Product details
Overview
LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive dual open-drain comparator with ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 200 µA typical supply current per comparator, and operation across 2 V to 36 V single or dual supplies. It supports ground-sensing inputs and drives TTL/MOS/CMOS logic in body control modules and HEV/EV powertrain monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 datasheet, LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 pinout, LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 application, or LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 125°C ambient operating range, 2 kV HBM ESD rating, low input bias current (3.5 nA typ), differential input voltage tolerance up to ±36 V, and compatibility with pull-up configurations for wired-AND logic.
Technical Context
The LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 implements a PNP Darlington-pair input stage enabling high gain, fast response, and input common-mode range extending to ground while maintaining VCM = VCC − 1.5 V at the inverting input. Its open-drain NPN output sinks up to 21 mA and requires external pull-up for logic-level translation.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature with guaranteed performance at 36 V supply, supports differential input voltages up to ±38 V (per LM2903B-Q1 spec), and features dedicated ESD protection on all pins - distinguishing it from legacy LM2903-Q1 variants.
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 rails and 3.3 V/5 V logic without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37 mV - improves accuracy in precision threshold detection (e.g., battery cell voltage monitoring) |
| Supply Current (per comparator) | 200 µA typ at 5 V - reduces system power budget in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistor or potentiometer networks) |
| Propagation Delay (typ) | 300 ns (TTL input) - supports real-time fault detection in motor control or overvoltage shutdown paths |
| Differential Input Voltage | ±36 V - allows direct connection to high-side sensing nodes without clamping diodes |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2 kV - meets enhanced robustness requirements for under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 4.40 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain NPN sink - requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and enable wired-AND functionality |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Negative input node of first comparator - accepts signals down to −0.3 V and up to VCC − 1.5 V |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive input node of first comparator - supports common-mode range including ground and up to 36 V |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for supply and signal currents - must be low-impedance for stable comparator operation |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply rail or positive rail of dual supply - supports up to 36 V with no derating |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-drain output - electrically isolated from 1OUT for dual-channel decision logic |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Negative input node of second comparator - identical electrical characteristics to 1IN− |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Positive input node of second comparator - supports same wide common-mode and overvoltage tolerance as 1IN+ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) - validated for engine bay and chassis-mounted applications |
| Input stage architecture | PNP Darlington pair - delivers 3.5 nA typical input bias current and enables ground-referenced sensing |
| Output configuration | Open-drain NPN - permits flexible logic-level translation and wired-AND bus implementation |
| ESD robustness | 2 kV HBM / 1 kV CDM - exceeds baseline AEC-Q100 requirements for harsh automotive assembly and field environments |
| Supply flexibility | Operates from 2 V to 36 V single supply or dual supply with ≥1.5 V headroom - eliminates need for auxiliary regulators in multi-rail systems |

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 | Legacy LM2903-Q1 variant; higher 15 mV max offset voltage, 1 kV HBM ESD, 1.3 µs typical response time | Limited to less demanding automotive zones (e.g., cabin electronics); not rated for under-hood thermal stress | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and ESD robustness requirements |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input, 0.8 mV max offset, 1.2 µA quiescent current, but 36 V max supply and no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification | Suitable for low-power infotainment peripherals but lacks full automotive qualification for powertrain use | Choose for ultra-low-power applications where supply voltage stays ≤12 V and ambient temperature ≤85°C |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1 and TLV1702QDRQ1, the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 delivers superior offset accuracy and ESD immunity for critical powertrain functions, while retaining pin compatibility with standard TSSOP-8 footprints and requiring no PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage supported by the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1?
The LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings for LM2903B-Q1. This allows direct integration into 24 V commercial vehicle systems and high-side sensing applications without external voltage dividers or regulators. Operation remains stable across the full −40°C to +125°C ambient range at 36 V.
Does the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 have built-in hysteresis?
No, the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 does not include internal hysteresis. Hysteresis must be implemented externally using positive feedback from the open-drain output to the non-inverting input. This design choice provides full flexibility to set custom hysteresis thresholds based on application noise margins and switching stability requirements.
Can the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 operate with a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 operates reliably from 2 V to 36 V, including 3.3 V single supply. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality: input common-mode range includes ground, output sinks up to 6 mA, and propagation delay remains below 1 µs. Verified performance data is provided in Section 2.9 of the datasheet for VS = 3 V, 5 V, and 12 V.
Is the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 pin-compatible with standard LM2903 variants?
Yes, the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 uses the industry-standard TSSOP-8 pinout identical to LM2903-Q1, LM2903B-Q1, and LM2903E-Q1 in the same package. Pin functions (1OUT, 1IN−, 1IN+, GND, VCC, 2OUT, 2IN−, 2IN+) match exactly - enabling drop-in replacement where enhanced offset voltage and ESD performance are required.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 package?
The LM2903VQPWRG4Q1 does not use a WSON package with exposed pad; it is packaged in TSSOP-8 (PW), which has no thermal pad. The exposed pad reference applies only to DSG (WSON-8) variants like LM2903BDSGRQ1. For LM2903VQPWRG4Q1, thermal management relies on standard PCB copper pour connected to GND via multiple vias under the package body.
