independently configurable with dedicated pull-up and load. |
| 20 | GND 2 | Ground reference for Comparator 2; may be tied to GND 1 or isolated depending on system grounding strategy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two independent comparators | Enables simultaneous high/low threshold detection (e.g., window comparator) without cross-talk or shared bias paths. |
| Uncommitted collector outputs | Allows flexible logic-level translation: pull-up to +3.3 V, +5 V, or +15 V to match downstream interface requirements. |
| Input/output isolation from system ground | Supports floating-sense applications such as motor phase current monitoring or isolated power supply feedback loops. |
| High common-mode slew rate | Maintains accurate comparison during fast-rising common-mode transients (e.g., EMI events in avionics busses). |
| ELDRS-free & high-dose-rate tolerant | Validated for space environments with no enhanced low-dose-rate sensitivity - eliminates need for annealing or margining. |
Applications
| Relay Driver | Window Detector |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving electromechanical relays in launch vehicle sequencers where timing margins are sub-100 ns and reliability is non-negotiable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator provides independent high-threshold and low-threshold decision logic to enable/disable relay coil activation. Use Value: 80 ns response ensures deterministic actuation within tight sequencing windows; open-collector outputs directly switch 25 mA relay coils without driver transistors. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery cell voltage in satellite power management units to trigger charge/discharge cutoff within ±10 mV accuracy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as a window comparator using both internal comparators to detect when voltage falls outside preset upper/lower bounds. Use Value: Input offset ≤±3.8 mV guarantees detection accuracy; radiation-hardened operation prevents latch-up or drift during orbital radiation exposure. |
| Satellite Telemetry Thresholding | Avionics Sensor Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Converting analog telemetry signals (e.g., pressure, temperature) into digital status flags for downlink in deep-space probes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator 1 detects over-pressure condition; Comparator 2 detects under-temperature fault - both outputs feed FPGA interrupt lines. Use Value: −55°C to +125°C operation covers all mission phases; ELDRS-free behavior ensures stable thresholds over multi-year missions without recalibration. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing isolated current-sense amplifiers to flight computer ADC triggers in fly-by-wire control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fast, isolated overcurrent detection by comparing amplified shunt voltage against programmable reference. Use Value: Input/output isolation prevents ground-loop errors; 10.5 kV/V gain ensures clean switching even with low-signal SNR from noisy engine bays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM119J/883 | CDIP-14 package (vs. LCCC-20); same electrical specs and radiation qualification; higher θJA (94°C/W vs. 89°C/W still air). | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board designs with DIP footprints; less suitable for high-density or vibration-prone layouts. | Select LM119J/883 only if CDIP-14 mechanical compatibility is required; verify thermal margin with board-level airflow modeling. |
| LM119H/883 | TO-100 metal-can package (10-pin); identical radiation spec but lower pin count; no separate GND 1/GND 2 terminals - single ground reference. | Used in RF-adjacent or EMI-sensitive analog front-ends where metal shielding improves noise immunity; lacks dual-ground isolation capability. | Choose LM119H/883 when EMI suppression is critical and dual-ground isolation is unnecessary; confirm thermal path to chassis ground. |
Compared with LM119J/883 and LM119H/883, the LM119E/883 offers superior layout flexibility via 20-pin LCCC with independent ground references and optimized thermal resistance (89°C/W), making it the preferred choice for high-reliability, space-constrained, and ground-isolation–critical systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for LM119E/883?
The LM119E/883 has an absolute maximum total supply voltage of 36 V. When operated at ±15 V, the device remains within safe limits with 6 V headroom. Exceeding ±15 V risks exceeding the 36 V total supply limit or violating the ±18 V ground-to-V+ rating - always observe the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the SNOSAN3B datasheet for LM119E/883.
Does LM119E/883 support single-supply operation?
Yes, LM119E/883 operates from a single +5 V supply with ground reference, as confirmed in the "Features" section and Electrical Characteristics tables. Input common-mode range extends from 1.0 V to 3.0 V under +5 V supply, and output saturation voltage is specified at 0.4 V (max) with 4.0 mA load - enabling direct interface with 5 V TTL logic.
How is radiation hardness validated for LM119E/883?
LM119E/883 is qualified to SMD 5962-9679801VCA (high-dose-rate) and 5962-9679802VCA (ELDRS-free) standards per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019. Post-irradiation testing at 100 krad(Si) confirms VIO ≤±4.0 mV and IIB ≤1.0 µA at 25°C - matching pre-rad limits and verifying functional integrity after exposure.
What does "N/C" mean for pins 6–10 and 11–15 on LM119E/883?
"N/C" stands for No Connect - these 10 pins are electrically isolated, unbonded, and unused in the LM119E/883 die assembly. They must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or applying solder paste to them may cause parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. The LCCC-20 footprint accommodates multiple variants, and N/C pins provide mechanical symmetry and thermal balance.
Can LM119E/883 drive a 25 mA relay coil directly?
Yes, LM119E/883 is rated for 25 mA output sink current per channel at ±15 V supply, with VSat ≤1.5 V. To drive a relay coil, connect the coil between V+ and OUTPUT 1 (or OUTPUT 2), and ensure the coil's DC resistance results in ≤25 mA at the applied V+. Confirm thermal dissipation: at 1.5 V saturation and 25 mA, power is 37.5 mW - well within the 500 mW package limit for LM119E/883.
