Product details
Overview
LM193J/883 from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, dual precision voltage comparator designed for high-reliability military and space applications. It features 2.0 mV max input offset voltage, 0.4 mA supply current at 5 V, ±1.0 V to ±18 V dual-supply or 2.0–36 V single-supply operation, and input common-mode range extending to ground. It is used in zero-crossing detection, time-delay generators, and analog-to-digital interfaces in harsh-environment systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM193J/883 datasheet, LM193J/883 pinout, LM193J/883 application, or LM193J/883 equivalent, key selection criteria include radiation tolerance (100 krad(Si), ELDRS-free), guaranteed operation from −55°C to +125°C, low-input-bias-current (±100 nA max), and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic outputs without level-shifting circuitry.
Technical Context
The LM193J/883 implements two independent PNP-input comparators with open-collector NPN output stages, enabling wired-OR functionality and flexible pull-up voltage selection up to 36 V. Its bias network delivers supply-current independence across 2.0–36 V, and its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to ground on single supplies - eliminating need for negative rails in sensing applications.
Designed per MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements, it undergoes full Group A testing including static/dynamic functional verification at −55°C, +25°C, and +125°C, plus radiation qualification to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose with no enhanced low-dose-rate sensitivity (ELDRS-free). Output saturation voltage remains ≤0.4 V at 4 mA sink current under nominal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | Max ±2.0 mV at +25°C - enables accurate threshold detection in precision limit-comparator circuits |
| Supply Current | 0.4 mA typical at 5 V - supports battery-operated or low-power embedded monitoring systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1.0 V to ±18 V dual or 2.0 VDC to 36 VDC single - allows direct interface with legacy 5 V, 12 V, or 28 V avionics buses |
| Input Bias Current | −100 nA to −1.0 nA - minimizes loading error in high-impedance sensor signal paths |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 0.4 V max at 4 mA sink - ensures reliable logic-low assertion into TTL/CMOS inputs without additional level translation |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground on single supply - permits direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground (e.g., current-sense shunts) |
| Response Time | 0.8 µs at 50 mV overdrive - suitable for pulse-width modulation feedback and fast edge-detection timing circuits |
Pinout & Package
LM193J/883 is supplied in an 8-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), package code NAB, with hermetically sealed construction rated for −55°C to +125°C operation. The package meets MIL-STD-883 mechanical and environmental requirements for military-grade reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output A | Open-collector NPN output - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 6 mA; compatible with TTL/CMOS/MOS logic |
| 2 | Inverting Input A | PNP-base input node - accepts voltages from −0.3 V to V+; supports ground-referenced sensing |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input A | PNP-base input node - differential input voltage range equals supply voltage magnitude |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply terminal - supports dual-supply operation down to −18 V or serves as ground reference in single-supply mode |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input B | Second comparator input - electrically isolated from Channel A; identical input characteristics |
| 6 | Inverting Input B | Second comparator input - enables dual-threshold or window-comparator configurations |
| 7 | Output B | Independent open-collector output - supports separate logic interfacing or wired-OR with Output A |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts up to +36 V DC; bias current independent of supply magnitude |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Radiation Hardness | Qualified to 100 krad(Si) TID with ELDRS-free performance - certified for satellite power regulation and onboard telemetry |
| Ground-Sensing Input Stage | Input common-mode range includes 0 V on single supply - eliminates need for level-shifting in shunt-based current monitoring |
| Logic-Compatible Output | Output sinks ≥6 mA at <0.4 V saturation - directly drives TTL, DTL, ECL, MOS, and CMOS without interface buffers |
| Wide Supply Flexibility | Operates from ±1.0 V to ±18 V or 2.0–36 V single supply - simplifies integration into mixed-voltage military subsystems |
| Temperature-Stable Offset | Input offset drift ≤±1.0 mV over full −55°C to +125°C range - maintains accuracy in uncontrolled thermal environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM193AH/883 | TO-99 metal-can package (8-pin); identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (θJA = 174°C/W still air) and mechanical mounting | Preferred where hermetic metal packaging and superior thermal conduction are required (e.g., high-power density modules) | Select LM193AH/883 when board layout accommodates TO-99 footprint and thermal management prioritizes junction-to-case conduction |
| LM193AJ-QMLV | Same CDIP-8 package; qualified to QML-V Class V (full burn-in, lot acceptance test) and specified for space-grade use with extended radiation reporting | Required for NASA or ESA Class B/C missions where full QML-V documentation and traceability are mandated | Choose LM193AJ-QMLV when program-level certification (e.g., NASA GSFC-STD-7000) supersedes standard MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements |
Compared with LM193AH/883 and LM193AJ-QMLV, the LM193J/883 provides MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification in CDIP packaging at lower cost and broader commercial availability, while maintaining identical comparator performance - making it optimal for defense electronics where full QML-V is not mandated but radiation hardness and temperature range are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LM193J/883 relative to its supply rails?
The LM193J/883 allows differential input voltage up to ±36 V, and individual input voltages may exceed V+ by up to 36 V provided the other input remains within the common-mode range. However, input voltage must not fall below −0.3 VDC (or 0.3 V below the negative rail if used) to prevent damage. This specification is verified per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.
Does LM193J/883 support single-supply operation with ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, LM193J/883 supports true single-supply operation with input common-mode voltage range extending to ground (0 V), enabling direct interface with sensors referenced to system ground - such as current-sense resistors or thermistor dividers - without level-shifting circuitry.
What radiation qualification level does LM193J/883 meet?
LM193J/883 is qualified to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID) with ELDRS-free performance per MIL-STD-883 Method 1019, and has undergone full Group A testing including dynamic functional verification across −55°C, +25°C, and +125°C per Method 5005.
Can the outputs of LM193J/883 be wired together for logical OR functionality?
Yes, LM193J/883 features open-collector NPN outputs that can be directly wired together (wired-OR) with a single pull-up resistor to implement combinational logic functions - such as alarm consolidation or multi-sensor event triggering - without risk of contention or excessive current draw.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LM193J/883?
LM193J/883 is fully characterized and guaranteed to operate across −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with all electrical parameters validated per MIL-STD-883 Group A subgroups at these extremes - making it suitable for deployment in jet engine bays, satellite payloads, and desert-deployed radar systems.
