Product details
Overview
LM2903EPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 automotive dual open-drain comparator operating from 2 V to 30 V supply, featuring ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and –40°C to +150°C ambient temperature range - deployed in HEV/EV powertrain voltage monitoring and body control module overvoltage detection.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903EPWRQ1 datasheet, LM2903EPWRQ1 pinout, LM2903EPWRQ1 application, or LM2903EPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Grade 0 extended-temperature qualification, open-collector output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS logic families, differential input voltage tolerance up to ±36 V, and verified functional safety documentation support.
Technical Context
The LM2903EPWRQ1 implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators enabling high-gain, low-input-bias operation with common-mode input range extending to ground and up to VCC − 2 V over temperature. Its open-drain NPN output stage supports wired-AND logic and flexible level-shifting across supply domains.
It operates on single or split supplies (V+ − V− = 2 V to 36 V), requires no external pull-up for basic functionality, and maintains stable propagation delay (1.3 µs typical) and output sink capability (6 mA minimum) across its full Grade 0 temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 30 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive batteries and 3.3 V/5 V logic rails without regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±15 mV over –40°C to +150°C - ensures reliable threshold detection in high-temperature engine bay environments |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 25 nA at 25°C - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sensor reference networks |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC − 2 V - enables ground-referenced sensing and rail-to-rail input compatibility |
| Differential Input Voltage | ±36 V - withstands load-dump transients and battery reverse-connection events without damage |
| Output Sink Current | 6 mA minimum at VOL = 1.5 V - drives standard 5 kΩ pull-up resistors to TTL-compatible logic low |
| Propagation Delay | 1.3 µs typical (100 mV overdrive) - meets real-time response requirements for overvoltage lockout circuits |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad connected directly to GND for enhanced thermal performance in automotive under-hood applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN collector - requires external pull-up; sinks current when IN+ < IN− + VOS |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - accepts signals down to ground with minimal bias current |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - supports reference voltage comparison with <25 nA loading |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply, inputs, and thermal pad - must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent high-Z input - enables dual-threshold detection (e.g., undervoltage + overvoltage) |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent high-Z input - allows differential sensing or independent signal monitoring |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain NPN collector - electrically isolated from 1OUT; supports separate logic domains |
| VCC | Positive supply | Accepts 2 V–30 V - powers both comparators and internal bias circuitry; tolerant of automotive transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +150°C ambient operation - suitable for engine control units and transmission modules |
| Open-drain outputs | Enable wired-AND logic and level translation between 3.3 V MCU I/O and 12 V system rails |
| ESD protection | HBM 1 kV / CDM 750 V - meets baseline automotive ESD robustness per AEC-Q100-002/-011 |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2 V - supports start-stop battery voltage sag without reset or malfunction |
| Input common-mode to ground | Allows direct sensing of 0 V referenced signals (e.g., battery negative terminal monitoring) |
Applications
| Engine Coolant Overtemperature Detection | 12 V Battery Undervoltage Lockout |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors thermistor voltage divider output against fixed reference to trigger fan activation or dashboard warning when coolant exceeds 120°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator performs windowed threshold detection - one channel for upper limit, second for hysteresis or fault confirmation. Use Value: Grade 0 temperature rating ensures reliable operation at under-hood temperatures exceeding 135°C; ±36 V differential input withstands sensor cable ESD events. | Use Scenario: Compares battery voltage against 11.5 V reference to disable non-critical loads during cranking or deep discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator acts as precision voltage monitor with fast 1.3 µs response to prevent brown-out resets in infotainment systems. Use Value: 2 V minimum supply allows continued operation during cold-cranking dips to 6 V; open-drain output interfaces directly to 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO. |
| HEV Inverter DC-Link Overvoltage Protection | Body Control Module Door Ajar Sensing |
Use Scenario: Detects DC-link voltage exceeding 450 V in hybrid power inverters to initiate immediate shutdown and gate driver disable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side comparator monitors scaled-down DC-link via resistor divider; output drives safety relay driver. Use Value: ±36 V differential input rating accommodates 1000:1 scaling ratio with margin; Grade 0 qualification ensures reliability near high-power IGBT modules. | Use Scenario: Reads magnetic reed switch closure in door latch assemblies to report open/closed status to BCM microcontroller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator converts mechanical switch state into clean digital logic signal with noise immunity. Use Value: Input bias current <25 nA prevents false triggering from leakage across long harness runs; open-drain output simplifies interface to 5 V or 3.3 V MCU inputs. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903BQPWRQ1 | Lower offset (±4 mV max), 2 kV HBM ESD, Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) | Better precision and ESD robustness; insufficient for >125°C under-hood locations | Select when higher accuracy and ESD immunity are prioritized over extended temperature range |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, 36 V supply, 0.9 µs propagation, but only Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) | Superior speed and input range; lacks Grade 0 qualification for extreme-temperature zones | Choose for faster response in cabin or chassis modules where ambient stays below 125°C |
Compared with LM2903BQPWRQ1 and TLV1702QDRQ1, the LM2903EPWRQ1 uniquely satisfies Grade 0 extended-temperature operation while retaining proven automotive reliability, making it the sole option for engine bay and transmission control applications requiring continuous function above 125°C ambient.
