Product details
Overview
LM193AHRQMLV from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, low-power, dual voltage comparator with 2.0 mV max input offset voltage, 0.4 mA supply current at 5 V, and operation from 2.0 VDC to 36 VDC single supply - used in space-grade analog monitoring, fault detection, and precision threshold sensing in satellite power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM193AHRQMLV datasheet, LM193AHRQMLV pinout, LM193AHRQMLV application, or LM193AHRQMLV equivalent, this device delivers verified TID tolerance up to 100 krad(Si), ELDRS-free performance, ground-sensing capability on single supply, and TTL/CMOS-compatible open-collector outputs for high-reliability aerospace signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LM193AHRQMLV integrates two independent high-gain comparators with PNP input stages enabling input common-mode voltage range extending to ground on single supply. Its uncommitted NPN output transistors support wired-OR logic and flexible pull-up to any rail within the 2–36 V range.
Designed per MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements, it undergoes full radiation qualification including Total Ionizing Dose (TID) testing at 100 krad(Si) and ELDRS-free validation under low-dose-rate conditions. Electrical parameters are guaranteed across −55°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | ±2.0 mV max - enables precise threshold detection without trimming in radiation-exposed environments |
| Supply Current | 0.4 mA typ at 5 V - supports long-duration battery or bus-powered operation in remote spacecraft subsystems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 VDC to 36 VDC single supply - eliminates need for dual rails in avionics power sequencing circuits |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Includes ground - allows direct sensing of low-side current shunts or battery cell voltages |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 250 mV at 4 mA sink - ensures reliable logic-low assertion into TTL/CMOS loads under radiation stress |
| Response Time | 0.8 µs at 50 mV overdrive - supports fast fault response in motor control watchdog or solar array disconnect logic |
| Radiation Tolerance | 100 krad(Si) TID, ELDRS-free - qualified for use in geosynchronous and deep-space missions per QML-V requirements |
Pinout & Package
LM193AHRQMLV is housed in an 8-pin hermetically sealed TO-99 metal can package (package code LMC), rated for −55°C to +125°C operation and compatible with standard military socketing and thermal mounting practices.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Comparator A) | Accepts reference or sensed signal; supports common-mode down to ground |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Comparator A) | Accepts monitored signal; differential input voltage may exceed V+ without damage |
| 3 | Output (Comparator A) | Open-collector NPN - requires external pull-up; supports wired-OR with other comparators |
| 4 | V− / Ground | Power return or system ground reference; input common-mode includes this node |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (Comparator B) | Independent second channel input; identical electrical specs to Pin 2 |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Comparator B) | Independent second channel input; identical electrical specs to Pin 1 |
| 7 | Output (Comparator B) | Open-collector NPN - electrically isolated from Pin 3; enables dual-threshold detection |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts 2.0–36 VDC; supply current independent of voltage magnitude |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-sensing input stage | Enables direct interface with low-side current sense resistors or battery terminals without level-shifting |
| Open-collector outputs | Supports flexible logic interfacing (TTL/CMOS/DTL/ECL/MOS) and wired-OR configuration for alarm consolidation |
| Single-supply operation | Eliminates need for negative rail in compact avionics modules, reducing board area and power conversion complexity |

FAQ
What radiation qualification level does the LM193AHRQMLV meet?
The LM193AHRQMLV is fully qualified to QML-V per MIL-PRF-38535, with verified Total Ionizing Dose (TID) tolerance of 100 krad(Si) and confirmed ELDRS-free performance under low-dose-rate irradiation per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 Condition D. All electrical parameters are tested pre- and post-irradiation across −55°C to +125°C.
Can the LM193AHRQMLV operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the LM193AHRQMLV supports single-supply operation from 2.0 VDC to 36 VDC. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality including ground-referenced input common-mode range and TTL-compatible output saturation - validated in LM193A Electrical Characteristics tables with test conditions at +V = 5 V and +V = 30 V.
What is the maximum differential input voltage the LM193AHRQMLV can withstand?
The LM193AHRQMLV permits differential input voltage up to ±36 V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying ±36 V differential input and input voltage range of −0.3 V to +36 V. This allows safe operation even when one input exceeds V+ by up to 36 V, provided the other remains within common-mode limits.
Does the LM193AHRQMLV require external hysteresis for stable operation?
Hysteresis is recommended for noise immunity in noisy environments, but not strictly required for basic DC threshold detection. The LM193AHRQMLV's high gain and wide bandwidth make it susceptible to oscillation if output traces capacitively couple to inputs; adding 1–10 mV positive feedback eliminates transition-time instability, as documented in TI's APPLICATION HINTS section.
How does the LM193AHRQMLV differ from commercial-grade LM193A?
The LM193AHRQMLV differs from commercial LM193A in radiation hardening (100 krad TID, ELDRS-free), extended temperature range (−55°C to +125°C), rigorous MIL-STD-883 Group A/B testing, hermetic TO-99 packaging, and QML-V certification. Electrical specs are tightened - e.g., input offset voltage is ±2.0 mV max vs. ±5.0 mV for standard LM193A.
