Product details
Overview
LM2903BHQPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive dual open-drain comparator with ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, 200 µA typical supply current per comparator, and operation across 2 V to 36 V single or dual supplies. It serves as a precision voltage comparison engine in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 datasheet, LM2903BHQPWRQ1 pinout, LM2903BHQPWRQ1 application, or LM2903BHQPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +125°C ambient operating range, 2 kV HBM ESD rating, open-collector output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS, and guaranteed performance over full automotive temperature and supply voltage ranges.
Technical Context
The LM2903BHQPWRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington pair input stage enabling high gain, low input bias current (3.5 nA typ), and common-mode input range extending to ground. Its open-drain NPN output stage supports wired-AND logic and level-shifting across supply domains up to 36 V.
It operates with differential input voltage range of ±38 V, input common-mode range from −0.3 V to (V+) − 2.0 V over temperature, and delivers 1 µs typical propagation delay under 5 mV overdrive at 5 V supply - optimized for fast fault detection in safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V vehicle batteries and wide-input industrial rails without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±4 mV over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable threshold detection in battery voltage monitors and motor overcurrent comparators. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistor dividers, potentiometer feedback). |
| Quiescent Current (per comp) | 200 µA typical - enables always-on diagnostics in body control modules with minimal standby power impact. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs typical at 5 mV overdrive - meets response timing requirements for real-time overvoltage/undervoltage shutdown in DC-DC controllers. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - exceeds AEC-Q100 H1C classification for robustness in manufacturing and field environments. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail (e.g., 3.3 V MCU I/O) and wired-AND configuration for multi-sensor alarm aggregation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm), surface-mount, with exposed thermal pad connected directly to GND for enhanced thermal performance in automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN collector - requires external pull-up; sinks current when IN− > IN+ + VIO. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - accepts signals down to −0.3 V for ground-referenced sensing. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - supports common-mode voltages up to VCC − 2.0 V. |
| GND | Ground reference | Power and signal return; thermal pad must be soldered to GND plane for thermal reliability. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent high-impedance input - enables dual-threshold or window-comparator topologies. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent high-impedance input - supports differential sensing or reference comparison. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain NPN collector - electrically isolated from 1OUT; supports independent load switching. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Accepts 2 V–36 V - powers both comparators and internal bias circuitry; no separate V− required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) - certified for use in powertrain, infotainment, and body control modules. |
| Low input offset voltage | ±0.37 mV typical - reduces false triggering in precision battery cell voltage monitoring and current-sense amplifier thresholds. |
| Wide supply range | 2 V to 36 V single supply - eliminates need for local LDOs in 12 V/24 V systems and simplifies BOM in mixed-rail designs. |
| Open-drain outputs | Independent sinking capability up to 25 mA per output - enables direct interface to 3.3 V/5 V MCUs and fault-line aggregation via wired-AND. |
| Enhanced ESD protection | 2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM - improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in unshielded harness environments. |
Applications
| HEV/EV Battery Management | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual open-drain comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QPWRQ1 | Higher ±15 mV max input offset voltage; 1 kV HBM ESD; same pinout and package. | Less suitable for tight-threshold applications (e.g., <50 mV window detection); adequate for general-purpose voltage monitoring. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements and ESD robustness is secondary. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input; 0.9 V to 36 V supply; 350 µA IQ; 1.2 µs propagation delay; SOIC-8 only. | Supports near-ground sensing without level-shifting; higher supply current limits ultra-low-power use cases. | Choose when input common-mode must extend to V− (e.g., single-supply op-amp replacement) and faster response is not critical. |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1, LM2903BHQPWRQ1 delivers tighter offset and superior ESD for mission-critical detection; versus TLV1702QDRQ1, it trades rail-to-rail input for lower IQ and proven AEC-Q100 Grade 1 stability in harsh automotive transients.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage supported by the LM2903BHQPWRQ1?
The LM2903BHQPWRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V across its VCC-to-GND terminals. This rating is validated per Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official datasheet (Section 2.2), and applies to continuous operation within the recommended ambient temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent device damage.
Does the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 require dual supplies to operate?
No, the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 operates from a single supply ranging from 2 V to 36 V. Dual-supply operation is possible only if 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 - but this configuration is rarely used. The LM2903BHQPWRQ1 is optimized for single-rail automotive systems.
Can the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 inputs safely go below ground?
Yes - the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 inputs tolerate voltages down to −0.3 V relative to GND, as specified in Section 2.2 Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors and switches without clamping diodes. However, sustained operation below −0.3 V may cause latch-up or parametric degradation.
What is the typical propagation delay of the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 under standard conditions?
The LM2903BHQPWRQ1 exhibits a typical propagation delay of 1 µs when driven with a 5 mV input overdrive at 5 V supply, 25°C, and 15 pF load (Section 2.10). At full temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and 36 V supply, delay increases to ≤1.3 µs - confirmed in switching characteristics tables and typical curves (Figures 2-25 to 2-30).
Is the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 pin-compatible with non-automotive LM2903 variants?
Yes - the LM2903BHQPWRQ1 shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical behavior with industry-standard LM2903 variants in TSSOP-8 packaging (e.g., LM2903PWR, LM2903QPWR). Functional equivalence is maintained across supply range, input/output characteristics, and thermal design - enabling drop-in replacement where AEC-Q100 qualification is required.
