Product details
Overview
LM2903BRQDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain voltage 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 1 µs typical propagation delay. It serves in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring, body control module voltage supervision, and infotainment system level-shifting interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903BRQDRQ1 datasheet, LM2903BRQDRQ1 pinout, LM2903BRQDRQ1 application, or LM2903BRQDRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade thermal and ESD performance (2 kV HBM), SOIC-8 package details, and functional safety documentation support - all critical for safety-critical sensor interface and fault-detection circuit design.
Technical Context
The LM2903BRQDRQ1 implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators with rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground and up to VCC − 1.5 V. Its open-drain NPN output stage enables flexible logic-level translation and wired-AND functionality across mixed-voltage domains.
It supports single-supply operation from 2 V to 36 V or dual supplies with up to 36 V differential, while maintaining stable performance over −40°C to +125°C ambient. Input clamp circuitry (Q15) ensures defined low-state output when inputs exceed common-mode limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - enables direct interface with 12 V/24 V automotive batteries and 3.3 V/5 V logic without level shifters. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - improves accuracy in precision threshold detection (e.g., battery undervoltage lockout at ±10 mV tolerance). |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor references (e.g., thermistor dividers or potentiometer-based position sensors). |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 1 µs - supports real-time response in motor phase fault detection and overcurrent trip circuits. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for robustness in automotive assembly and field environments. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows pull-up to any logic rail (e.g., 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V MCU I/O), enabling voltage translation and multi-comparator wired-AND outputs. |
| Ambient Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C - certified for Grade 1 automotive use in engine bay, transmission control, and ADAS subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2903BRQDRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and standard 1.27 mm pitch. The device uses a surface-mount, gull-wing lead configuration compatible with automated reflow assembly.
| 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 | Negative input node of first comparator - accepts voltages from GND to VCC − 1.5 V. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive input node of first comparator - same voltage range as 1IN−; supports ground-referenced sensing. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and input signals; connects thermal pad in WSON variants (not applicable to SOIC). |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply rail (2–36 V); also serves as upper limit for common-mode input range. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-drain output - electrically isolated from 1OUT; enables dual-threshold or redundant monitoring. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Second comparator's negative input - identical electrical behavior to 1IN−. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Second comparator's positive input - fully independent; supports differential or independent signal comparison. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation with HBM 2 kV / CDM 1 kV - ensures reliability in powertrain and chassis ECUs. |
| Dual independent comparators | Enables simultaneous monitoring of two distinct thresholds (e.g., overvoltage and undervoltage on same rail) without cross-talk. |
| Ground-sensing input range | Common-mode voltage includes 0 V - allows direct interface with shunt-based current sense amplifiers and battery ground-referenced sensors. |
| Low quiescent current | 600 µA typical total supply current at 5 V - reduces standby power in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., door module wake-up detection). |
| Functional safety documentation | TI provides FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and safety manual - supports ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. |

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 LM2903B-Q1 silicon, TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm); 182.9°C/W RθJA vs. 154.1°C/W for SOIC. | Better board space efficiency but higher thermal resistance - preferred for compact PCBs with adequate airflow or heatsinking. | Select when footprint reduction outweighs thermal margin; verify junction temperature rise under full-load conditions. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, 36 V supply, but lower 0.35 mV offset and 0.15 µs propagation delay; consumes 120 µA per comparator. | Higher precision and speed at cost of reduced ESD robustness (1.5 kV HBM) and no AEC-Q100 Grade 0 option. | Choose for high-speed diagnostics where sub-microsecond response is mandatory and ESD environment is controlled. |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1, LM2903BRQDRQ1 offers superior thermal dissipation in SOIC packaging for sustained 125°C operation; versus TLV1702QDRQ1, it trades speed and offset for proven automotive ruggedness, wider ESD margin, and broader temperature qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2903BRQDRQ1?
The LM2903BRQDRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, with absolute maximum ratings allowing up to 38 V differential supply (V+ − V−). This enables direct connection to 24 V commercial vehicle systems and compatibility with 12 V automotive batteries including load-dump transients. Operation remains specified from 2 V to 36 V per the recommended conditions table.
Does LM2903BRQDRQ1 support ground-referenced input signals?
Yes, LM2903BRQDRQ1 features a common-mode input voltage range that includes ground (0 V), extending from GND to VCC − 1.5 V. This allows direct interfacing with sensors referenced to chassis ground - such as thermistors, potentiometers, or current-sense shunts - without level-shifting circuitry.
Is LM2903BRQDRQ1 pin-compatible with legacy LM2903-Q1 devices?
Yes, LM2903BRQDRQ1 is a drop-in replacement for LM2903-Q1 in SOIC-8 packaging, sharing identical pinout, footprint, and basic electrical behavior. Key improvements - including ±0.37 mV offset, 3.5 nA input bias, and 2 kV HBM ESD - require no layout changes but enhance system accuracy and robustness.
What is the output configuration of LM2903BRQDRQ1?
LM2903BRQDRQ1 features two independent open-drain NPN outputs (1OUT and 2OUT). Each output sinks current when its respective comparator asserts low; external pull-up resistors define the logic-high voltage level, enabling interoperability with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V MCUs and wired-AND logic functions.
How does LM2903BRQDRQ1 support functional safety compliance?
LM2903BRQDRQ1 is designated "Functional Safety-Capable" by Texas Instruments, with documented FIT rate, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and safety manual available. These resources aid ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development for automotive applications like battery disconnect monitoring and brake-by-wire supervision.
