Product details
Overview
LM2903BQDRQ1 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, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, 200 µA typical supply current per comparator, and operation from 2 V to 36 V single or dual supplies. It serves in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring and body control modules where precision, low power, and high-voltage robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903BQDRQ1 datasheet, LM2903BQDRQ1 pinout, LM2903BQDRQ1 application, or LM2903BQDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), improved 2 kV HBM ESD rating, open-collector output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS, and validated performance across wide supply and common-mode voltage ranges.
Technical Context
The LM2903BQDRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington-pair input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current and high DC gain, while supporting common-mode input voltages down to ground and up to VCC – 2 V over temperature. Its open-drain NPN output stage allows flexible logic-level translation via external pull-up resistors.
It operates with differential input voltage tolerance of ±38 V and supports rail-to-rail input operation within specified common-mode limits. The device is functionally safe-capable, with documentation available to support ISO 26262-compliant system design in ASIL-B/C applications.

Pinout & Package
LM2903BQDRQ1 is packaged in an SOIC-8 (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm with standard lead pitch. Pin functions are electrically identical across all LM2903B-Q1 variants regardless of package type.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN collector - requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and sink current when active |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - accepts signals down to GND and up to VCC − 2 V |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - supports same voltage range as 1IN−; used for reference or signal input |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply, inputs, and output pull-up - must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply rail (2–36 V) or positive rail in dual-supply configuration - powers internal bias and output stage |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-drain NPN collector - enables dual-threshold detection or OR/AND wired logic |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Electrically isolated from Comparator 1 - allows independent signal comparison without crosstalk |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Matches 1IN+ functionality - supports differential sensing or redundant monitoring configurations |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QDRQ1 | Higher input offset voltage (±15 mV max), higher supply current (1 mA typ), lower ESD rating (1 kV HBM) | Suitable for cost-sensitive non-critical functions where tighter offset and lower power are not required | Select LM2903QDRQ1 only if legacy design reuse or BOM simplification outweighs performance trade-offs |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, 36 V supply, but CMOS output (push-pull), 1.2 µs propagation delay, higher quiescent current (120 µA per comp) | Better for low-voltage sensor interfaces (< 2 V) and applications requiring active-high outputs without pull-ups | Choose TLV1702QDRQ1 when rail-to-rail input common-mode or push-pull drive is mandatory |
Compared with LM2903QDRQ1, LM2903BQDRQ1 delivers 4× lower offset and 5× better ESD robustness at identical footprint; versus TLV1702QDRQ1, it offers faster response and lower power but requires external pull-ups and lacks rail-to-rail input capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903BQDRQ1?
The LM2903BQDRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying ±38 V differential input voltage and input pins rated from –0.3 V to 38 V. This allows direct connection to 24 V truck systems and 48 V mild-hybrid architectures without external attenuation. The LM2903BQDRQ1 maintains full functionality across its entire 2 V to 36 V operating range.
Does LM2903BQDRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903BQDRQ1 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. This configuration enables true bipolar input sensing in automotive sensor signal conditioning, such as crankshaft position decoding with AC-coupled magneto-resistive sensors. The LM2903BQDRQ1's input stage remains functional even when inputs exceed V+.
How does the open-drain output of LM2903BQDRQ1 interface with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
The LM2903BQDRQ1 open-drain output interfaces with a 3.3 V microcontroller by connecting an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) from the output pin to the 3.3 V supply. When the comparator asserts, the NPN sinks current and pulls the node to < 400 mV (at 4 mA), registering as logic low; when inactive, the pull-up defines a clean 3.3 V logic high. This eliminates level-shifter ICs and ensures noise-immune signaling in LM2903BQDRQ1-based designs.
Is LM2903BQDRQ1 pin-compatible with legacy LM2903-Q1 devices?
Yes, LM2903BQDRQ1 is pin-compatible with LM2903QDRQ1 and other LM2903-Q1 family members in the same SOIC-8 (D) package. All electrical pin functions - including 1OUT, 1IN−, 1IN+, GND, VCC, 2OUT, 2IN−, and 2IN+ - match identically. No PCB layout changes are required when upgrading from LM2903QDRQ1 to LM2903BQDRQ1, enabling drop-in performance enhancement in existing automotive designs.
What automotive temperature grade does LM2903BQDRQ1 meet?
LM2903BQDRQ1 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1, supporting continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This certification covers under-hood applications such as engine control units and transmission control modules. The LM2903BQDRQ1's electrical parameters - including input offset, propagation delay, and supply current - are guaranteed across this full range per TI's characterization data.
