Product details
Overview
LM2903BIDSGR from Texas Instruments is a dual precision comparator in an 8-pin WSON package with exposed thermal pad, designed for single-supply operation up to 36 V. It delivers ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 200 µA per comparator quiescent current, 1 µs propagation delay, and operates across –40°C to +125°C - enabling robust voltage monitoring in industrial motor drives and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903BIDSGR datasheet, LM2903BIDSGR pinout, LM2903BIDSGR application, or LM2903BIDSGR equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail input capability (down to GND), open-collector outputs compatible with TTL/MOS/CMOS, 2 kV HBM ESD rating, and drop-in replacement support for legacy LM2903 variants without layout changes.
Technical Context
The LM2903BIDSGR implements two independent high-gain comparators with internal ESD clamps that enable ±38 V differential input voltage tolerance and common-mode input range extending to ground. Its architecture supports single-supply operation from 2 V to 36 V while maintaining stable quiescent current independent of supply voltage.
Each comparator features low input bias current (3.5 nA typ), low output saturation voltage (110 mV at 4 mA sink), and fast response time (1 µs typ) optimized for real-time threshold detection in overvoltage protection, battery management, and PWM feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - enables direct integration into 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.37 mV (typ) - ensures accurate threshold detection with minimal error in precision sensing applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 400–600 µA (total, 200 µA per comparator) - supports low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs (typ, 5 mV overdrive) - provides timely response for fast fault detection in motor control and UPS circuits. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - enhances reliability during board handling and in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, factory automation, and telecom infrastructure use. |
| Output Type | Open-collector - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail (3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V) and wired-OR configuration. |
Pinout & Package
LM2903BIDSGR uses an 8-pin WSON package (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm) with an exposed thermal pad on the underside, requiring direct connection to GND for optimal thermal performance and ESD robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector output; must be pulled up externally to define logic-high level. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Differential input node; accepts signals down to GND and up to VCC. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Differential input node; supports rail-to-rail common-mode range including ground. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal; connects to exposed thermal pad. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent input channel; identical electrical characteristics to 1IN+. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent input channel; supports same voltage range and ESD ruggedness as 1IN−. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-collector output; electrically isolated from 1OUT for dual-threshold designs. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single supply input (2–36 V); powers both comparators and internal ESD clamps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Includes ground and extends to VCC − 2 V - eliminates need for input biasing in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| Differential input voltage tolerance | ±38 V - protects against transient overvoltage events in motor drive feedback and industrial I/O. |
| Low input bias current | 3.5 nA (typ) - minimizes loading error when used with high-impedance sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Drop-in replacement capability | Pin- and function-compatible with LM2903, LM2903V, and LM2903AV - enables BOM upgrades without redesign. |
| Exposed thermal pad | Direct GND connection reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 63.1°C/W - improves long-term reliability at high ambient temperatures. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Protection | Server PSU Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time overcurrent and overtemperature detection in BLDC motor gate driver circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator monitors shunt voltage and NTC thermistor output against fixed thresholds to trigger shutdown within 1 µs.

Use Value: ±0.37 mV offset ensures <0.1% full-scale error at 10 V span, critical for sub-millibar vacuum accuracy. | Use Scenario: Analog signal conditioning for 4–20 mA loop-powered sensors in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator detects loop break (0 mA) and overrange (25 mA) conditions using precision resistive dividers. Use Value: 2 kV HBM ESD rating prevents field failures in unshielded factory floor wiring environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903DR | SOIC-8 package; higher 1.3 µs propagation delay; ±15 mV max offset; rated –40°C to +125°C | Requires PCB footprint change; suitable for cost-sensitive, space-tolerant designs with relaxed speed/accuracy needs | Select when board area and thermal performance are less critical than procurement simplicity. |
| TLV1702IDGKR | RRIO input; 36 V supply; 1.2 µs propagation delay; 0.8 mV max offset; 50 µA per comparator | Higher precision and lower power but lacks B-version ESD ruggedness (1.5 kV HBM) and drop-in compatibility | Choose for ultra-low-power battery systems where rail-to-rail input and microamp quiescent current outweigh ESD margin needs. |
Compared with LM2903DR and TLV1702IDGKR, LM2903BIDSGR uniquely combines WSON miniaturization, 1 µs speed, ±0.37 mV offset, and 2 kV HBM in a drop-in upgrade path - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial control nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903BIDSGR?
The LM2903BIDSGR supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, with absolute maximum ratings extending to 38 V for short-duration transients. This exceeds legacy LM2903 (32 V) and enables direct use in 24 V industrial buses and 48 V intermediate distribution networks without external regulation.
Does LM2903BIDSGR require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, LM2903BIDSGR features open-collector outputs and requires external pull-up resistors to define the logic-high voltage level. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on rise time and load capacitance requirements; pull-up to 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V rails is supported.
Can LM2903BIDSGR replace LM2903 in existing designs without PCB changes?
Yes, LM2903BIDSGR is explicitly documented as a drop-in replacement for LM2903, LM2903V, and LM2903AV in the same DSG (WSON-8) package. Pinout, electrical behavior, and thermal pad connection requirements are identical - no PCB modifications are needed for migration.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LM2903BIDSGR?
The input common-mode voltage range of LM2903BIDSGR extends from ground (0 V) to VCC − 2 V, supporting true rail-to-rail input operation down to GND. This eliminates input biasing networks required by older comparators and simplifies interface with sensors referenced to system ground.
How does the exposed thermal pad on LM2903BIDSGR improve thermal performance?
The exposed thermal pad on LM2903BIDSGR, when soldered directly to a GND plane, reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 63.1°C/W - a 45% improvement over SOIC-8 packages. This lowers die temperature under continuous 36 V operation, extending lifetime in high-ambient industrial environments.
