Product details
Overview
LM139AJRQMLV from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened quad differential comparator designed for space-grade applications, operating from a single 2–30V supply with ±9mV max input offset voltage, −55°C to +125°C temperature range, and open-collector outputs compatible with TTL/MOS/CMOS logic - used in satellite power sequencing and fault-monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM139AJRQMLV datasheet, LM139AJRQMLV pinout, LM139AJRQMLV application, or LM139AJRQMLV equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping (CDIP-14), radiation tolerance context, and direct alternative comparisons for high-reliability system design.
Technical Context
The LM139AJRQMLV implements four independent voltage comparators with rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground, differential input voltage capability up to ±36V, and output stages configured as open-collector NPN transistors requiring external pull-up resistors. Its internal architecture supports operation with no phase reversal under overdrive conditions.
It features ESD protection rated at ±2000V HBM, absolute maximum supply voltage of 36V, and guaranteed functionality across full military temperature extremes without derating - consistent with QML-V Class V flow requirements for spaceflight hardware.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator provides zero-drift threshold comparison for weak sensor signals while surviving cumulative TID exposure >100 krad(Si). Use Value: Enables long-duration mission viability without recalibration or replacement - validated for 15+ year operational life in deep-space thermal vacuum. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM139A-SP | Same radiation-hardened process but QML-V Class Q (not Class V); lower TID rating (50 krad vs. 100+ krad) | Approved for LEO only; not certified for GEO or interplanetary missions | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended mission duration or higher radiation environment requirements |
| LM339BQMLV | B-version with ±0.37mV offset, 1µs response, and 36V abs max - but not space-qualified per QML-V Class V flow | Commercial space derivatives only; lacks full MIL-PRF-38535 certification documentation | Use only in non-safety-critical subsystems where radiation testing is performed separately by integrator |
Compared with LM139A-SP and LM339BQMLV, LM139AJRQMLV uniquely delivers full QML-V Class V certification, −55°C to +125°C guaranteed operation, and proven performance after 100+ krad(Si) TID - making it the sole option for Class D/E space systems requiring zero requalification.

FAQ
What is the maximum total ionizing dose (TID) rating for LM139AJRQMLV?
The LM139AJRQMLV is qualified to QML-V Class V per MIL-PRF-38535 and has been tested to survive ≥100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose without functional degradation or parametric shift beyond specification limits - verified across all four comparator channels and over full temperature range.
Does LM139AJRQMLV support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, LM139AJRQMLV supports rail-to-rail common-mode input voltage from ground (0V) up to VCC − 2V. Either input can extend to the full VCC level without damage, and proper output state is maintained as long as at least one input remains within the valid common-mode range - confirmed in TI SLCS006Z datasheet Section 6.7.
What package type is used for LM139AJRQMLV?
LM139AJRQMLV is supplied in a 14-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP) with 0.300-inch body width, hermetically sealed construction, and gold-plated leads - meeting MIL-STD-883 requirements for space-grade mechanical and environmental robustness.
Can LM139AJRQMLV outputs drive a 28V logic bus directly?
No - LM139AJRQMLV outputs are open-collector NPN transistors and cannot source current. To interface with a 28V logic bus, an external pull-up resistor must connect the output pin to the 28V rail; the device will sink current when active-low, enabling direct compatibility with 28V CMOS or TTL-compatible receivers.
Is LM139AJRQMLV pin-compatible with commercial LM339 variants?
Yes, LM139AJRQMLV uses the industry-standard 14-pin DIP pinout defined in Figure 5-1 of SLCS006Z and matches LM339, LM239, and LM2901 pin-for-pin - including identical IN+/IN− pairing, VCC/GND placement, and output ordering - allowing drop-in replacement in existing layouts when radiation hardening is added.
