Product details
Overview
LM2901BQPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified quad open-drain automotive comparator operating from 2 V to 36 V supply, with ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and 1 µs typical propagation delay at 5 V. It serves as a precision voltage comparison engine in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2901BQPWRQ1 datasheet, LM2901BQPWRQ1 pinout, LM2901BQPWRQ1 application, or LM2901BQPWRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, automotive-grade reliability data, and functional alternatives for safety-critical design validation.
Technical Context
The LM2901BQPWRQ1 implements four independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators, enabling high-gain, low-input-bias operation with common-mode range extending from ground to VCC – 2.0 V across –40°C to +125°C. Its open-drain NPN output stage supports wired-AND logic and flexible level-shifting via external pull-up.
It features dedicated ESD protection on all pins (2 kV HBM), improved negative input voltage tolerance versus legacy versions, and operates with single or dual supplies-provided VCC exceeds input common-mode voltage by ≥1.5 V and supply differential stays within 2 V to 36 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports direct battery-sensing in 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - enables accurate threshold detection in low-voltage sensor interfaces (e.g., coolant temp, brake fluid level) |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading error on high-impedance voltage dividers used in battery monitoring circuits |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 1 µs at 5 V - sufficient for real-time overvoltage/undervoltage fault response in powertrain control units |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets AEC-Q100 Class 2 requirement for robustness in assembly and field environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - validated for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive ECUs per Grade 1 |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows interface to mixed-voltage logic (e.g., 3.3 V MCU I/O) using external pull-up resistor |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package (4.40 mm × 5.00 mm), lead pitch 0.65 mm, exposed pad not present. Pin numbering follows JEDEC MS-012 standard with top-side marking orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (2IN–) | Negative input of Comparator 2 | Accepts signal below reference; common-mode range includes ground for direct sensor grounding |
| 2 (2IN+) | Positive input of Comparator 2 | Accepts reference or monitored signal; supports rail-to-rail input up to VCC – 2.0 V |
| 3 (1IN–) | Negative input of Comparator 1 | Dedicated channel for primary fault detection (e.g., battery disconnect sensing) |
| 4 (1IN+) | Positive input of Comparator 1 | Configurable as threshold reference or secondary sensor input |

| 6 (2OUT) | Open-drain output of Comparator 2 | Sinks current when 2IN– > 2IN+ + VIO; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
| 7 (1OUT) | Open-drain output of Comparator 1 | Wired-AND capable - multiple outputs can share one pull-up for fault-bus signaling |
| 8 (4IN–) | Negative input of Comparator 4 | Used for redundant or auxiliary monitoring (e.g., HVAC blower overcurrent) |
| 9 (3IN+) | Positive input of Comparator 3 | Supports differential or single-ended configuration depending on PCB routing |
| 10 (3IN–) | Negative input of Comparator 3 | Enables window-comparator topology when paired with Comparator 4 |
| 11 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all comparators and internal bias; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 12 (4OUT) | Open-drain output of Comparator 4 | Provides fourth independent fault flag; compatible with 1.8 V–5 V logic families |
| 13 (3OUT) | Open-drain output of Comparator 3 | Supports daisy-chained diagnostics via shared pull-up and RC filter for glitch rejection |
| 14 (4IN+) | Positive input of Comparator 4 | Completes quad-channel set for multi-threshold applications like battery cell balancing supervision |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2901BQPWRQ1?
The LM2901BQPWRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the TI datasheet SLCS142H. This allows direct integration into 24 V commercial vehicle systems and 48 V mild-hybrid architectures without external regulation. Operation above 36 V risks permanent damage to the internal ESD structures and input transistors.
Does LM2901BQPWRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2901BQPWRQ1 supports dual-supply operation provided the difference between V+ and V– remains within 2 V to 36 V, and V+ is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. This enables use in split-rail sensor signal conditioning where ground-referenced inputs coexist with negative supply domains.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on LM2901BQPWRQ1 in TSSOP-14?
The LM2901BQPWRQ1 in TSSOP-14 has no NC (no-connect) pins - all 14 pins are functionally assigned per Table 4-1 of SLCS142H. The NC designation appears only in WQFN-16 and X2QFN-14 variants. For TSSOP-14, pins 1–14 correspond directly to comparator inputs, outputs, VCC, and GND with no unused terminals.
Can LM2901BQPWRQ1 drive a 5 V logic input directly?
Yes, LM2901BQPWRQ1 can drive a 5 V logic input directly using an external 5 V pull-up resistor on any output pin. Its open-drain NPN output sinks current when active and presents high impedance when inactive, allowing clean interfacing with 5 V CMOS or TTL inputs without level-shifting components.
Is LM2901BQPWRQ1 pin-compatible with LM2901QPWRQ1?
Yes, LM2901BQPWRQ1 is pin-compatible with LM2901QPWRQ1 in the same TSSOP-14 package - both share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal pad absence. This enables drop-in replacement for upgraded offset, speed, and ESD performance without PCB redesign.
