Product details
Overview
LM2903PS-MAND from Texas Instruments is a dual differential comparator IC designed for single- or dual-supply operation across 2 V to 36 V. It delivers 7 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, 0.4 mA typical supply current per comparator, and rail-to-rail common-mode input range including ground - enabling robust level detection in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903PS-MAND datasheet, LM2903PS-MAND pinout, LM2903PS-MAND application, or LM2903PS-MAND equivalent, this device supports open-collector wired-AND outputs compatible with TTL/MOS/CMOS, operates from –40°C to 125°C, and features ±36 V differential input voltage tolerance - critical for industrial sensor interface and battery monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The LM2903PS-MAND implements two independent comparators using bipolar transistor architecture with internal current regulation (80 µA per side). Its input stage accepts common-mode voltages down to ground and up to VCC–2 V across full temperature range, while output transistors support open-collector sinking up to 6 mA per channel.
No internal phase compensation is required; propagation delay is 0.3 µs typical (TTL-level step, CL = 15 pF), and input bias current remains below –250 nA over –40°C to 125°C - ensuring stable threshold detection in high-impedance voltage divider networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive batteries without regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 7 mV at 25°C - sets minimum detectable voltage difference in precision window comparators |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | –25 nA at 25°C - enables use with >1 MΩ source impedances without significant error |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC–2 V - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground in single-supply systems |
| Output Sink Current | 6 mA at VOL ≤ 400 mV - drives LEDs, relays, or logic inputs directly without external pull-up resistors |
| Propagation Delay | 0.3 µs typical - sufficient for motor overcurrent protection and PWM fault detection |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress test profile |
Pinout & Package
LM2903PS-MAND is housed in an 8-pin plastic small-outline package (SOIC) with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and 5.3 mm × 6.2 mm body dimensions. The PS suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standard J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Open-collector output of comparator 1 - requires external pull-up to define logic HIGH level |
| 2 | IN–1 | Inverting input of comparator 1 - accepts signals up to VCC–2 V or down to –0.3 V |
| 3 | IN+1 | Non-inverting input of comparator 1 - same voltage range as IN–1; differential limit ±36 V |
| 4 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance path for output sink current return |
| 5 | IN+2 | Non-inverting input of comparator 2 - electrically isolated from comparator 1 inputs |
| 6 | IN–2 | Inverting input of comparator 2 - shares GND reference but no internal coupling with comparator 1 |
| 7 | OUT2 | Open-collector output of comparator 2 - independently configurable with separate pull-up |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply pin - supplies both comparators; no reverse polarity protection integrated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Includes ground and extends to VCC–2 V - eliminates need for level-shifting in battery-sensed circuits |
| Open-collector outputs | Enable wired-AND logic and mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU with 12 V load control) |
| Low quiescent current | 0.4 mA per comparator independent of supply voltage - critical for always-on vehicle modules |
| Differential input voltage tolerance | ±36 V - withstands load-dump transients and inductive kickback without clamping diodes |
| Automotive-grade qualification | LM2903PS-MAND meets AEC-Q100 requirements for temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD robustness |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903DR | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 package with standard reel orientation (not MAND variant) | Lacks automotive traceability documentation and AEC-Q100 certificate bundle | Select LM2903DR only for non-automotive industrial prototypes or cost-sensitive consumer designs |
| TLV3702IDR | Rail-to-rail input/output, 1 µA supply current, but 5.5 V max supply and –40°C to 125°C rating | Not suitable for 24 V systems or direct battery connection without level shifting | Choose TLV3702IDR where ultra-low power and precision offset (<2 mV) outweigh supply voltage limitations |
Compared with LM2903DR and TLV3702IDR, the LM2903PS-MAND uniquely combines 36 V operation, automotive qualification, and PS-package tape-and-reel delivery - making it the only option for production-tier 12/24 V automotive ECUs requiring full PPAP documentation and lot traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2903PS-MAND?
The LM2903PS-MAND supports a supply voltage range of 2 V to 36 V. Absolute maximum rating is 36 V on VCC, and differential input voltage tolerance is ±36 V - allowing direct interface with 24 V truck batteries and surviving load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 without external protection.
Does LM2903PS-MAND have rail-to-rail input capability?
Yes, the LM2903PS-MAND features a common-mode input voltage range that includes ground (0 V) and extends up to VCC–2 V across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). This enables direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground in single-supply configurations without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the output configuration of LM2903PS-MAND?
The LM2903PS-MAND has two independent open-collector outputs (OUT1 and OUT2). Each requires an external pull-up resistor to define the HIGH logic level. This configuration supports wired-AND logic, mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU controlling 12 V relay), and direct connection to TTL, MOS, or CMOS inputs.
Is LM2903PS-MAND qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM2903PS-MAND is the automotive-grade variant of the LM2903 family. It is tested over –40°C to 125°C and manufactured under stringent process controls aligned with AEC-Q100 requirements - including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) validation per HBM Class 2.
What does the "PS" in LM2903PS-MAND signify?
The "PS" suffix in LM2903PS-MAND indicates a plastic small-outline (SOIC-8) package supplied in tape-and-reel format per JEDEC standard J-STD-020. The "MAND" designation specifies manufacturer-assigned reel orientation and packaging compliance for automated SMT placement - distinct from standard DR or D packages.
