Overview
LM119WGRQMLV from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, high-speed dual comparator designed for space and defense applications requiring operation across ±15V or single 5V supplies. It delivers 80 ns typical response time, 10.5 kV/V voltage gain, ≤3.8 mV input offset voltage, and drives 25 mA loads with uncommitted collector outputs. It serves in precision window detection and relay control circuits within satellite power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM119WGRQMLV datasheet, LM119WGRQMLV pinout, LM119WGRQMLV application, or LM119WGRQMLV equivalent, this page provides verified radiation-tolerant performance data, CLGA package terminal mapping, QMLV qualification context, and direct alternatives for high-reliability analog signal conditioning in extreme environments.
Technical Context
The LM119WGRQMLV implements two independent, open-collector comparators with rail-to-rail input capability (±12 V common-mode range at ±15 V supply) and high slew rate inputs. Its architecture supports isolation from system ground via separate GND1/GND2 pins and tolerates differential input voltages up to ±5 V.
It operates across −55°C to +125°C, meets MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements, and is qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose with ELDRS-free performance. The device uses a monolithic bipolar process optimized for speed and radiation hardness, not CMOS or BiCMOS.

Applications
| Power Supply Monitor | Satellite Bus Voltage Supervisor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring primary bus voltage in LEO satellite power distribution units to trigger shutdown if voltage exceeds 32 V or drops below 26 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator configured as window detector with hysteresis; each channel compares against precision references derived from radiation-hardened voltage dividers. Use Value: 80 ns response ensures immediate reaction to catastrophic overvoltage events before downstream FETs fail, preserving mission-critical subsystems. | Use Scenario: Supervising redundant 28 V DC bus pairs in spacecraft command & data handling (C&DH) modules under thermal vacuum and radiation exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent comparator channels monitor each bus with separate GND1/GND2 references to avoid ground-bounce-induced false trips during simultaneous load switching. Use Value: ELDRS-free behavior guarantees stable trip thresholds after 10+ years in orbit, eliminating recalibration requirements and reducing ground-segment operational overhead. |
| Launch Vehicle Pyro Sequencer | Radiation-Hardened Relay Driver |
Use Scenario: Controlling pyrotechnic initiators during multi-stage separation events where timing margins are sub-millisecond and EMI immunity is non-negotiable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed comparator latches flight computer commands and validates safe/arm conditions before enabling firing circuits. Use Value: 25 mA output sink drives solid-state relays directly, removing discrete driver stages and associated failure modes in safety-critical chains. | Use Scenario: Driving high-current relays in radiation-hardened test equipment used for qualification of other space-grade components. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Open-collector outputs interface with 48 V relay coils via external pull-ups; inputs accept TTL-level enable signals referenced to isolated grounds. Use Value: Input isolation prevents ground-loop noise from corrupting logic-level signals in mixed-signal test benches, improving measurement repeatability by >12 dB. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM119HRQMLV | TO-100 metal-can package (10-pin), same electrical specs and QMLV radiation rating, but larger footprint and lower thermal resistance (31°C/W vs. 132°C/W). | Better suited for conduction-cooled boards or applications requiring mechanical ruggedness over compactness. | Select when board layout allows larger TO-100 footprint and thermal management prioritizes junction-to-case conduction over surface-area-limited convection. |
| LM119JRQMLV | CDIP-14 package, identical radiation spec and speed, but adds two unused pins and higher pin count; includes internal compensation not present in LM119WGRQMLV. | Preferred for legacy board designs using CDIP footprints or where extra pins simplify grounding schemes. | Choose only when reusing existing CDIP-14 layouts or when the additional pins provide measurable noise immunity benefits in high-EMI launch environments. |
Compared with LM119HRQMLV and LM119JRQMLV, the LM119WGRQMLV offers the smallest PCB area (CFP-10), highest packaging density, and lowest mass-critical for volume-constrained satellite payloads-while maintaining identical radiation tolerance and comparator performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LM119WGRQMLV?
The LM119WGRQMLV is fully specified and qualified for continuous operation from −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per MIL-STD-883 Test Method 1010.8 and applies across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including input offset voltage, response time, and output saturation voltage. The LM119WGRQMLV maintains functionality even during thermal cycling between these extremes, making it suitable for unheated satellite compartments and high-temperature avionics bays.
Does the LM119WGRQMLV require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the LM119WGRQMLV features open-collector outputs that require external pull-up resistors to define the high-state voltage level. Each output (OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2) can sink up to 25 mA to its respective ground (GND1 or GND2). Pull-up values are selected based on load voltage, speed requirements, and fan-out needs; typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ when interfacing with 5 V or 28 V logic or relay coils. The LM119WGRQMLV does not include internal pull-ups.
How is radiation hardness verified for the LM119WGRQMLV?
Radiation hardness for the LM119WGRQMLV is verified through MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 (Total Ionizing Dose) at 100 krad(Si) with ELDRS-free characterization per Test Condition D. Post-irradiation testing confirms no degradation beyond specification limits for key parameters including input offset voltage (±4.0 mV max), input bias current (≤1.0 µA), and response time. Data sheets explicitly state "ELDRS Free 100 krad(Si)" and list SMD 5962-9679802 qualification, confirming the LM119WGRQMLV's suitability for long-duration space missions without low-dose-rate sensitivity concerns.
Can the LM119WGRQMLV operate from a single 5 V supply?
Yes, the LM119WGRQMLV is fully functional with a single 5 V supply (V+ = 5 V, V− = 0 V). In this configuration, it delivers 80 ns typical response time, ±3.8 mV input offset voltage, and 4.0 mA output sink capability at 0.4 V saturation. The device maintains rail-to-rail input operation (1.0 V to 3.0 V common-mode range) and supports TTL-compatible output interfacing. This mode is explicitly documented in the Electrical Characteristics tables under "+VCC = 5V, −VCC = 0V" test conditions.
What is the pin 5 connection on the LM119WGRQMLV and why is it important?
Pin 5 on the LM119WGRQMLV is the V− terminal and is internally connected to the metal case of the CFP (NAC) package. This mechanical tie mandates that Pin 5 be connected to the most negative potential in the circuit-either system ground (in single-supply use) or the negative rail (in dual-supply use). Failure to properly connect Pin 5 risks violating absolute maximum ratings, causing excessive case leakage, or compromising radiation hardness due to improper shielding. The LM119WGRQMLV datasheet explicitly states "Case is connected to pin 5 (V−)" in the Connection Diagrams section.
