Product details
Overview
LM2903BQDDFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain voltage comparator for automotive systems, featuring ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 200 µA typical supply current per comparator, and operation across 2 V to 36 V single or dual supplies. It enables precise threshold detection in battery monitoring and motor control circuits within HEV/EV powertrain modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903BQDDFRQ1 datasheet, LM2903BQDDFRQ1 pinout, LM2903BQDDFRQ1 application, or LM2903BQDDFRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade thermal and ESD performance (2 kV HBM), package-specific pin functions, and real-world use cases in infotainment, body control, and functional safety–capable designs.
Technical Context
The LM2903BQDDFRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington-pair input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current (3.5 nA typ) and wide common-mode range (to ground and up to VCC − 2 V). Its open-drain NPN output supports wired-AND logic and level-shifting across disparate supply domains.
Designed for automotive reliability, it integrates enhanced ESD protection (2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM), operates over −40°C to +125°C ambient, and features propagation delay as low as 300 ns (high-to-low, TTL input) with 1 µs typical response under small-signal overdrive.
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 DC-DC rails without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - enables accurate voltage window detection at sub-millivolt thresholds, critical for battery cell balancing and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Supply Current (per comparator) | 200 µA typical at 5 V - reduces system-level quiescent power, essential for always-on vehicle modules meeting ISO 16750-2 sleep current requirements. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources such as thermistor networks or capacitive sensors. |
| Propagation Delay (TTL input) | 300 ns high-to-low - ensures timely fault response in motor phase monitoring and overvoltage shutdown circuits. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - exceeds AEC-Q100 H1C classification, improving robustness against assembly and field handling discharge events. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground to (VCC − 2 V) - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to chassis ground in 12 V systems without level shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LM2903BQDDFRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (DDF) with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Thermal pad is not present; no GND tie required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN collector - requires external pull-up to define logic-high level; enables wired-AND and multi-source interrupt sharing. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Negative input node of first comparator - accepts signals down to −0.3 V, supporting rail-to-rail input below ground during transients. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive input node of first comparator - can exceed VCC by up to 36 V without damage, enabling high-side sensing. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and inputs - connects to chassis or system ground; common reference for both comparators. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Positive input node of second comparator - electrically isolated from 1IN+; supports independent dual-threshold detection. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Negative input node of second comparator - shares same ESD and input voltage specs as 1IN−. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-drain output - may be pulled to different voltage domains than 1OUT for mixed-voltage interface applications. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Main power pin - supplies both comparators; supports operation with VCC − VGND = 2 V to 36 V, including reverse-battery tolerant configurations when used with external protection. |
Key Features

| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation with full characterization - eliminates need for derating in engine bay and powertrain ECUs. |
| Low input offset voltage (±0.37 mV typ) | Reduces false triggering in precision voltage monitoring, e.g., detecting <10 mV battery cell imbalance in BMS front-end stages. |
| 2 kV HBM ESD rating | Enables direct integration into unshielded harness interfaces and PCB edge connectors without additional TVS protection in most automotive sub-systems. |
| Open-drain outputs with 25 mA sink capability | Supports direct drive of LEDs, optocouplers, or MCU GPIOs across 1.8 V to 24 V logic domains using appropriate pull-up resistors. |
| Differential input voltage range ±38 V | Allows safe comparison of signals with large common-mode offsets - ideal for detecting overvoltage on 48 V mild-hybrid bus lines relative to 12 V reference. |

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 | Same AEC-Q100 Grade 1 spec, but "A"-grade offset (±4 mV max) and higher 1 mA typical supply current. | Lacks Tri-Temp testing and improved ESD; suitable for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical modules like interior lighting. | Select when lower offset and ESD margin are not required, and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over long-term parametric stability. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, 36 V supply, but CMOS output (push-pull), 1.2 µs propagation delay, and 125 µA supply current. | Not open-drain - cannot perform wired-AND; better for driving high-impedance ADC references than interrupt lines. | Choose when push-pull output simplifies layout and faster settling (not raw speed) matters more than multi-source interrupt arbitration. |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1 and TLV1702QDRQ1, the LM2903BQDDFRQ1 uniquely balances automotive-grade robustness, ultra-low offset, open-drain flexibility, and proven field reliability - making it optimal for ASIL-B–aligned voltage monitoring where deterministic fault response is mandatory.
