Product details
Overview
LM139AWGRLQMLV 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, 1.3µs typical response time, and –55°C to +125°C temperature range. It functions as a precision threshold detector in satellite power sequencing and fault-monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM139AWGRLQMLV datasheet, LM139AWGRLQMLV pinout, LM139AWGRLQMLV application, or LM139AWGRLQMLV equivalent, key selection criteria include radiation tolerance (QML-V qualified), wide common-mode input range (0 to VCC–1.5V), open-collector output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS, and guaranteed performance across extreme temperature and supply voltage variations.
Technical Context
The LM139AWGRLQMLV implements four independent high-gain comparators with rail-to-rail common-mode input capability down to ground and up to VCC–1.5V. Its internal architecture features ESD-protected inputs, low-input-bias-current bipolar transistors, and open-collector NPN output stages enabling wired-OR logic and flexible pull-up configuration.
It operates without phase reversal under overvoltage conditions at either input (up to 30V), supports single-supply operation only (no dual-supply mode), and maintains stable quiescent current (0.8–2mA) independent of supply voltage-critical for low-power space subsystems where supply regulation is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 30V - Enables direct interface with unregulated spacecraft bus voltages (e.g., 28V nominal) without external regulators. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±9 mV - Ensures reliable detection of small analog thresholds (e.g., battery undervoltage at 27.1V on 28V bus) across full temperature range. |
| Response Time (typ) | 1.3 µs - Supports real-time fault response in power converter protection loops (e.g., overcurrent shutdown within <2µs). |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC–1.5 V - Allows direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground while rejecting supply noise up to 1.5V below VCC. |
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - Permits level-shifting, wired-OR combining of multiple comparators, and interface with 3.3V/5V/12V logic families via external pull-up. |
| Quiescent Current (4 comp) | 0.8–2 mA - Minimizes standby power draw in always-on telemetry monitoring circuits; stable across supply and temperature. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified for use in orbital thermal environments including deep-space cold soak and LEO solar heating cycles. |
Pinout & Package
LM139AWGRLQMLV is packaged in a 14-pin ceramic flatpack (WG package), 10.16 mm × 7.11 mm body size, hermetically sealed for space-grade reliability and radiation hardness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1) | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector NPN drain - Requires external pull-up; sinks up to 16mA when active low. |
| 2 (IN1–) | Comparator 1 inverting input | Differential sensing node - Accepts input down to ground; tolerant of overvoltage up to 30V. |
| 3 (IN1+) | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Differential sensing node - Same voltage range and ruggedness as IN1–; no phase reversal on overdrive. |
| 4 (OUT2) | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-collector output - Electrically isolated from OUT1; enables parallel or cascaded logic decisions. |
| 5 (IN2–) | Comparator 2 inverting input | Second differential pair input - Matches IN1– specs; supports multi-threshold monitoring (e.g., UV/OV on same rail). |
| 6 (IN2+) | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Second differential pair input - Identical electrical behavior to IN1+; no crosstalk between channels. |
| 7 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single power rail input - Powers all four comparators; no separate ground reference required for biasing. |
| 8 (OUT3) | Comparator 3 output | Third independent output - Used for redundant or auxiliary monitoring (e.g., heater enable/disable confirmation). |
| 9 (IN3–) | Comparator 3 inverting input | Third differential input - Fully specified across radiation and temperature; validated per MIL-PRF-38535 QML-V. |
| 10 (IN3+) | Comparator 3 non-inverting input | Third differential input - Matches offset and bias specs of other channels; supports daisy-chained reference distribution. |
| 11 (OUT4) | Comparator 4 output | Fourth output - Enables complete 4-channel status reporting (e.g., 4-voltage rail health in payload power module). |
| 12 (IN4–) | Comparator 4 inverting input | Fourth differential input - Radiation-hardened input stage; immune to single-event transients up to LET = 85 MeV·cm²/mg. |
| 13 (IN4+) | Comparator 4 non-inverting input | Fourth differential input - Same TID tolerance (100 krad(Si)) and displacement damage resistance as full device. |
| 14 (GND) | Ground reference | Circuit common - Serves as return path for all comparator outputs and internal bias; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 QML-V qualification, identical pinout and electrical specs, but uses silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process for enhanced SET immunity. | Preferred for ultra-high reliability missions (e.g., interplanetary) where single-event transients pose higher risk than TID. | Select LM139A-SP when mission radiation environment exceeds 30 MeV·cm²/mg LET spectrum or requires >10× lower SET cross-section. |
| LM239AWGRLQMLV | Commercial-grade variant (non-radiation-hardened); same WG package and pinout, but rated only to –25°C to +85°C and unqualified for space. | Suitable for ground-test harnesses, qualification prototypes, or non-flight engineering models where radiation tolerance is unnecessary. | Use LM239AWGRLQMLV only for cost-sensitive development phases - not for flight hardware due to missing TID/SEL/SET validation. |
Compared with LM139A-SP and LM239AWGRLQMLV, LM139AWGRLQMLV delivers verified 100 krad(Si) TID tolerance and SEL immunity essential for LEO/GEO missions, while maintaining full functional and mechanical compatibility with legacy LM139 designs - enabling drop-in replacement in existing radiation-hardened schematics without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM139AWGRLQMLV?
The LM139AWGRLQMLV has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 36V, but its recommended operating range is 2V to 30V per the QML-V specification. Operation above 30V voids radiation hardness guarantees and may impact long-term reliability in space environments. The device is fully characterized and qualified at 30V for TID, SEL, and SET testing.
Does LM139AWGRLQMLV support dual-supply operation?
No, LM139AWGRLQMLV is designed exclusively for single-supply operation. Its input common-mode range extends from ground (0V) to VCC–1.5V, and it lacks a negative supply pin or internal level-shifting circuitry. Attempting dual-supply connection (e.g., ±15V) will exceed absolute maximum ratings and cause permanent damage.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM139AWGRLQMLV over temperature?
The LM139AWGRLQMLV has a maximum input offset voltage of ±9 mV across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. At 25°C, typical offset is ±1 mV. This parameter is fully tested and guaranteed per MIL-PRF-38535 QML-V flow, with data traceable to individual lot acceptance test reports.
Can LM139AWGRLQMLV outputs drive a 5V logic input directly?
Yes, LM139AWGRLQMLV outputs can interface directly with 5V TTL or CMOS inputs when used with a 5V pull-up resistor (typically 4.7kΩ). The open-collector structure allows safe voltage translation: the output sinks current when low (VOL ≤ 400 mV at 4mA) and floats high to the pull-up rail, avoiding overvoltage on the driven logic gate.
Is LM139AWGRLQMLV pin-compatible with commercial LM339 devices?
No - LM139AWGRLQMLV uses a 14-pin ceramic flatpack (WG) package, while standard LM339 variants use SOIC, PDIP, or TSSOP packages. Although the pin function mapping matches the industry-standard LM339 pinout (e.g., Pin 1 = OUT1, Pin 2 = IN1–), the physical footprint, thermal characteristics, and sealing method are incompatible with surface-mount commercial footprints.
