Product details
Overview
LM2903QDRQ1 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 HEV/EV powertrain monitoring, body control module voltage supervision, and infotainment system level-shifting interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903QDRQ1 datasheet, LM2903QDRQ1 pinout, LM2903QDRQ1 application, or LM2903QDRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specifications, SOIC-8 package layout details, functional safety documentation support, and validated alternative comparators for design-in continuity.
Technical Context
The LM2903QDRQ1 implements a PNP Darlington-pair input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode operation down to ground and up to VCC − 1.5 V, with internal clamping (Q15) ensuring valid output when inputs exceed VCM. Its open-drain NPN output supports wired-AND logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection across domains.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C ambient, supports single- or dual-supply configurations (VS = V+ − V− = 2 V to 36 V), and features 2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM ESD robustness per AEC-Q100-002/011. Total quiescent current is 600 µA typical at 5 V, independent of supply voltage across full operating range.
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 3.3 V/5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - Ensures accurate threshold detection in precision battery cell monitoring and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - Minimizes loading error on high-impedance voltage dividers used in HV battery pack sensing. |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 1 µs - Supports real-time fault response in motor control feedback loops and overvoltage protection circuits. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Ground to VCC − 1.5 V - Allows direct connection to low-side shunt resistors and ground-referenced sensors. |
| ESD Rating (HBM/CDM) | 2 kV / 1 kV - Meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for under-hood and chassis-mounted modules. |
| Quiescent Current (typ) | 600 µA - Enables always-on monitoring in low-power wake-up circuits without compromising battery life. |
Pinout & Package
LM2903QDRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) with body size 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, rated for 154.1°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The exposed pad is absent; all thermal dissipation occurs through leads and PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN sink - Requires external pull-up to define logic-high level; enables wired-AND bus configuration. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - Accepts signals down to ground; supports differential or single-ended sensing. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - Tolerates input voltages up to 36 V regardless of VCC, enabling overvoltage-safe monitoring. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for both comparators and internal bias - Must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling in mixed-signal environments. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Power rail for internal circuitry - Supports wide-range operation (2–36 V); no separate V− required for single-supply use. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent high-Z input - Enables dual-threshold detection (e.g., window comparator) without cross-talk. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent high-Z input - Matches 1IN− electrical behavior; supports mirrored or asymmetric reference schemes. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain NPN sink - Electrically isolated from 1OUT; allows independent pull-up voltages or shared bus with external diode OR-ing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903BQDRQ1 | Lower input offset voltage (±0.37 mV vs. ±4 mV max), improved 2 kV HBM ESD rating, same SOIC-8 footprint. | Better suited for precision battery cell monitoring where offset drift impacts state-of-charge accuracy. | Select LM2903BQDRQ1 when tighter offset spec and enhanced ESD immunity are required; drop-in replacement with identical pinout. |
| NCS2903DR2G | ON Semiconductor variant with −40°C to +125°C rating, ±7 mV max offset, 1.3 µs typical propagation delay, same SOIC-8 package. | Higher offset tolerance acceptable in non-critical supervisory functions like accessory power enable/disable. | Choose NCS2903DR2G for cost-sensitive designs where ±7 mV offset meets system-level accuracy requirements. |
Compared with LM2903QDRQ1, LM2903BQDRQ1 offers superior precision and ESD robustness for safety-critical monitoring, while NCS2903DR2G provides a second-source option with relaxed offset specs for less demanding subsystems-both maintain identical SOIC-8 mechanical compatibility and functional interface.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage supported by LM2903QDRQ1?
The LM2903QDRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This allows direct integration into 24 V commercial vehicle systems and 48 V mild-hybrid architectures without external regulation. Operation above 36 V risks permanent damage, and the device must not be subjected to transient spikes exceeding this limit even briefly.
Does LM2903QDRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903QDRQ1 supports dual-supply operation with VS = V+ − V− ranging from 2 V to 36 V, provided VCC is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. This enables use in bipolar signal conditioning circuits, such as op-amp comparator stages with split supplies, while maintaining full functionality across the −40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
Can LM2903QDRQ1 inputs safely exceed the VCC rail?
Yes, LM2903QDRQ1 inputs tolerate voltages up to 36 V regardless of VCC level, as confirmed by its ±36 V differential input voltage rating and absolute maximum input voltage specification of −0.3 V to 36 V. This enables direct monitoring of higher-voltage nodes (e.g., 12 V battery) while powered from a lower VCC (e.g., 3.3 V), eliminating level-shifter components in many automotive subsystems.
What is the purpose of the open-drain output configuration in LM2903QDRQ1?
The open-drain output in LM2903QDRQ1 allows external pull-up to any compatible logic voltage (e.g., 1.8 V, 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V), enabling seamless interfacing between disparate supply domains. It also supports wired-AND bus configurations for fault aggregation-multiple LM2903QDRQ1 outputs can share a single pull-up resistor and interrupt line, simplifying system-level fault reporting in distributed ECUs.
Is LM2903QDRQ1 compliant with functional safety standards?
Yes, LM2903QDRQ1 is functional safety-capable with documentation available to aid ISO 26262 system design. Texas Instruments provides FIT rate data, failure mode effect analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage guidance for ASIL-B applications. While the device itself is not ASIL-certified, its robustness, predictable failure modes, and support documentation make it suitable for use in safety-related automotive subsystems when integrated per functional safety requirements.
