Product details
Overview
LM193JG from Texas Instruments is a dual differential comparator IC designed for military-grade operation across −55°C to +125°C, featuring open-collector outputs, 2 V to 36 V supply range, 2 mV typical input offset voltage, 25 nA typical input bias current, and compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS logic - deployed in motor control, weigh scale, and chemical sensor systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM193JG datasheet, LM193JG pinout, LM193JG application, or LM193JG equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, military-qualified thermal and ESD performance (±1000 V HBM), package-specific pin mapping for CDIP-8, and real-world design context for high-reliability analog threshold detection.
Technical Context
The LM193JG implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input stages enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input down to ground and up to VCC−1.5 V at 25°C (VCC−2 V at temperature extremes), with low input bias current (25 nA typ) and fast response (1.3 µs typical at 100-mV overdrive).
Its open-drain NPN output stage sinks up to 6 mA while maintaining low saturation voltage (150–400 mV at 4 mA), supports wired-AND logic, and interfaces directly to 3.3 V/5 V/15 V/30 V logic domains via external pull-up - all while drawing only 0.8–2.5 mA total supply current independent of VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports single-supply industrial/military systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV (typ) - enables accurate threshold detection within ±2 mV at room temperature |
| Input Bias Current | 25 nA (typ) - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor sources like strain gauges or pH electrodes |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC−1.5 V (25°C) - allows direct sensing referenced to ground in single-supply configurations |
| Output Sink Current | 6 mA (min) - drives standard LED indicators, relay coils, or logic inputs without external buffers |
| Response Time | 1.3 µs (typ, 100-mV overdrive) - suitable for sub-microsecond edge detection in motor commutation or fault monitoring |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±1000 V - meets MIL-STD-883 Class 3B handling requirements for ruggedized assembly environments |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP-8), 10.00 mm × 7.00 mm body size, hermetically sealed, with 0.100" lead pitch and SNPB (tin-lead) finish - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector NPN drain - requires external pull-up; sinks current when IN− > IN+ + VIO |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Negative input terminal of first comparator; accepts signals from 0 V to VCC−1.5 V |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive input terminal of first comparator; same common-mode range as 1IN− |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground connection; common return for both comparators and supply decoupling |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single positive supply input (2–36 V); no negative supply required for operation |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-collector output - electrically isolated from 1OUT for dual-threshold designs |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Second comparator's negative input; fully independent signal path from first comparator |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Second comparator's positive input; supports differential or single-ended reference configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent comparators | Two fully isolated voltage comparison channels in one CDIP-8 package - reduces board space vs discrete solutions |
| Wide supply range (2–36 V) | Operates from low-voltage battery rails (2 V) up to industrial 24/32-V systems without external regulators |
| Ground-sensing input stage | PNP Darlington input enables common-mode range down to 0 V - eliminates need for negative supply in sensor front-ends |
| Open-collector outputs | Supports wired-AND logic, mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU + 24 V actuator), and flexible pull-up selection |
| MIL-PRF-38535 qualification | Tested across −55°C to +125°C with full parameter screening - suitable for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903JG | Same CDIP-8 package, −40°C to +125°C temp range, 7 mV max offset (vs 9 mV for LM193JG), lower cost | Commercial/mixed-signal industrial use; not MIL-qualified; lacks full −55°C capability | Select when extended cold temperature operation is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs military screening. |
| LM393DR | SOIC-8 package, 0°C to +70°C rating, 5 mV max offset, RoHS-compliant SnAgCu finish | Consumer/desktop electronics; surface-mount assembly; no hermetic sealing or radiation tolerance | Choose for high-volume PCB assembly where reflow compatibility and footprint density are prioritized over environmental ruggedness. |
Compared with LM2903JG and LM393DR, the LM193JG uniquely delivers −55°C start-up capability, MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening, and hermetic ceramic packaging - making it irreplaceable in mission-critical aerospace, defense, and oilfield electronics where long-term reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LM193JG?
The LM193JG is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C, as confirmed by MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification testing. This full military temperature range is explicitly specified in the SLIS183 datasheet Section 6.3 and applies to the LM193JG variant in CDIP-8 (JG) packaging. It exceeds the −40°C to +125°C range of the commercial LM2903JG and the 0°C to +70°C range of the LM393DR.
Does the LM193JG require a dual power supply?
No, the LM193JG operates from a single supply ranging from 2 V to 36 V. Its input common-mode range includes ground (0 V), and its open-collector outputs function correctly with only VCC and GND connections. Dual-supply operation is possible only if the difference between supplies remains within 2 V to 36 V and VCC is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage - but this configuration is not required for standard use.
What is the maximum differential input voltage the LM193JG can tolerate?
The LM193JG supports a maximum differential input voltage (VID) of ±36 V, as stated in Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the SLIS183 datasheet. This rating applies regardless of supply voltage and allows safe operation even when one input is driven to VCC while the other is grounded - a key advantage for robust sensor interface and fault-monitoring circuits.
Can the LM193JG outputs be wire-OR'd together?
Yes, the LM193JG features open-collector outputs that are explicitly designed for wired-AND (or wire-OR in active-low logic) configurations. As described in the "Description" section and Figure 7 of the SLIS183 datasheet, connecting multiple LM193JG outputs to a shared pull-up resistor creates logical AND functionality - commonly used for power-good arbitration or multi-channel alarm consolidation without additional logic gates.
Is the LM193JG RoHS compliant?
No, the LM193JG uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is not RoHS compliant, as confirmed in the Package Option Addendum table where "RoHS" is marked "No" for all JG-packaged variants including LM193JG and LM193JG.A. This reflects its heritage as a MIL-PRF-38535-qualified part intended for high-reliability applications where leaded finishes provide superior solder joint fatigue resistance under thermal cycling.
