Overview
LM2903QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual open-drain comparator designed for automotive voltage monitoring and level-shifting applications. It operates from 2 V to 36 V single supply (or ±18 V dual supply), delivers ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and 1 µs typical propagation delay - enabling precise threshold detection in HEV/EV powertrain and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903QPWRQ1 datasheet, LM2903QPWRQ1 pinout, LM2903QPWRQ1 application, or LM2903QPWRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (TSSOP-8), confirmed pin functions, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs (2 kV HBM), and validated alternatives for functional replacement in safety-critical designs.
Technical Context
The LM2903QPWRQ1 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 range. Its open-drain NPN output supports wired-AND logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection independent of VCC.
It features dedicated on-die ESD protection on all pins (2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM), tri-temp tested options, and guaranteed operation across −40°C to +125°C ambient - meeting functional safety requirements for ASIL-B–capable systems via documented safety analysis support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size) with exposed thermal pad connected directly to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation in high-ambient automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN collector - requires external pull-up; sinks current when IN+ < IN− + VIO. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | High-impedance PNP Darlington base - accepts signals from ground up to VCC − 1.5 V. |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Same high-Z input as 1IN−; supports differential or single-ended sensing configurations. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for supply, inputs, and thermal pad - must be low-impedance plane for noise immunity. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent input stage identical to 1IN+; enables dual-threshold or hysteresis implementation. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent input stage identical to 1IN−; supports fully decoupled dual-comparator operation. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain output electrically isolated from 1OUT - supports independent pull-up voltages per channel. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply rail powering both comparators; tolerant of transients up to 38 V (abs max). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QDRQ1 | SOIC-8 package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm); identical electrical specs and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. | Larger footprint; better thermal mass but higher parasitic capacitance - preferred for prototyping or legacy board compatibility. | Select when board layout accommodates SOIC or thermal performance outweighs space constraints. |
| TLV1701QDBVRQ1 | Single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output, 36 V supply, 0.9 mV max offset, 1.2 µs propagation delay - lower power (55 µA), no open-drain output. | Requires two devices for dual functionality; push-pull output limits level-shifting flexibility but improves rise time. | Select when ultra-low IQ is critical and push-pull logic interface suffices - not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1, LM2903QDRQ1 offers identical performance in a larger SOIC package ideal for manual assembly or thermal-heavy environments, while TLV1701QDBVRQ1 trades open-drain flexibility and dual-channel integration for 90% lower quiescent current and rail-to-rail output swing - requiring redesign for wired-AND or multi-voltage logic interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903QPWRQ1?
The LM2903QPWRQ1 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 38 V, with recommended operation up to 36 V. This rating applies to the difference between VCC and GND pins and enables direct connection to 24 V automotive systems and transient-tolerant designs. Exceeding 38 V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LM2903QPWRQ1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903QPWRQ1 supports dual-supply operation as long as the difference between V+ and V− is within 2 V to 36 V, and V+ is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. This configuration allows bipolar signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces while maintaining full AEC-Q100 qualification.
Is LM2903QPWRQ1 pin-compatible with standard LM2903 variants?
LM2903QPWRQ1 shares identical pinout with all LM2903-Q1 family members in TSSOP-8 (PW) package, including LM2903QDRQ1 (SOIC), LM2903QDGKRQ1 (VSSOP), and LM2903QBDRQ1 (SOIC). Pin functions, spacing, and thermal pad connection are consistent across qualified variants - enabling direct PCB footprint reuse.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LM2903QPWRQ1?
The input common-mode voltage range of LM2903QPWRQ1 spans from ground to VCC − 1.5 V at 25°C, extending to VCC − 2.0 V across −40°C to +125°C. This allows direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground - such as battery voltage or current-shunt outputs - without level-shifting circuitry.
Can LM2903QPWRQ1 outputs be wire-OR'd together?
Yes, LM2903QPWRQ1 features open-drain NPN outputs that can be externally tied together with a shared pull-up resistor to implement wired-AND logic. This is commonly used in fault-bus architectures where multiple comparators assert a single system alert line - provided each output's sink current remains within 25 mA absolute maximum rating.
