Product details
Overview
LM319H/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-speed dual comparator IC designed for precision threshold detection in industrial control and relay driver circuits. It operates from single 5-V or dual ±15-V supplies, delivers 80-ns response time at ±15 V, supports up to 25 mA output sink per channel, and features uncommitted open-collector outputs compatible with TTL/DTL/RTL logic families.
For engineers reviewing the LM319H/NOPB datasheet, LM319H/NOPB pinout, LM319H/NOPB application, or LM319H/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world timing and drive capability data, and validated alternative options for industrial analog signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The LM319H/NOPB implements two independent high-gain comparators on a monolithic bipolar process, each with differential inputs and open-collector NPN output stages. Its input stage provides high common-mode slew rate and rail-to-rail input voltage range (±13 V at ±15 V supply), while the output stage allows direct interface to relays, lamps, or logic families via external pull-up.
It is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation and uses the TO-100 (LME) 10-pin metal-can package with isolated ground pins (GND1 and GND2) enabling floating or split-ground configurations. Input offset voltage is 8 mV max at 25°C, and bias current remains below 1 μA over temperature - critical for high-impedance sensor interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Response Time | 80 ns at ±15 V supply with 100-mV input step and 5-mV overdrive - enables fast edge detection in motor control feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage Range | Single 5 V or dual ±15 V - supports direct integration into both digital logic systems and analog power rails. |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA per channel - sufficient to directly drive electromechanical relays without external buffer transistors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 8 mV max at 25°C - defines worst-case threshold error when comparing low-level signals like thermocouple outputs. |
| Input Bias Current | 1000 nA max at 25°C - ensures minimal loading on high-impedance sources such as photodiode amplifiers. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | ±13 V at ±15 V supply - allows valid operation even when inputs swing near supply rails, e.g., in battery monitoring. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems including HVAC controllers and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LM319H/NOPB uses the TO-100 (LME) 10-pin metal-can package (8.96 mm × 8.96 mm body, 5.72 mm max height), with hermetic sealing suitable for harsh environments. Pin 1 is identified by a dot or notch on the can top; leads are axial and solderable per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUTPUT 1) | Open-collector output of comparator 1 | Sinks up to 25 mA; requires external pull-up to define logic HIGH level and interface voltage. |
| 2 (GND 1) | Ground reference for comparator 1 | Enables isolated grounding - useful when comparator 1 monitors a separate subsystem or floating sensor. |
| 3 (INPUT 1+) | Inverting input of comparator 1 | Differential input pair; accepts voltages from –12 V to +12 V at ±15 V supply. |
| 4 (INPUT 1–) | Non-inverting input of comparator 1 | Paired with Pin 3; high-impedance node (<1 µA bias current) minimizes source loading. |
| 5 (V–) | Negative supply terminal | Accepts 0 V (for single-supply) or –15 V; sets lower rail for internal biasing and output swing. |
| 6 (OUTPUT 2) | Open-collector output of comparator 2 | Independent of OUTPUT 1; supports dual-threshold or window detection without cross-talk. |
| 7 (GND 2) | Ground reference for comparator 2 | Allows separate ground return path - critical for noise isolation in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| 8 (INPUT 2+) | Inverting input of comparator 2 | Functionally identical to Pin 3; supports independent signal comparison on second channel. |
| 9 (INPUT 2–) | Non-inverting input of comparator 2 | Paired with Pin 8; matched input characteristics ensure consistent performance across both comparators. |
| 10 (V+) | Positive supply terminal | Accepts 5 V (single) or +15 V (dual); powers internal circuitry and defines upper output saturation limit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two independent comparators | Enables simultaneous high/low threshold detection (e.g., window comparator) without inter-channel delay or coupling. |
| Uncommitted open-collector outputs | Permits wired-OR logic, level translation, and direct relay/lamp driving - eliminates need for external interface components. |
| High common-mode slew rate | Maintains accurate comparison during fast-rising common-mode transients (e.g., motor commutation noise). |
| Isolated ground terminals (GND1/GND2) | Supports differential sensing in noisy environments by separating analog and digital ground returns per channel. |
| Low input current (≤1 µA) | Preserves signal integrity when interfacing high-output-impedance sensors like RTDs or piezoelectric elements. |
Applications
