Product details
Overview
LM2903VQPWRQ1 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 LM2903VQPWRQ1 datasheet, LM2903VQPWRQ1 pinout, LM2903VQPWRQ1 application, or LM2903VQPWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), open-collector TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs, low 600 µA total quiescent current at 5 V, and guaranteed operation up to 36 V supply with rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground.
Technical Context
The LM2903VQPWRQ1 implements two independent PNP Darlington-pair input comparators, enabling high gain and fast response while maintaining ultra-low input bias current. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from ground to VCC – 1.5 V and differential inputs up to ±36 V without damage.
Output logic is implemented via open-drain NPN transistors capable of sinking up to 21 mA per channel, compatible with external pull-up resistors to any logic rail. The device operates on single or split supplies as long as the supply difference remains within 2 V to 36 V and VCC exceeds the input common-mode voltage by ≥1.5 V.

Use Scenario: Monitoring cell-string voltages and pack-level overvoltage/undervoltage thresholds in 48 V mild-hybrid and high-voltage traction battery systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator performs independent high- and low-threshold detection with hysteresis; open-drain outputs drive MCU interrupt lines or fault latches. Use Value: ±0.37 mV offset and 1 µs response enable sub-10 mV threshold resolution and <2 µs fault latency - critical for ASIL-B functional safety compliance. | Use Scenario: Validating regulated 5 V and 3.3 V rails powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and LED drivers in door modules and lighting controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator monitors VDD vs reference; second verifies backup supply presence - both feed OR'd fault signal to system watchdog. Use Value: 2 V to 36 V supply range allows direct connection to main battery; 600 µA IQ avoids loading standby regulators during sleep modes. |
| Infotainment Display Backlight Control | Power Train Coolant Temperature Interface |
Use Scenario: Converting analog thermistor or DAC output into PWM-enabling logic for LED backlight dimming based on ambient light and temperature. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares sensor-derived voltage to programmable threshold; output drives gate of external MOSFET or enables PWM generator. Use Value: Rail-to-rail input capability accepts 0–3.3 V sensor outputs directly; open-drain output interfaces seamlessly with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic without level shifters. | Use Scenario: Interfacing NTC thermistor networks in engine coolant and transmission oil circuits to MCU ADC inputs with overtemperature lockout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator detects temperature breach beyond safe limit; output pulls down MCU reset line or asserts hardware fault flag. Use Value: –40°C to +125°C operation matches under-hood thermal envelope; ±4 mV max offset ensures <±1°C measurement uncertainty at 100°C. |
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 | Higher ±15 mV max input offset voltage; 1 mA typical supply current; 1.3 µs typical propagation delay | Limited to less demanding threshold detection where precision and speed are secondary to cost | Select when B-version performance is unnecessary and legacy qualification suffices |
| TLV1702QDRQ1 | Rail-to-rail input; 36 V max supply; 0.9 µs propagation delay; 125 µA IQ; internal hysteresis option | Requires external pull-up but offers lower power and faster response; no AEC-Q100 Grade 0 option | Prefer for new designs needing lower IQ or tighter timing margins, accepting different pinout |
Compared with LM2903QPWRQ1 and TLV1702QDRQ1, the LM2903VQPWRQ1 delivers superior offset accuracy and ESD robustness for mission-critical automotive monitoring, while retaining full pin compatibility with the LM2903-Q1 family and proven field reliability across 20+ years of deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM2903VQPWRQ1?
The LM2903VQPWRQ1 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official datasheet. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and enables direct connection to automotive battery rails without external regulation. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent damage to the device.
Does LM2903VQPWRQ1 support rail-to-rail input operation?
The LM2903VQPWRQ1 does not support true rail-to-rail input operation. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from ground to VCC – 1.5 V for the inverting input, while the non-inverting input can tolerate voltages up to 36 V above ground regardless of VCC. This architecture allows ground-referenced sensing and overvoltage-tolerant inputs but requires design attention to input voltage limits relative to supply.
Can LM2903VQPWRQ1 outputs be wire-OR'ed together?
Yes, LM2903VQPWRQ1 outputs can be safely wire-OR'ed due to their open-drain configuration. When multiple outputs share a common pull-up resistor, the combined node goes low if any comparator asserts. This enables hardware-based priority encoding, fault aggregation, or AND logic implementation without additional discrete components - a key feature confirmed in the functional description and typical application schematics.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for LM2903VQPWRQ1 over temperature?
The LM2903VQPWRQ1 guarantees a maximum input offset voltage of ±4 mV over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, as specified in Section 2.9 of the datasheet. This value is distinct from the ±0.37 mV typical value measured at 25°C and reflects worst-case drift across automotive thermal extremes - essential for designing reliable threshold detection in safety-critical systems.
Is LM2903VQPWRQ1 pin-compatible with standard LM2903-Q1 variants?
Yes, LM2903VQPWRQ1 is fully pin-compatible with other LM2903-Q1 family members in the TSSOP-8 (PW) package, including LM2903QPWRQ1 and LM2903BQPWRQ1. Pin functions, physical layout, and thermal pad grounding match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification - a documented feature confirmed in TI's orderable addendum and mechanical drawings.
