Product details
Overview
LM2903HYDT from STMicroelectronics is a low-power dual voltage comparator in SO8 package, operating from 2 V to 36 V single supply (or ±1 V to ±18 V dual supply), with 0.4 mA typical supply current, 25 nA input bias current, and input common-mode range extending to ground - enabling direct sensing of ground-referenced signals in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903HYDT datasheet, LM2903HYDT pinout, LM2903HYDT application, or LM2903HYDT equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualified automotive grade, rail-to-rail input capability down to ground, TTL/CMOS-compatible open-collector outputs, and guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +150 °C.
Technical Context
The LM2903HYDT integrates two independent comparators with PNP input stages, delivering stable performance across wide supply ranges without requiring dual-rail support. Its input stage allows common-mode voltages down to −0.3 V relative to VCC−, while differential input voltage tolerance matches full supply rails (±36 V).
Output stage uses open-collector NPN transistors capable of sinking up to 16 mA at 25 °C, with 250 mV typical saturation voltage at 4 mA load. Response time is 500 ns for TTL-level transitions under 5.1 kΩ pull-up load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V single supply; enables direct integration into 12 V/24 V automotive systems without level-shifting |
| Input Bias Current | 25 nA typ.; minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor bridges or reference dividers |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV min / 7 mV typ.; supports accurate threshold detection in precision window comparators |
| Output Sink Current | 6 mA min / 16 mA max; drives standard LED indicators or logic-level inputs directly |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for under-hood automotive use |
| Response Time | 500 ns typ. (TTL transition); suitable for fast edge detection in motor phase monitoring |
Pinout & Package
LM2903HYDT is housed in an automotive-grade SO8 (Small Outline 8-pin) package with gull-wing leads, ECOPACK® compliant, 1.27 mm pitch, and thermal resistance RthJA = 125 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output 1 | Open-collector output; requires external pull-up to define high state and logic family compatibility |
| 2 | Inverting Input 1 | Differential input node for first comparator; accepts signals down to −0.3 V below VCC− |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input 1 | Differential input node for first comparator; common-mode range includes ground |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply or ground reference terminal; supports single-supply operation with grounded VCC− |
| 5 | Non-inverting Input 2 | Differential input node for second comparator; electrically isolated from Input 1 |
| 6 | Inverting Input 2 | Differential input node for second comparator; shares same input stage architecture as Input 1 |
| 7 | Output 2 | Open-collector output; independently configurable with separate pull-up resistor |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply terminal; supports up to 36 V, defining upper rail for both comparators |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-sensing input stage | Input common-mode range includes 0 V even on single supply - eliminates need for negative rail in battery-monitoring circuits |
| Low quiescent current | 0.4 mA typ. at 5 V - reduces standby power in always-on vehicle subsystems like door module wake-up detection |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C) - certified for engine compartment and transmission control applications |
| Robust ESD protection | 800 V HBM - enhances reliability during automated PCB assembly and field service handling |
| Wide differential input range | ±36 V - tolerates transient overvoltage events on sensor lines without latch-up or damage |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Coolant Level Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring door lock actuator feedback voltage against threshold to confirm mechanical engagement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator performs simultaneous high/low threshold validation on analog position signal. Use Value: Enables fail-safe detection using single device - reduces BOM count versus discrete transistor-based solutions. | Use Scenario: Interfacing float switch or capacitive coolant sensor to microcontroller GPIO with hysteresis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator converts analog level into clean digital flag; internal hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. Use Value: Eliminates need for external Schmitt trigger or RC network - saves board space and calibration effort. |
| Transmission Fluid Temperature Monitor | 12 V Battery State-of-Charge Alert |
Use Scenario: Comparing thermistor voltage divider output to fixed reference to trigger overtemperature warning. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First comparator detects upper limit; second provides hysteresis via feedback for stable switching. Use Value: Achieves <10 mV effective hysteresis with no external components - improves thermal response accuracy. | Use Scenario: Detecting battery voltage drop below 11.8 V to initiate low-power mode before cranking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares scaled battery voltage to precision bandgap reference. Use Value: Operates reliably at cold-crank voltages down to 6 V - ensures alert functionality during engine start. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QDR | SO8 package, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C), identical electrical specs | Limited to under-dash applications; not rated for under-hood ambient extremes | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement |
| TLV3702IDR | Rail-to-rail input/output, 1 µA supply current, but max 16 V supply and −40 °C to +125 °C only | Not suitable for 24 V commercial vehicle systems or high-temp transmission control | Prefer for ultra-low-power portable or infotainment subsystems with lower voltage rails |
Compared with LM2903QDR and TLV3702IDR, LM2903HYDT uniquely supports 36 V operation and +150 °C junction temperature - making it the only choice for direct integration into high-voltage, high-ambient automotive powertrain and chassis modules.

FAQ
Can LM2903HYDT operate with VCC− left unconnected in single-supply mode?
Yes - VCC− serves as the ground reference in single-supply configurations and must be connected to system ground. Leaving it floating will cause undefined behavior and potential damage. The device is designed for VCC− = GND, with inputs referenced to that node.
Does LM2903HYDT require external hysteresis for stable switching?
No - hysteresis can be added externally via positive feedback, but the device itself has no built-in hysteresis. Stable switching depends on circuit design; many automotive applications implement 10–50 mV hysteresis using resistor networks between output and non-inverting input.
What is the maximum sink current per output at +150 °C?
At +150 °C, the output sink current drops to 2 mA minimum (per Table 3, "Output sink current, Tmin ≤ Tamb ≤ Tmax"). This derating must be accounted for in high-temperature designs driving LEDs or logic inputs with heavy loads.
Is LM2903HYDT pin-compatible with legacy LM2903 variants?
Yes - LM2903HYDT uses standard SO8 pinout matching LM2903D, LM2903DT, and LM2903PT. However, only HYDT is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified; other variants lack the extended temperature screening and automotive-specific reliability testing.
