Product details
Overview
LM2903AVQPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain comparator designed for automotive voltage monitoring and level-shifting applications. It operates from 2 V to 32 V supply, delivers ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and 1 µs typical propagation delay - enabling precise threshold detection in HEV/EV powertrain and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903AVQPWRQ1 datasheet, LM2903AVQPWRQ1 pinout, LM2903AVQPWRQ1 application, or LM2903AVQPWRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (TSSOP-8), confirmed automotive-grade electrical specs, functional safety documentation support, and validated drop-in alternatives for cost-optimized design continuity.
Technical Context
The LM2903AVQPWRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode operation down to ground and up to VCC − 1.5 V, with differential input range extended to ±36 V. Its open-drain NPN output supports wired-AND logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection across mixed-voltage domains.
It features dedicated ESD protection on all pins (2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM), operates over −40°C to +125°C ambient, and maintains stable quiescent current (600 µA typical at 5 V) independent of supply voltage - critical for always-on automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 32 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive batteries and 3.3 V/5 V logic rails without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - enables accurate window-comparison of low-amplitude sensor signals (e.g., coolant temp, battery cell voltage). |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading error on high-impedance reference dividers and thermistor networks. |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 1 µs - sufficient for fast fault detection in motor phase monitoring and overvoltage lockout circuits. |
| Quiescent Current (typ) | 600 µA - ensures low standby power in always-on modules like door controllers and lighting ECUs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - exceeds AEC-Q100 Class H1C requirement for robustness in assembly and field environments. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive applications per Grade 1 specification. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm), surface-mount, exposed pad connected to GND for thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN sink - requires external pull-up to define logic-high level; enables level shifting and wired-AND bus operation. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Negative input node of first comparator; accepts voltages from GND to VCC − 1.5 V. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive input node of first comparator; supports same common-mode range as 1IN−. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal; thermal pad must be soldered directly to PCB GND plane. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Positive input node of second comparator; electrically isolated but shares same supply and GND. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Negative input node of second comparator; identical electrical characteristics to 1IN−. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-drain output - allows dual-threshold detection (e.g., over/under-voltage) with shared pull-up. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply input (2–32 V); no negative rail required; supports dual-supply operation if V− is ≥ −0.3 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent comparators | Enables simultaneous monitoring of two distinct thresholds (e.g., battery undervoltage and overvoltage) in one footprint. |
| Open-drain outputs | Permits flexible logic-level translation and wired-AND configuration for fault-bus signaling across voltage domains. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation with full traceability - eliminates requalification effort for automotive Tier 1 designs. |
| Low input bias current (3.5 nA typ) | Preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensing circuits (e.g., resistive divider-based voltage monitors) without added buffering. |
| Wide supply range (2–32 V) | Eliminates need for pre-regulation in 12 V/24 V systems - simplifies BOM and improves system efficiency. |
Applications
| Overvoltage Protection | Battery State Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting when 12 V vehicle battery exceeds 14.5 V during alternator regulation failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares battery voltage against precision reference; one channel triggers shutdown, the other enables warning LED. Use Value: ±0.37 mV offset ensures trip point accuracy within ±10 mV, preventing false trips during load dump transients. | Use Scenario: Monitoring individual Li-ion cell voltage in 12S battery management for EV traction packs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares cell voltage against upper/lower thresholds using resistor-divider inputs; open-drain outputs feed microcontroller GPIOs. Use Value: 3.5 nA input bias current avoids measurement error in high-R dividers (e.g., 1 MΩ/1 MΩ), preserving SOC estimation fidelity. |
| Motor Phase Fault Detection | Infotainment Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Identifying short-to-battery or open-circuit conditions in BLDC motor phase drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares phase voltage against mid-rail reference during PWM off-time; fast 1 µs response captures transient faults. Use Value: 1 µs propagation delay enables detection of <10 µs fault windows - critical for IGBT/driver protection before thermal runaway. | Use Scenario: Enabling display backlight only after main SoC power rail stabilizes in digital cluster. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator monitors 5 V rail against 2.5 V reference; output drives enable pin of LED driver IC via pull-up to 3.3 V. Use Value: 2–32 V supply range allows direct monitoring of unregulated 5 V rail without LDO - reduces component count and board space. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903BQPWRQ1 | Same TSSOP-8 package; improved 2 kV HBM ESD rating; lower 0.37 mV offset; 3.5 nA bias current. | Identical automotive qualification (Grade 1); supports same temperature and supply ranges. | Select when enhanced ESD robustness or tighter offset tolerance is required; pin-compatible drop-in replacement. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input; 0.85 mV max offset; 150 µA supply current; 1.8–36 V supply; SOIC-8 only. | Higher precision but higher quiescent current; not qualified for Grade 1 extended temperature range. | Choose for ultra-low-power always-on monitoring where 125°C operation is not required; requires layout change due to SOIC-8 footprint. |
Compared with LM2903AVQPWRQ1, LM2903BQPWRQ1 offers identical form-factor and superior electrical specs without layout changes, while TLV1702QDRQ1 trades automotive temperature compliance for rail-to-rail input flexibility and lower IQ - making it suitable only for cabin-located, non-under-hood applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2903AVQPWRQ1?
The LM2903AVQPWRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 32 V, as specified for "V" suffix devices in the LM2903-Q1 family. This enables direct interface with 24 V automotive systems and accommodates load-dump transients without external clamping. Operation beyond 32 V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings.
Does LM2903AVQPWRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903AVQPWRQ1 supports dual-supply operation provided the difference between V+ and V− is within 2 V to 36 V, and V+ is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. The device does not require a negative rail but can accept V− as low as −0.3 V, enabling flexible biasing in mixed-signal systems.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LM2903AVQPWRQ1?
The input common-mode voltage range of LM2903AVQPWRQ1 extends from ground to VCC − 1.5 V at 25°C, and to VCC − 2.0 V over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range. Inputs may exceed VCC without damage, but proper comparator function is guaranteed only within the specified common-mode window.
Is LM2903AVQPWRQ1 pin-compatible with standard LM2903-Q1 variants?
Yes, LM2903AVQPWRQ1 uses the industry-standard TSSOP-8 footprint and identical pinout as other LM2903-Q1 family members in the same package - including LM2903QPWRQ1 and LM2903BQPWRQ1. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading to the "AV" variant for improved offset or ESD performance.
How does the open-drain output of LM2903AVQPWRQ1 function in system design?
The open-drain output of LM2903AVQPWRQ1 requires an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level. This enables level translation (e.g., 12 V sense → 3.3 V MCU input), wired-AND fault-bus architectures, and compatibility with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic families - all without additional level-shifter ICs.
