Product details
Overview
LM339ADBR from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator IC designed for precision voltage comparison in single-supply systems. It features ±38 V differential input voltage range, 0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 200 µA per comparator supply current, and 1 µs propagation delay. It is widely used in server PSU overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM339ADBR datasheet, LM339ADBR pinout, LM339ADBR application, or LM339ADBR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package details, real-world use cases in industrial power monitoring, and validated alternative options with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LM339ADBR operates as an open-collector quad comparator with rail-to-rail input capability extending to ground and up to VCC – 2 V. Its internal architecture supports independent channel operation without crosstalk, enabling simultaneous threshold detection across four analog inputs.
It uses bipolar process technology optimized for wide supply range (2–36 V), low quiescent current scalability, and robust ESD tolerance (2 kV HBM). Input stage design allows one input to exceed VCC while maintaining valid output state if the other remains within common-mode range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial power rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±5.5 mV over temperature - enables accurate threshold detection down to ~5 mV differential in ambient and extended temp environments. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs typical - suitable for fast-response applications like overvoltage latch and PWM feedback comparators. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor outputs such as thermistor dividers or photodiode amplifiers. |
| Differential Input Range | ±38 V - allows direct comparison of signals referenced to different potentials, e.g., phase-to-phase voltages in AC-DC converters. |
| Output Sink Current | 21 mA - drives standard TTL/CMOS logic directly or interfaces with optocouplers and small-signal MOSFET gates without external buffers. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements and reduces need for external ESD protection in board-level designs. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Same SOIC-14 package; identical electrical specs but rated only to 30 V max supply and ±9 mV max offset voltage at temperature. | Limited to lower-voltage applications (<30 V); not qualified for 36 V industrial rails or high-precision thresholds. | Select LM339DR only if operating below 30 V and offset tolerance >±9 mV is acceptable. |
| LM2901DBR | Same pinout and SOIC-14 package; extends temperature range to –40°C to +125°C and maintains ±5.5 mV offset spec across full range. | Better suited for automotive under-hood or industrial motor drive environments where ambient exceeds 85°C. | Choose LM2901DBR when extended temperature operation is required and full-spec performance must be guaranteed beyond 85°C. |
Compared with LM339DR, LM339ADBR offers higher supply voltage headroom (36 V vs. 30 V) and tighter offset stability; compared with LM2901DBR, it trades extended temperature coverage for cost optimization in commercial-grade 0°C to 85°C applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM339ADBR?
The LM339ADBR has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 38 V, with recommended operating range from 2 V to 36 V. This allows direct use in 24 V industrial systems and 36 V battery-powered tools without derating or external regulation. The 38 V rating provides 2 V margin above the 36 V upper limit, supporting transient surge resilience in unregulated supplies.
Does LM339ADBR support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, LM339ADBR supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range from ground (V–) up to VCC – 2 V. Either input can go to VCC without damage, and proper output state is maintained as long as at least one input stays within the valid common-mode window. This eliminates need for input clamping diodes in most single-supply configurations.
What is the typical input offset voltage of LM339ADBR and how does it vary with temperature?
The LM339ADBR has a typical input offset voltage of ±0.37 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of ±5.5 mV over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This tight offset enables accurate threshold detection in precision power monitoring, especially when paired with stable reference voltages and low-drift resistor networks.
Can LM339ADBR outputs drive CMOS logic directly?
LM339ADBR outputs are open-collector and require external pull-up resistors to interface with CMOS logic. With a properly sized pull-up (e.g., 10 kΩ to 3.3 V), the output achieves VOL ≤ 400 mV at 4 mA sink, satisfying standard 3.3 V CMOS VIH/VIL thresholds. No level-shifter is needed for 3.3 V or 5 V logic families.
Is LM339ADBR pin-compatible with older LM339 variants?
Yes, LM339ADBR is pin-compatible with standard LM339, LM239, and LM2901 in SOIC-14 packages. It retains identical pinout, electrical interface, and footprint, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs-provided the 36 V supply and ±5.5 mV offset specifications meet system requirements.
