Product details
Overview
LM2903AVQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain voltage comparator for automotive systems, operating from 2 V to 32 V supply, with ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and 1 µs typical propagation delay. It serves in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring, body control module voltage supervision, and infotainment system level-shifting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903AVQDRQ1 datasheet, LM2903AVQDRQ1 pinout, LM2903AVQDRQ1 application, or LM2903AVQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), open-drain output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS, differential input voltage range up to ±36 V, low 600 µA total quiescent current at 5 V, and validated functional safety documentation support.
Technical Context
The LM2903AVQDRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington-pair input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input down to ground and up to VCC – 1.5 V, with internal clamping (Q15) forcing low output when inputs exceed VCM range. Its open-drain NPN output stage sinks up to 21 mA and interfaces directly with pull-up networks for logic-level translation.
It supports single-supply operation from 2 V to 32 V (V-suffix rating), maintains stable performance across –40°C to +125°C ambient, and features dedicated ESD protection (2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM) per AEC-Q100-002/011, distinguishing it from legacy LM2903-Q1 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 32 V - Enables direct interface with 12 V/24 V automotive rails and 3.3 V/5 V logic without level shifters. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - Ensures accurate threshold detection in battery monitoring and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - Minimizes loading on high-impedance voltage dividers and resistive sensors. |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 1 µs - Supports real-time overvoltage/undervoltage fault response in powertrain subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current (typ) | 600 µA - Reduces standby power in always-on vehicle modules like body control units. |
| Differential Input Range | ±36 V - Allows safe comparison of signals referenced to different potentials (e.g., isolated CAN bus monitoring). |

Pinout & Package
LM2903AVQDRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are standardized across SOIC, TSSOP, VSSOP, WSON, and SOT-23 variants per TI's LM2903-Q1 family pinout specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN collector - Requires external pull-up; enables wired-AND and multi-voltage logic interfacing. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Negative input node of first comparator - Accepts signals from 0 V to VCC − 1.5 V with guaranteed operation. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive input node of first comparator - Can exceed VCC level without damage; supports high-side sensing. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and inputs - Must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Positive input node of second comparator - Electrically isolated from 1st comparator; shares same supply and ground. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Negative input node of second comparator - Matches 1IN− electrical behavior and voltage range. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain NPN collector - Independent of 1OUT; allows dual independent decision outputs in one package. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Main power rail - Rated for 32 V maximum (V-suffix); supplies both comparators and internal bias circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903BQDRQ1 | Same package, 2 kV HBM/1 kV CDM ESD, ±0.37 mV offset, but rated for 36 V max supply (not 32 V) | Preferred for 36 V battery systems (e.g., commercial vehicle 24 V nominal); identical pinout and footprint | Select when higher supply voltage margin is required; no layout change needed. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, 36 V supply, 0.8 µs propagation delay, but 1.1 mA quiescent current and no AEC-Q100 Grade 0/1 temp validation | Suitable for non-safety-critical industrial sensors; lacks automotive qualification documentation | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where rail-to-rail input is mandatory. |
Compared with LM2903BQDRQ1, LM2903AVQDRQ1 trades 4 V supply headroom for tighter V-suffix compliance in 32 V systems, while TLV1702QDRQ1 offers faster response and rail-to-rail input at the expense of higher IQ and no automotive qualification - making LM2903AVQDRQ1 optimal for cost-constrained, safety-aware 12 V/24 V vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903AVQDRQ1?
The LM2903AVQDRQ1 has a maximum supply voltage rating of 32 V, as confirmed by its "V" suffix designation in the LM2903-Q1 family. This distinguishes it from standard LM2903-Q1 (30 V) and LM2903B-Q1 (36 V) variants. Operation beyond 32 V risks permanent damage, and all absolute maximum ratings assume proper PCB layout with adequate decoupling.
Does LM2903AVQDRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903AVQDRQ1 supports dual-supply operation provided the difference between V+ and V− is within 2 V to 32 V and V+ is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. However, automotive implementations typically use single-supply configuration with GND as V−, leveraging its ground-referenced input capability.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LM2903AVQDRQ1?
The input common-mode voltage range of LM2903AVQDRQ1 extends from ground to VCC − 1.5 V for the inverting input, while the non-inverting input can safely exceed VCC. This allows direct sensing of 0 V referenced signals (e.g., battery negative) and high-side voltage monitoring without level shifting - a key enabler for automotive fault detection circuits.
Is LM2903AVQDRQ1 pin-compatible with LM2903QDRQ1?
Yes, LM2903AVQDRQ1 is pin-compatible with LM2903QDRQ1 and all other SOIC-8 variants in the LM2903-Q1 family, including LM2903BQDRQ1 and LM2903E-Q1. The "A" and "V" suffixes denote enhanced offset voltage and 32 V supply rating respectively, but share identical pinout, footprint, and soldering profile per TI's mechanical drawings.
What functional safety documentation is available for LM2903AVQDRQ1?
Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for LM2903AVQDRQ1 including FIT rate data, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage guidance - all accessible via TI's functional safety resource center. This documentation supports ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level certification when used per recommended operating conditions and layout guidelines.
