Product details
Overview
LM319N/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-speed dual comparator IC designed for precision threshold detection in industrial and instrumentation systems. It operates from single 5-V or dual ±15-V supplies, delivers 80-ns typical response time, supports ±13-V input common-mode range, and drives TTL/RTL/DTL loads up to 25 mA per output - enabling direct relay and lamp control without external buffers.
For engineers reviewing the LM319N/NOPB datasheet, LM319N/NOPB pinout, LM319N/NOPB application, or LM319N/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and confirmed alternative options for voltage-comparator-based signal conditioning, window detection, and digital interface translation.
Technical Context
The LM319N/NOPB integrates two independent comparators on a monolithic bipolar process, each featuring uncommitted NPN open-collector outputs compatible with multiple logic families and discrete loads. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail input operation within ±13 V at ±15-V supply and maintains stable performance across 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature.
It uses high-gain differential input stages with low input bias current (≤500 nA) and tight offset voltage control (≤8 mV max), enabling accurate level sensing in noisy environments. The device's high slew rate and fast propagation delay are optimized for applications requiring sub-100-ns decision latency under 5-mV overdrive conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Response Time | 80 ns typical at ±15 V supply with 100-mV input step and 5-mV overdrive - enables high-frequency threshold detection in pulse-width modulation or zero-crossing circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 8 mV maximum at 25°C - defines worst-case DC error band when comparing near-equal analog signals. |
| Input Bias Current | 500 nA maximum at 25°C - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sensor sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA per channel - allows direct driving of relays, LEDs, or TTL inputs without external transistors. |
| Supply Voltage Range | Single 5 V or dual ±15 V - supports compatibility with both logic-level and legacy analog power domains. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | ±13 V at ±15 V supply - permits operation with inputs referenced to system ground or floating references. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and test equipment applications. |
Pinout & Package
LM319N/NOPB is housed in a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), 19.56 mm × 6.67 mm body size, with through-hole mounting and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Comparator 1 Output | Open-collector NPN output; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and sink up to 25 mA. |
| 2 | Comparator 1 Ground | Dedicated ground reference for first comparator stage; isolates noise coupling between channels. |
| 3 | Comparator 1 Non-Inverting Input | High-impedance input accepting signals up to ±13 V common-mode range relative to supply rails. |
| 4 | Comparator 1 Inverting Input | Matches Pin 3 in impedance and voltage range; used with Pin 3 to configure hysteresis or reference thresholds. |
| 5 | Negative Supply Voltage | Accepts −15 V minimum; sets lower rail for dual-supply operation and defines input/output swing limits. |
| 6 | Comparator 2 Output | Independent open-collector output identical in function and drive capability to Pin 1. |
| 7 | Comparator 2 Ground | Separate ground return for second comparator; enhances channel-to-channel isolation in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 8 | Comparator 2 Non-Inverting Input | Electrically matched to Pin 3; enables simultaneous dual-threshold evaluation (e.g., window detection). |
| 9 | Comparator 2 Inverting Input | Paired with Pin 8; supports differential or single-ended configurations per channel. |
| 10 | Positive Supply Voltage | Accepts +5 V to +15 V; powers both comparators and defines upper rail for output saturation and input range. |
| 11–14 | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two Independent Comparators | Enables concurrent evaluation of separate analog signals - e.g., overvoltage and undervoltage detection in power supplies. |
| Open-Collector Outputs | Supports wired-OR logic, level translation across voltage domains, and direct interfacing to relays, lamps, or TTL/DTL/RTL loads. |
| Wide Supply Range | Operates from single 5-V logic supply or dual ±15-V analog rails - simplifies design in mixed-signal systems without dedicated bias generators. |
| Low Input Current | Maximum 500 nA bias current minimizes error in high-source-impedance applications such as precision sensor interfaces. |
| Fast Response Time | 80-ns typical propagation delay ensures reliable timing-critical decisions in motor control commutation or pulse-edge detection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Lower supply current (0.8 mA vs. 12.5 mA), slower response (1.3 µs), rail-to-rail input, SOIC-8 package. | Better suited for battery-powered sensors; unsuitable for high-speed or high-current relay drive. | Select LM393DR only when power efficiency and small footprint outweigh speed and drive strength requirements. |
| TL331IDBVR | Single comparator, 1.4 µs response, 60-µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package, rail-to-rail output. | Requires two units for dual functionality; lacks dedicated ground pins per channel and open-collector flexibility. | Choose TL331IDBVR for space-constrained designs where dual-channel integration is not mandatory. |
Compared with LM319N/NOPB, LM393DR trades speed and output drive for ultra-low power and compact packaging, while TL331IDBVR sacrifices channel integration and robust output architecture for minimal board area - making LM319N/NOPB uniquely suitable for industrial relay interfaces requiring speed, isolation, and load-driving capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for LM319N/NOPB?
The LM319N/NOPB supports total supply voltage up to 36 V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying ±15 V dual supply or single 5-V operation. Exceeding ±15 V risks permanent damage; operation above 16 V between ground and either supply rail violates recommended conditions per TI's datasheet SNOSBJ2B.
Can LM319N/NOPB drive a 12-V relay directly?
Yes, LM319N/NOPB can drive a 12-V relay directly: each open-collector output sinks up to 25 mA at saturation voltage ≤1.5 V when VIN ≤ −10 mV, enabling full activation of standard 12-V, 20-mA coil relays with appropriate pull-up to 12 V. No external transistor is required.
Does LM319N/NOPB support single-supply operation?
Yes, LM319N/NOPB is fully specified for single 5-V operation with ground reference. Input common-mode range extends from 1 V to 3 V under this condition, and output saturation voltage remains ≤0.4 V at 3.2-mA sink current - making it viable for logic-level interfacing in modern embedded systems.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM319N/NOPB?
The LM319N/NOPB has a maximum input offset voltage of 8 mV at 25°C, as specified in Section 5.5 of the TI datasheet SNOSBJ2B. This value defines the worst-case DC error when forcing the output within 1 V of either supply rail with a 1-mA load, accounting for gain and impedance effects.
Is LM319N/NOPB pin-compatible with LM339?
No, LM319N/NOPB is not pin-compatible with LM339. LM319N/NOPB uses a 14-pin PDIP with dedicated ground pins per comparator (Pins 2 and 7) and dual supply rails (Pins 5 and 10), whereas LM339 is a quad comparator in 14-pin PDIP with shared ground (Pin 12) and single positive supply (Pin 3). Their pinouts and internal architectures differ fundamentally.
