Product details
Overview
LM319AMX from Texas Instruments is a precision high-speed dual comparator IC designed for logic-level supply operation and industrial signal conditioning. It features 80-ns response time at ±15 V, 0.5–2 mV input offset voltage (max), and uncommitted open-collector outputs capable of sinking 25 mA - enabling direct relay or TTL/DTL/RTL interface in power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM319AMX datasheet, LM319AMX pinout, LM319AMX application, or LM319AMX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package mapping, real-world timing performance, and validated alternative comparators for high-speed threshold detection designs.
Technical Context
The LM319AMX implements two independent high-gain comparators on a single monolithic die with rail-to-rail input common-mode range up to ±13 V at ±15 V supplies and 1–3 V at 5-V single supply. Its uncommitted NPN output stage supports flexible pull-up configurations and direct drive of lamps, relays, or logic families without external level-shifting.
It operates across 0°C to +70°C and is specified for supply voltages from 5 V (single) to ±15 V (dual), with improved precision over standard LM319 via tighter offset voltage (1 mV typ), offset current (40 nA typ), and voltage gain (20–40 V/mV) tolerances.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Response Time | 80 ns at ±15 V supply - enables sub-100 ns threshold detection for fast pulse discrimination and digital edge generation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.5–2 mV max at 25°C - ensures accurate voltage windowing and low-error zero-crossing detection in analog monitoring. |
| Input Offset Current | 20–80 nA max - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces such as thermistor or photodiode front-ends. |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA max - directly drives electromechanical relays, LEDs, or TTL inputs without external buffer transistors. |
| Supply Voltage Range | Single 5 V or dual ±15 V - supports compatibility with both logic systems and legacy analog power rails. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | ±13 V at ±15 V supply; 1–3 V at 5-V supply - allows sensing near supply rails in battery-powered or rail-referenced systems. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control, instrumentation, and industrial automation equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LM319AMX is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 8.75 mm × 3.91 mm × 1.75 mm (max height), RoHS-compliant with SN lead finish and Level-1 MSL rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14 | NC | No-connect pins - must remain unconnected per datasheet; no grounding or routing allowed. |
| 2 | GND 1 | Ground reference for comparator 1 - separate ground terminal enables isolated signal paths or differential referencing. |
| 3 | INPUT 1+ | Inverting/non-inverting input selection depends on external circuit - pin functions as either input polarity per design configuration. |
| 4 | INPUT 1− | Paired with Pin 3 for comparator 1 differential input - supports hysteresis feedback or reference biasing networks. |
| 5 | V− | Negative supply rail - accepts 0 V (for single-supply) or negative voltage (e.g., −15 V) to set output swing limits. |
| 6 | OUTPUT 1 | Open-collector NPN output - requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and sink current up to 25 mA. |
| 7 | GND 2 | Ground reference for comparator 2 - electrically isolated from Pin 2 to support dual-ground system partitioning. |
| 8 | INPUT 2+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input - used independently for second threshold comparison or window detector top bound. |
| 9 | INPUT 2− | Comparator 2 inverting input - paired with Pin 8 for second independent comparison function or hysteresis implementation. |
| 10 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts 5 V (logic-compatible) or +15 V (full-range analog) to configure operating headroom. |
| 11, 12, 13 | NC | No-connect pins - left floating per TI specification; no internal connection or functional role. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Use Value: Rail-to-rail input range (1–3 V at 5-V supply) accommodates full 3.3-V swing; open-collector output prevents bus contention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Slower 1.3-μs response, lower supply current (0.8 mA), no dual-ground terminals, SOIC-8 package. | Better suited for low-power battery monitoring than high-speed pulse discrimination. | Select LM393DR only when speed <100 kHz and quiescent current <1 mA are primary constraints. |
| TL331IDBVR | Single comparator, 200-ns response, rail-to-rail input, SOT-23-5 package, 60-μA supply current. | Requires two units for dual-function use; lacks independent ground pins and relay-drive sink capability. | Choose TL331IDBVR for space-constrained, ultra-low-power designs where dual comparators can be implemented discretely. |
Compared with LM319AMX, LM393DR trades speed for power efficiency and integration density, while TL331IDBVR offers modern rail-to-rail operation but requires duplication and sacrifices drive strength and dual-ground isolation - making LM319AMX uniquely suitable for legacy-compatible, high-speed industrial threshold detection.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current of the LM319AMX?
The LM319AMX provides a guaranteed 25 mA output sink current per channel at 25°C when VOUT ≤ 1.5 V and VIN ≤ −10 mV. This allows direct drive of relays, LEDs, or TTL logic without external transistors. Derating applies above 70°C ambient, and the absolute maximum continuous sink is limited by power dissipation (500 mW) and thermal resistance (100°C/W for SOIC).
Does the LM319AMX support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LM319AMX operates from a single 5-V supply with input common-mode range of 1 V to 3 V and full functionality. Its open-collector outputs require an external pull-up resistor tied to the same or higher voltage rail. The device maintains 80-ns response time and 0.5–2 mV offset voltage under these conditions, making it suitable for 5-V logic systems and mixed-signal embedded designs.
What is the purpose of separate GND1 and GND2 pins on the LM319AMX?
Pins 2 (GND1) and 7 (GND2) provide independent ground references for each comparator's internal circuitry. This separation reduces crosstalk between channels and enables differential or isolated signal routing - critical in noise-sensitive applications like sensor front-ends or multi-channel data acquisition. Both grounds must connect to the same system ground plane unless intentional isolation is implemented externally.
Can the LM319AMX replace the LM319 in existing designs?
Yes, the LM319AMX is a drop-in replacement for the standard LM319 in SOIC-14 packages, sharing identical pinout, footprint, and electrical characteristics - except for tighter offset voltage (0.5–2 mV vs. 8 mV max), lower offset current (20–80 nA vs. 200 nA max), and improved voltage gain. No PCB changes are required, and performance upgrades occur automatically in precision threshold detection applications.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for LM319AMX outputs?
A 1.4-kΩ pull-up resistor to +5 V or +15 V is specified in TI's characterization (e.g., saturation voltage and response time tests). For 5-V logic, 1–10 kΩ balances speed and power; for relay drive, ≤1 kΩ ensures full 25 mA sink capability. Values below 470 Ω risk exceeding 500 mW total package dissipation at worst-case conditions.
