Product details
Overview
LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain comparator for automotive systems, operating from 2 V to 36 V supply, with ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and 200 µA typical quiescent current per comparator. It serves in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring, body control modules, and infotainment voltage supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 datasheet, LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 pinout, LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 application, or LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended ESD robustness (2 kV HBM), wide common-mode input range including ground, TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible output, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington-pair input stage enabling low input bias current and high gain while supporting rail-to-rail common-mode input down to ground. Its open-drain NPN output stage allows flexible logic-level translation via external pull-up and supports wired-AND configurations.
It features dedicated ESD protection on all pins (2 kV HBM, 1 kV CDM), improved negative input voltage handling versus legacy LM2903-Q1, and tri-temp test options (–40°C/25°C/125°C) for production validation. The device meets functional safety requirements with documentation support for ISO 26262 system design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive batteries and wide-input industrial rails without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - enables precise threshold detection in battery voltage monitoring and motor overcurrent sensing. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces like thermistor or potentiometer-based feedback. |
| Quiescent Current (per comp) | 200 µA - ensures low-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems such as door module wake-up circuits. |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 300 ns (TTL input) - provides fast response for real-time fault detection in powertrain control loops. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - exceeds standard AEC-Q100 H1C requirement, improving robustness against assembly and field electrostatic events. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - certified for Grade 1 automotive use in engine bay and under-hood ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, exposed thermal pad connected directly to GND for enhanced thermal performance in compact automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN sink - requires external pull-up; enables level shifting and wired-AND logic with other comparators. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Differential input node - accepts signals up to 36 V; common-mode range includes ground for single-supply sensing. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Differential input node - supports input voltages exceeding VCC for high-side sensing applications. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signals; thermal pad must be soldered to GND plane for thermal reliability. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent input channel - allows dual-threshold detection (e.g., overvoltage + undervoltage) in one package. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent input channel - supports differential or single-ended configurations with separate references. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain NPN sink - electrically isolated from 1OUT; enables independent logic outputs or shared pull-up. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single supply input - powers both comparators; no dual-supply configuration required for most automotive use cases. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QPWRQ1 | TSSOP-8 package; higher 1 kV HBM ESD rating; ±4 mV max offset voltage over temp vs. ±5 mV for LM2903BHQDGKRQ1. | Same Grade 1 temperature range but lower precision and ESD margin; suitable for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical functions. | Select when board space permits larger TSSOP footprint and offset drift < ±4 mV is acceptable. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input; 36 V supply capable; 0.9 µs typical response time; 50 µA quiescent current; no open-drain output (push-pull). | Higher speed and lower power, but incompatible output architecture prevents direct replacement in wired-AND or level-shifted designs. | Choose only if redesigning output interface and requiring sub-1 µs response with rail-to-rail sensing. |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1, LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 delivers tighter offset and superior ESD robustness in a smaller VSSOP package; versus TLV1702QDRQ1, it retains open-drain flexibility essential for automotive fault-bus architectures despite slower response.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903BHQDGKRQ1?
The LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This rating applies across the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and enables direct connection to 24 V commercial vehicle systems and 12 V automotive batteries during load dump conditions. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent damage to the internal ESD structures and input transistors.
Does LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 supports dual-supply operation as long as 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. However, most automotive applications use single-supply configuration with GND as the reference. The device's common-mode input range includes ground, making single-supply use practical for sensor interfaces and rail monitoring.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the DGK package of LM2903BHQDGKRQ1?
The exposed thermal pad on the LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 VSSOP-8 (DGK) package must be soldered directly to the GND plane to provide a low-thermal-resistance path from the die to the PCB. This improves power dissipation during sustained output sinking and maintains junction temperature within the 150°C limit. TI specifies RθJB = 112.4°C/W for this package - omitting pad connection degrades thermal performance by >40% and risks thermal shutdown in high-current applications.
Can LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 inputs safely exceed the VCC supply voltage?
Yes, the non-inverting input (IN+) of LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 can safely exceed VCC - the differential input voltage range is rated at ±36 V, and the absolute maximum input voltage is –0.3 V to 38 V. This allows high-side sensing applications, such as monitoring battery voltage relative to chassis ground while powered from a lower auxiliary rail. However, the inverting input (IN–) must remain within VCC – 1.5 V for accurate operation per recommended conditions.
How does the LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 differ from the standard LM2903-Q1 in terms of ESD performance?
The LM2903BHQDGKRQ1 features improved 2 kV HBM and 1 kV CDM ESD ratings versus 1 kV HBM and 750 V CDM for the standard LM2903-Q1. This enhancement results from dedicated on-die ESD protection structures on all pins, validated per AEC-Q100-002 and -011. The "B" suffix denotes this upgraded robustness, which is critical for automotive manufacturing environments and field reliability in high-vibration, high-static-charge scenarios.