| Relay Control System | Overvoltage Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: A programmable logic controller (PLC) module uses discrete voltage thresholds to activate 24-VDC industrial relays for motor start/stop sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM319H/NOPB acts as dual threshold detector - one comparator triggers relay ON above 22 V, the other disables it below 18 V to prevent chatter. Use Value: 80-ns response ensures rapid relay actuation during fault conditions; 25-mA sink drives relay coil directly without transistor buffer. |
Use Scenario: A DC power supply monitors output voltage and shuts down if exceeding 15.5 V to protect connected instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM319H/NOPB compares supply output against a precision 15.5-V reference using its high-impedance inputs and open-collector output to assert shutdown signal. Use Value: Input offset voltage ≤8 mV ensures trip point accuracy within ±0.1% of reference; rail-to-rail input range accommodates full 0–16-V monitoring span. |
| Window Detector for Sensor Signal | Logic-Level Translation Interface |
|
Use Scenario: An automotive oxygen sensor signal (0.1–0.9 V) must be validated within safe operating bounds before feeding to ECU ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM319H/NOPB implements a window comparator - one channel detects <0.15 V (low fault), the other >0.85 V (high fault), both outputs OR'd to flag error. Use Value: Matched input characteristics across channels minimize window asymmetry; 0°C to +70°C rating ensures reliability under hood temperature cycling. |
Use Scenario: A legacy 5-V microcontroller reads status from a 12-V industrial sensor bus requiring level-shifted logic signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LM319H/NOPB compares sensor voltage to 6-V threshold and pulls output LOW when active, generating clean 5-V-compatible logic levels via 5-V pull-up. Use Value: Open-collector output enables seamless voltage translation; 80-ns propagation supports real-time status updates in motion control feedback paths. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM319M/NOPB | Same electrical specs but in SOIC-14 package; no isolated ground pins; 0°C to +70°C rating. | Lacks GND1/GND2 separation - unsuitable for floating sensor interfaces requiring ground isolation. | Select when board space is constrained and ground isolation is not required; reflow-compatible surface-mount option. |
| LM393DR | Lower speed (1.3-µs response), lower supply current (0.8 mA), no negative supply support; SOIC-8. | Cannot operate from ±15 V or drive 25 mA loads - limited to low-power, single-supply logic-level detection. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-speed applications where 80-ns timing and relay drive are unnecessary. |
Compared with LM319M/NOPB and LM393DR, the LM319H/NOPB uniquely combines TO-100 hermetic packaging, dual isolated grounds, ±15-V operation, and 25-mA output drive - making it irreplaceable for ruggedized dual-threshold industrial sensing where layout isolation and robust drive capability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum output sink current specification for LM319H/NOPB?
The LM319H/NOPB is rated for 25 mA output sink current per channel at 25°C, as confirmed in Section 5.5 of the SNOSBJ2B datasheet. This allows direct driving of industrial relays and indicator lamps without external buffer transistors. Derating applies above 70°C ambient, and the absolute maximum continuous output current is limited by power dissipation (500 mW) and junction temperature (150°C).
Does LM319H/NOPB support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LM319H/NOPB supports true single-supply operation from 5 V (V+ = 5 V, V– = 0 V), with valid input voltage range of 1 V to 3 V under those conditions. Its open-collector outputs function correctly with a pull-up to the same 5-V rail, enabling compatibility with TTL and CMOS logic families in microcontroller-based systems.
What is the purpose of separate GND1 and GND2 pins on LM319H/NOPB?
GND1 and GND2 provide isolated ground return paths for comparator 1 and comparator 2, respectively. This physical separation prevents ground-loop coupling between channels - essential when one comparator monitors a noisy power rail while the other reads a sensitive sensor signal. The TO-100 package enables this architecture via dedicated internal bond wires.
Can LM319H/NOPB be used in place of LM319N/NOPB?
No - LM319H/NOPB (TO-100 metal can, 10-pin) and LM319N/NOPB (PDIP-14) have incompatible packages, pinouts, and thermal characteristics. While electrical specifications are identical, the LM319H/NOPB lacks pins for NC (1,2,13,14) and has merged ground references. PCB layout and thermal management must be redesigned; they are not drop-in replacements.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM319H/NOPB at room temperature?
The LM319H/NOPB has a maximum input offset voltage of 8 mV at 25°C, as specified in Table 5.5 of the SNOSBJ2B datasheet for the LM319 grade. This value defines the worst-case voltage difference between inputs required to drive the output within 1 V of either supply rail under 1-mA load conditions - critical for precision threshold setting in sensor interfaces.
