Product details
Overview
LM2903QPWRRB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive dual voltage comparator with open-drain outputs, ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 200 µA typical supply current per comparator, and operation from 2 V to 36 V single or dual supplies. It serves as a precision level-shifting and threshold-detection IC in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903QPWRRB datasheet, LM2903QPWRRB pinout, LM2903QPWRRB application, or LM2903QPWRRB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP-8 package details, automotive-grade thermal and ESD performance (2 kV HBM), and functional alternatives for body control module and infotainment system designs.
Technical Context
The LM2903QPWRRB implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators enabling high gain (>200 V/mV), rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground, and differential input tolerance up to ±38 V. Its open-drain NPN output stage supports wired-AND logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection up to 36 V.
Designed for automotive environments, it operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient, features dedicated ESD protection on all pins (2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM), and includes internal clamping to force low output when inputs exceed VCM limits - critical for robustness in noisy vehicle electrical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V battery rails and wide-input industrial supplies without regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - enables accurate threshold detection at sub-millivolt levels in battery voltage monitoring |
| Supply Current (per comp) | 200 µA typical at 5 V - ensures ultra-low power consumption in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sensor reference dividers |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 300 ns (TTL input) - provides fast response for overvoltage/undervoltage fault detection in real time |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - exceeds AEC-Q100 H1C requirement for reliable operation in assembly and field environments |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground to (V+) – 2.0 V - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to chassis ground |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN sink - requires external pull-up; enables level shifting and wired-AND bus interfacing |
| 1IN− | Inverting input, Comp 1 | Darlington-pair input node - high impedance (3.5 nA bias), supports ground-referenced sensing |
| 1IN+ | Non-inverting input, Comp 1 | Darlington-pair input node - accepts voltages up to V+ without damage |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path; thermal pad must be soldered directly to PCB ground plane |
| 2IN+ | Non-inverting input, Comp 2 | Independent high-impedance input - usable for dual-threshold or window-comparator configurations |
| 2IN− | Inverting input, Comp 2 | Independent high-impedance input - supports differential sensing or reference comparison |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain NPN sink - electrically isolated from 1OUT; enables independent logic-level translation |
| VCC | Positive supply | Accepts 2–36 V - powers both comparators and internal bias circuitry; no separate V− required |

Applications
| HEV/EV Battery Monitoring | Infotainment System Power Sequencing |
|---|---|

| Body Control Module (BCM) Load Detection | Automotive HVAC Blower Control |
Use Scenario: Monitoring current-sense resistor voltage to detect open-circuit or short-circuit faults in door lock actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator detects overcurrent (via shunt voltage > threshold); second validates supply presence. Use Value: Dual integration eliminates need for discrete comparators; 3.5 nA input bias prevents measurement error on µA-level sense currents. | Use Scenario: Comparing PWM-derived average voltage against temperature-compensated thresholds to regulate blower motor speed. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM2903QPWRRB acts as analog hysteresis controller feeding gate driver enable logic. Use Value: Wide 2–36 V supply range accommodates variable 12 V battery voltage; ±38 V differential rating survives ignition noise transients. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QDRQ1 | SOIC-8 package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm); 1 kV HBM ESD rating; ±4 mV max offset over temp | Larger footprint; lower ESD robustness; higher offset drift in extended temperature cycling | Preferred for legacy PCBs with SOIC land patterns or cost-sensitive non-safety-critical modules |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input; 0.9 V to 36 V supply; 380 µA IQ; 1.2 µs propagation delay; 1.5 mV offset | Higher precision input stage but slower response; not drop-in due to different pinout and supply behavior | Selected when rail-to-rail input common-mode range is mandatory and response time >1 µs is acceptable |
Compared with LM2903QDRQ1, LM2903QPWRRB offers tighter offset and superior ESD immunity in a smaller TSSOP package; versus TLV1702QDRQ1, it trades input flexibility for faster fault detection and proven AEC-Q100 reliability in high-noise powertrain domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903QPWRRB?
The LM2903QPWRRB supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V under recommended operating conditions. Absolute maximum rating is 38 V for differential supply (V+ − V−), but sustained operation above 36 V risks parametric degradation. This rating enables direct interface with 24 V commercial vehicle systems and 12 V automotive batteries under load-dump conditions.
Does LM2903QPWRRB require a negative supply rail?
No, LM2903QPWRRB operates from a single positive supply (2 V to 36 V) with ground reference. Its input common-mode range includes ground, and outputs are open-drain - eliminating need for dual supplies. The device functions correctly with V− tied to GND, making it ideal for cost-sensitive automotive applications where negative rails are unavailable.
How does the open-drain output of LM2903QPWRRB interface with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
The LM2903QPWRRB open-drain output interfaces with a 3.3 V microcontroller by connecting an external pull-up resistor from the output pin (e.g., 1OUT) to the MCU's 3.3 V I/O rail. When the comparator asserts low, it sinks current to GND; when inactive, the pull-up defines the logic-high level. This configuration ensures voltage-level compatibility without level-shifters.
Is LM2903QPWRRB pin-compatible with standard LM2903 variants?
LM2903QPWRRB uses the industry-standard TSSOP-8 pinout (1OUT, 1IN−, 1IN+, GND, 2IN+, 2IN−, 2OUT, VCC), matching LM2903QDRQ1 (SOIC-8) and LM2903QPWR (non-Q1 TSSOP-8) in signal assignment. Mechanical compatibility is limited to TSSOP-8 footprints; SOIC variants require PCB redesign despite identical pin function mapping.
What automotive temperature grade applies to LM2903QPWRRB?
LM2903QPWRRB is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for ambient operating temperatures from –40°C to +125°C. This grade covers most engine bay, cabin, and chassis-mounted applications excluding extreme under-hood locations reserved for Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C). Full qualification documentation is available from Texas Instruments for functional safety system integration.
