Product details
Overview
LM2903ITLX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual low-power, low-offset voltage comparator IC designed for single- or dual-supply operation in precision threshold detection and analog-to-digital interface circuits. It delivers ±3 mV max input offset voltage, 0.4 mA supply current at 5 V, 25 nA input bias current, and rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground - enabling accurate sensing near 0 V in battery-powered and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903ITLX/NOPB datasheet, LM2903ITLX/NOPB pinout, LM2903ITLX/NOPB application, or LM2903ITLX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-collector outputs compatible with TTL/CMOS/MOS logic, wide 2.0–36 V supply range, −40°C to +85°C operating temperature, and SOIC-8 packaging suitable for space-constrained industrial and automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM2903ITLX/NOPB integrates two independent PNP-input comparators with open-collector NPN output stages, supporting both single-supply (2.0–36 V) and dual-supply (±1.0–±18 V) configurations. Its input stage allows common-mode voltage down to ground and differential input voltage up to the full supply rail - critical for zero-crossing detection and high-side sensing.
Each comparator features 25 nA typical input bias current, 5 nA max input offset current, and 250 mV max saturation voltage at 4 mA sink load. The device draws only 0.4 mA total supply current at 5 V - stable across voltage and temperature - making it suitable for always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 36 V single supply; ±1.0 V to ±18 V dual supply - supports direct integration into 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±3 mV max at 25°C - enables accurate threshold detection within ±0.1% of reference voltage at 3 V supply. |
| Supply Current | 0.4 mA typical at 5 V - ensures <1 mW power dissipation, ideal for battery-backed sensors and portable instrumentation. |
| Input Bias Current | 25 nA typical - permits use with high-impedance sources (e.g., thermistors, photodiodes) without significant signal loading. |
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - allows wired-OR logic, flexible pull-up to any compatible rail (including higher than V+), and direct TTL/CMOS interfacing. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Includes ground (0 V) up to V+−1.5 V - supports ground-referenced inputs in single-supply designs without external biasing. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation, automotive body electronics, and outdoor equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM2903ITLX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUTA (Pin 1) | Channel A output | Open-collector NPN drain - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 16 mA; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V/12 V logic families. |
| −INA (Pin 2) | Channel A inverting input | High-impedance PNP base - accepts signals from 0 V to V+−1.5 V; supports reference or feedback connections. |
| +INA (Pin 3) | Channel A non-inverting input | High-impedance PNP base - used for signal input in standard comparator configuration; enables zero-crossing detection. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Common return for both comparators and internal bias network - must be low-impedance for stable offset and noise immunity. |
| +INB (Pin 5) | Channel B non-inverting input | Independent high-impedance input - allows dual-threshold or window comparator implementation with shared GND/V+. |
| −INB (Pin 6) | Channel B inverting input | Independent high-impedance input - configurable as second reference or inverted signal path in differential sensing. |
| OUTB (Pin 7) | Channel B output | Open-collector NPN drain - electrically isolated from OUTA; supports independent logic loads or wired-OR with OUTA. |
| V+ (Pin 8) | Positive supply | Power rail for both comparators - supplies internal bias and output stage; tolerant of 36 V transient per absolute max rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation with ground-sensing input | Enables direct interface to 0 V-referenced sensors (e.g., current shunts, thermocouples) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low 0.4 mA supply current | Reduces system standby power by >90% vs. legacy comparators - extends battery life in IoT nodes and remote monitors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual open-collector comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Same core architecture and pinout; wider temp range (0°C to +70°C vs. −40°C to +85°C); 7 mV max offset voltage. | Not qualified for extended industrial or automotive ambient temperatures; less precise thresholding. | Select LM393DR only for cost-sensitive commercial-grade applications where temperature stability and offset accuracy are secondary. |
| TLV3702IDR | Rail-to-rail input/output; 1.8 V min supply; 1.5 mV max offset; 85 μA supply current; push-pull output (not open-collector). | Requires redesign of pull-up networks and logic interfacing; unsuitable for wired-OR or mixed-voltage bus applications. | Choose TLV3702IDR when ultra-low power (<100 μA) and rail-to-rail precision are required, and open-collector functionality is not needed. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, LM2903ITLX/NOPB uniquely balances industrial temperature qualification, open-collector flexibility, and sub-3 mV offset - making it the preferred choice for robust, maintainable designs in harsh environments where interoperability with legacy logic families is essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2903ITLX/NOPB?
The LM2903ITLX/NOPB supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V for single-supply operation and ±18 V for dual-supply operation, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding 36 V may cause permanent damage. The device operates reliably across the full recommended range of 2.0 V to 36 V, maintaining 0.4 mA supply current and stable offset performance.
Does LM2903ITLX/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input?
No, LM2903ITLX/NOPB does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from ground (0 V) to V+−1.5 V at 25°C - meaning the upper limit is 1.5 V below the positive supply rail. This is sufficient for ground-referenced sensing but excludes direct V+ tracking. For true rail-to-rail input, consider alternatives like TLV3702IDR.
Can LM2903ITLX/NOPB outputs be wired together?
Yes, the open-collector outputs of LM2903ITLX/NOPB can be safely wired together (wired-OR configuration) because each output is an uncommitted NPN collector. This enables logical OR functions, shared pull-up networks, or fault-bus signaling without risk of contention or latch-up - a key advantage over push-pull output comparators.
What is the typical input bias current of LM2903ITLX/NOPB?
The LM2903ITLX/NOPB has a typical input bias current of 25 nA at 25°C, with a maximum of 250 nA over temperature. This low value minimizes loading on high-impedance sources such as thermistors, photodiodes, or RC timing networks - preserving signal integrity and reducing measurement error in precision analog front-ends.
Is LM2903ITLX/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2903ITLX/NOPB is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "/NOPB" suffix in the part number (NOPB = No Lead, Pb-Free). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern lead-free manufacturing processes.
