Overview
LM119J/883 from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, high-speed dual comparator in a 14-pin CDIP package, featuring ±15V or single 5V operation, 80 ns typical response time, ≤3.8 mV input offset voltage, and uncommitted open-collector outputs capable of 25 mA sink current. It serves precision threshold detection in military avionics power sequencing and analog signal monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM119J/883 datasheet, LM119J/883 pinout, LM119J/883 application, or LM119J/883 equivalent, this page delivers verified radiation-tolerant comparator specifications, validated CDIP-14 pin mapping, MIL-STD-883 Class B test compliance, and direct alternatives for high-reliability analog signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The LM119J/883 integrates two independent comparators on a single monolithic die with uncommitted NPN output transistors, enabling TTL/DTL/RTL compatibility and relay/lamp drive capability. Its input stage uses matched transistor pairs to achieve low input bias current (≤0.95 µA) and high common-mode slew rate across −55°C to +125°C.
Designed for wide-supply flexibility, it operates from ±15V or +5V/ground while maintaining specified performance - including 10.5 kV/V gain at ±15V and 8.0 kV/V at +5V - with input voltage range extending to ±12V under full supply conditions and isolation from system ground via separate GND1/GND2 pins.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM119W/883 | 10-pin TO-100 metal can package; identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (θJA = 162°C/W still air) and pinout. | Preferred for legacy board layouts using radial metal-can footprints and where hermetic sealing is prioritized over density. | Select LM119W/883 only when replacing existing TO-100-based designs; not pin-compatible with LM119J/883's CDIP-14 footprint. |
| LM119E/883 | 20-pin LCCC ceramic package; same functionality and radiation specs, but adds internal compensation and improved thermal performance (θJA = 89°C/W). | Suitable for high-density, high-reliability PCBs requiring surface-mount assembly and enhanced thermal dissipation in compact enclosures. | Choose LM119E/883 for new SMD designs needing finer pitch, better heat spreading, and compatibility with automated reflow processes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM119J/883?
The LM119J/883 has an absolute maximum total supply voltage of 36 V, with individual limits of ±15 V on V+ and V− terminals. Operation above ±15 V violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and may cause permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, TI specifies ±15 V as the maximum operating supply voltage, and the device is fully characterized across that range in its Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does LM119J/883 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LM119J/883 supports true single-supply operation from +5 V and ground. Its input common-mode range extends down to 1.0 V and up to 3.0 V under +5 V supply, and its open-collector outputs function correctly with pull-up to +5 V. This capability is explicitly documented in the "Electrical Characteristics SMD 8601401 DC Parameters" section and enables direct integration into 5 V logic systems without negative rail generation.
How many pins on LM119J/883 are internally connected?
Of the 14 pins in the CDIP package, only 8 are internally connected: Pins 1 (IN−1), 2 (IN+1), 3 (GND1), 4 (OUTPUT1), 5 (V−), 13 (GND2), 14 (OUTPUT2), 15 (IN−2), 16 (IN+2), and 17 (V+). Pins 6–12 and 18–20 are confirmed no-connect (N/C) with no die bond or internal routing - a design feature consistent across all LM119QML variants per TI's Package Number J0014A documentation.
Is LM119J/883 qualified for space applications?
The LM119J/883 is qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B and rated for 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose, but it is not certified for space flight. TI designates the LM119QML-SP variant - with additional screening, ceramic packaging, and radiation testing per NASA/ESA standards - for space applications. LM119J/883 is approved for military ground, airborne, and launch-phase systems only.
What is the output configuration of LM119J/883?
The LM119J/883 features two independent open-collector NPN output transistors - one per comparator - with no internal pull-up resistors. Each output (Pins 4 and 14) must be externally pulled up to V+, logic rail, or another voltage source to generate active-high logic levels. This architecture allows wired-OR logic, level translation, and direct drive of loads up to 25 mA, as confirmed in the "Description" and "Features" sections of the SNOSAN3B datasheet.
