Product details
Overview
LM239AQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator qualified for automotive applications, operating from 2 V to 36 V single or dual supplies, with 2 mV typical input offset voltage, 25 nA typical input bias current, and open-collector TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs-used in battery monitoring, engine control voltage threshold detection, and ABS sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LM239AQDRQ1 datasheet, LM239AQDRQ1 pinout, LM239AQDRQ1 application, or LM239AQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), ESD robustness (>2000 V CDM), low supply current (0.8 mA typ), and differential input voltage tolerance up to ±36 V.
Technical Context
The LM239AQDRQ1 integrates four independent comparators with internal 80-µA current regulators per channel, enabling stable operation across wide supply ranges without external biasing. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to ground and differential inputs up to ±36 V, making it suitable for high-side sensing and rail-to-rail signal comparison in noisy automotive environments.
Each comparator features an open-collector output capable of sinking up to 16 mA, compatible with wired-AND logic configurations and direct interfacing to TTL, MOS, and CMOS loads. The device's low input offset current (5 nA typ) and low input bias current minimize errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces such as thermistor or potentiometer-based feedback networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V single or dual supply - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive batteries without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV typical - enables accurate threshold detection at sub-100 mV levels in precision voltage monitoring circuits. |
| Input Bias Current | 25 nA typical - allows use with high-impedance sources (e.g., >1 MΩ sensor dividers) without significant error. |
| Response Time | 0.3 µs typical (TTL-level step, CL = 15 pF) - suitable for fast edge detection in ignition timing or PWM fault sensing. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood engine control module deployment. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V charged-device model - meets automotive system-level ESD immunity requirements without external protection. |
| Output Sink Current | 16 mA maximum - drives LEDs, relays, or logic inputs directly without external buffer transistors. |

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitoring | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Threshold Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time monitoring of 12 V lead-acid or 48 V mild-hybrid battery voltage during cranking and charging cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator performs simultaneous low-voltage cutoff, overvoltage alarm, charge-complete flag, and alternator field control enable. Use Value: Enables precise, temperature-stable thresholds without calibration; 0.8 mA supply current minimizes parasitic drain during sleep mode. | Use Scenario: Detecting camshaft/crankshaft position sensor zero-crossings and validating throttle position voltage windows in gasoline direct injection systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four-channel window comparator validates analog sensor outputs against dynamic upper/lower bounds defined by microcontroller DACs. Use Value: 0.3 µs response time ensures accurate timing capture at 10 kHz crankshaft speeds; −40°C to +125°C operation guarantees reliability under hood. |
| Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Sensor Signal Conditioning | Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Fault Aggregation |
Use Scenario: Converting variable-reluctance wheel speed sensor AC waveforms into clean digital pulses for ABS controller input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator channel acts as zero-crossing detector with hysteresis; remaining channels monitor supply integrity and sensor bias faults. Use Value: Input common-mode range including ground allows direct connection to floating sensor coils; 25 nA input bias avoids loading high-Z sensor circuits. | Use Scenario: Consolidating overcurrent, overtemperature, and short-circuit alerts from multiple solid-state switches into a single fault interrupt line for vehicle central gateway. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Wired-AND configuration of four open-collector outputs creates OR-fault bus that pulls low on any detected anomaly. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete diodes or logic gates; 16 mA sink capability drives long PCB traces or optocouplers directly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM239QDRQ1 | Higher input offset voltage (3 mV typ vs. 2 mV), otherwise identical pinout, specs, and qualification. | Suitable for non-critical automotive functions where tighter threshold accuracy is not required. | Select LM239AQDRQ1 when <2.5 mV offset is mandatory for sensor linearity or low-voltage detection. |
| TLV1704QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, lower supply current (125 µA/ch), but only 5.5 V max supply and no ±36 V differential input rating. | Limited to low-voltage domains (e.g., infotainment, body control); not suitable for direct battery sensing. | Choose TLV1704QDRQ1 only for 3.3 V/5 V systems requiring ultra-low power and RRI performance. |
Compared with LM239QDRQ1, LM239AQDRQ1 delivers tighter offset for precision thresholding; compared with TLV1704QDRQ1, it supports full automotive battery voltage range and high-differential-swing sensor interfaces at higher quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LM239AQDRQ1?
The LM239AQDRQ1 is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for automotive under-hood applications. This range is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including input offset voltage, response time, and output saturation voltage, ensuring consistent performance in engine control units and transmission control modules.
Does the LM239AQDRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the LM239AQDRQ1 supports dual-supply operation provided the difference between the two supplies is 2 V to 36 V and the positive supply (VCC) is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. This flexibility allows use in mixed-signal systems where analog sections operate from split rails while digital logic uses single-ended supplies.
What is the maximum differential input voltage the LM239AQDRQ1 can withstand?
The LM239AQDRQ1 supports a differential input voltage of ±36 V, meaning the voltage at IN+ may exceed IN− by up to 36 V or fall below it by up to 36 V without damage or phase reversal. This rating is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and enables direct interfacing with unconditioned sensor outputs in high-voltage automotive subsystems.
Can the LM239AQDRQ1 outputs drive a 5 V logic input directly?
No-the LM239AQDRQ1 has open-collector outputs and cannot source current. To interface with a 5 V logic input, an external pull-up resistor to 5 V must be used. The output will sink current when active low, pulling the node to ≤400 mV (typical) at 4 mA load, satisfying TTL and CMOS low-level input requirements.
Is the LM239AQDRQ1 pin-compatible with standard LM239 variants?
Yes, the LM239AQDRQ1 uses the same SOIC-14 (D) package and identical pinout as industrial-grade LM239 and LM239A devices, including LM239DR, LM239ADR, and LM239QDRQ1. However, its automotive qualification, tighter offset spec, and enhanced ESD ratings make it the preferred choice for safety-critical vehicle systems.
