Product details
Overview
LM2903VQDRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive dual voltage comparator with open-drain outputs, operating from 2 V to 36 V supply, ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 3.5 nA typical input bias current, and 1 µs typical propagation delay. It serves as a precision level-shifting and signal-conditioning element in HEV/EV powertrain monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903VQDRG4Q1 datasheet, LM2903VQDRG4Q1 pinout, LM2903VQDRG4Q1 application, or LM2903VQDRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Grade 1 temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), 2 kV HBM ESD rating, low quiescent current (600 µA max), open-collector output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS, and validated functional safety documentation support.
Technical Context
The LM2903VQDRG4Q1 implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators enabling high gain and fast response with minimal input bias current. Its input common-mode range includes ground and extends to VCC – 1.5 V, supporting accurate operation with 3.3 V and 5 V logic supplies.
Each comparator features an open-drain NPN output stage capable of sinking up to 25 mA, with output low voltage scaling resistively with sink current (e.g., 400 mV at 4 mA, 550 mV over full temperature range). The device supports single- or dual-supply operation, provided the supply difference remains within 2 V to 36 V and VCC exceeds the input common-mode voltage by ≥1.5 V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2903QPWRQ1 | TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm); identical electrical specs and Grade 1 qualification | Smaller footprint and improved thermal resistance (RθJA = 182.9°C/W vs. 154.1°C/W) - preferred for space-constrained PCB layouts | Select when board area is constrained and thermal performance must be optimized without changing circuit design. |
| LM2903BQDRQ1 | Same SOIC-8 package; improved 2 kV HBM ESD rating (vs. 1 kV for legacy Q1), lower offset voltage (±0.37 mV vs. ±4 mV max), and lower supply current (600 µA vs. 1 mA typ) | Enhanced robustness and precision for new designs requiring tighter tolerances and higher reliability in harsh environments | Choose for next-generation automotive modules where long-term stability and ESD immunity are critical. |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1, LM2903VQDRG4Q1 offers better thermal dissipation in SOIC-8 but larger footprint; compared with LM2903BQDRQ1, it shares identical package and pinout but trades slightly higher offset tolerance for proven field reliability in established platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903VQDRG4Q1?
The LM2903VQDRG4Q1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official TI datasheet SLCS141M. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and enables direct use with 24 V automotive battery systems without external regulation. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent damage.
Does LM2903VQDRG4Q1 support dual-supply operation?
Yes, LM2903VQDRG4Q1 supports dual-supply operation provided the difference between V+ and V– remains within 2 V to 36 V, and V+ is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. This configuration is explicitly validated in TI's recommended operating conditions and enables bipolar signal comparison in sensor interfaces.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LM2903VQDRG4Q1?
The input common-mode voltage range of LM2903VQDRG4Q1 spans from ground to VCC – 1.5 V at 25°C, and to VCC – 2.0 V over the full –40°C to +125°C range. This ground-inclusive range allows direct interfacing with sensors and references tied to chassis ground, a critical requirement in automotive body electronics.
Is LM2903VQDRG4Q1 pin-compatible with standard LM2903 variants?
Yes, LM2903VQDRG4Q1 uses the industry-standard SOIC-8 pinout defined for the LM2903-Q1 family, matching pin functions and locations with LM2903QPWRQ1 (TSSOP-8), LM2903BQDRQ1 (SOIC-8), and legacy LM2903QDRQ1. No PCB layout changes are required when substituting within the same package type.
What functional safety documentation is available for LM2903VQDRG4Q1?
Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for LM2903VQDRG4Q1 including FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and safety manual excerpts to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system development. These materials are accessible via TI's product folder and are specifically validated for the LM2903-Q1 and LM2903B-Q1 families.
