Overview
LM2903QDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain 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 voltage monitoring, window detection, and level-shifting circuits within HEV/EV powertrain and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903QDGKRQ1 datasheet, LM2903QDGKRQ1 pinout, LM2903QDGKRQ1 application, or LM2903QDGKRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade thermal and ESD performance (2 kV HBM), package-validated pin functions, and real-world use cases aligned with TI's LM2903B-Q1 family documentation.
Technical Context
The LM2903QDGKRQ1 implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators enabling high gain, low input bias current, and rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground. Its open-drain outputs support wired-AND logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection up to 36 V.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, supports single- or dual-supply configurations (with ≥1.5 V headroom between VCC and input common-mode), and features integrated input clamping (Q15) to force low output when inputs exceed VCM limits - critical for robustness in noisy automotive environments.
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 compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic domains via external pull-up. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision battery monitoring and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources such as thermistors or resistive divider references. |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 1 µs at 5 V supply - supports fast response in overvoltage lockout and motor phase timing applications. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for assembly and in-vehicle operation without additional protection circuitry. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NPN - allows level translation, wired-AND logic, and direct interfacing with TTL, CMOS, or microcontroller GPIO pins. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - validated for under-hood and powertrain locations per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, exposed thermal pad connected directly to GND for improved thermal dissipation in high-ambient automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN sink - requires external pull-up; drives low when IN+ < IN− by > VIO. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Accepts signals from ground to (VCC − 1.5 V); supports differential input up to ±38 V. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Same voltage range as 1IN−; enables reference-based or zero-crossing detection topologies. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for supply, inputs, and thermal pad - must be low-impedance connection for stability. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent of Comparator 1; supports dual-threshold or window-comparator configurations. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Matches 1IN− specs; enables differential sensing or feedback path monitoring. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-drain output - can be tied to 1OUT for wired-AND logic or separate pull-ups. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply input; supports dual supplies if |V+ − V−| ≤ 36 V and V+ ≥ (VCM + 1.5 V). |

Applications
| Overvoltage Protection Circuit | Battery Cell Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting battery pack voltage exceeding safe thresholds in 48 V mild-hybrid systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares sensed voltage against upper/lower reference rails to assert fault flag. Use Value: ±0.37 mV offset enables <10 mV detection margin; 36 V supply rating allows direct connection to pack bus without level shifters. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring individual Li-ion cell voltages during charging/discharging in EV battery management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each comparator independently checks cell voltage against overcharge/undervoltage thresholds. Use Value: 3.5 nA input bias current prevents measurement error in high-resistance voltage dividers used for isolation. |
| Window Comparator for Motor Phase Detection | Level Translation Interface |
Use Scenario: Validating zero-crossing and commutation timing in BLDC motor controllers using back-EMF sensing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator detects rising edge, the other falling edge of sinusoidal back-EMF waveform. Use Value: 1 µs propagation delay ensures sub-microsecond timing resolution; open-drain outputs interface directly with MCU interrupt pins. |
Use Scenario: Translating 12 V sensor signals to 3.3 V MCU inputs in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator acts as voltage-level translator with hysteresis enabled via feedback resistor. Use Value: 2 V to 36 V supply range permits use of same part for multiple voltage domains; rail-to-ground input supports unipolar sensor outputs. |
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 | VSSOP-8 package with identical electrical specs; 176.5°C/W RθJA vs. 182.9°C/W for DGK - slightly better thermal performance. | Same AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and functional safety documentation; optimized for higher-power density layouts. | Select when board space constraints favor smaller footprint or thermal margin is critical in sealed enclosures. |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Lower supply current (55 µA vs. 600 µA), rail-to-rail input, but max supply = 36 V and offset = ±1.5 mV - less precision, higher speed (1.2 µs). | Not qualified for Grade 1 extended temp; rated only to +105°C - suitable for cabin electronics but not under-hood. | Choose for low-power infotainment or cluster applications where offset tolerance >1 mV is acceptable and ambient stays below 105°C. |
Compared with LM2903QDGKRQ1, LM2903QPWRQ1 offers marginal thermal improvement in same-function packaging, while TLV1702QDRQ1 trades precision and temperature grade for ultra-low quiescent current - making it viable only in non-critical, lower-temperature subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage supported by the LM2903QDGKRQ1?
The LM2903QDGKRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, as confirmed in Section 2.2 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the official TI datasheet SLCS141M. This rating applies to the differential supply voltage (V+ − V−) and enables direct connection to 24 V and 36 V automotive battery rails without external regulation. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent damage.
Does the LM2903QDGKRQ1 have built-in ESD protection, and what level is specified?
Yes, the LM2903QDGKRQ1 features integrated ESD protection rated at 2 kV HBM (Human Body Model) and 1 kV CDM (Charged Device Model), per AEC-Q100-002 and AEC-Q100-011. This is explicitly documented in Section 2.4 of the TI datasheet SLCS141M and distinguishes the "B"-suffix variant (including LM2903QDGKRQ1) from earlier LM2903-Q1 versions with 1 kV HBM.
Can the LM2903QDGKRQ1 operate with inputs below ground potential?
No - the LM2903QDGKRQ1 does not support negative input voltages below GND. Per Section 2.9 Electrical Characteristics, the absolute minimum input voltage is –0.3 V. Inputs below this threshold risk forward-biasing internal ESD diodes and causing excessive current flow. The device's common-mode range starts at GND and extends upward to (VCC − 1.5 V).
Is the LM2903QDGKRQ1 pin-compatible with standard LM2903-Q1 variants in VSSOP-8 packages?
Yes, the LM2903QDGKRQ1 shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface with other LM2903-Q1 family members in the DGK (VSSOP-8) package, including LM2903QPWRQ1 and LM2903QDRQ1. Pin functions - 1OUT, 1IN−, 1IN+, GND, 2IN+, 2IN−, 2OUT, VCC - are fully consistent across all VSSOP-8 variants per Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 in the TI datasheet.
What is the typical quiescent current consumption of the LM2903QDGKRQ1 at 5 V supply?
The LM2903QDGKRQ1 draws 400 µA to 600 µA typical total quiescent current at 5 V supply and 25°C, as specified in Section 2.9 (IQ parameter). This value scales with supply voltage and remains below 800 µA across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, supporting low-power always-on automotive monitoring functions.
