Product details
Overview
LM339ADE4 from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator IC designed for single-supply operation across 2 V to 36 V, featuring ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 1 µs propagation delay, 200 µA per comparator quiescent current, and rail-to-rail common-mode input range down to ground-used in server PSU overvoltage detection, motor drive enable logic, and industrial sensor threshold monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LM339ADE4 datasheet, LM339ADE4 pinout, LM339ADE4 application, or LM339ADE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package details, real-world use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The LM339ADE4 implements four independent open-collector comparators with internal ESD clamps (2 kV HBM), enabling robust input handling up to ±38 V differential voltage and operation with inputs extending to VCC without damage. Its architecture supports TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs and maintains stable quiescent current independent of supply voltage.
Designed for wide-input-voltage industrial systems, it operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, supports common-mode input voltages from ground to (VCC – 2 V), and delivers low output saturation voltage (≤400 mV at 4 mA sink) for reliable interfacing with legacy logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - enables 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 - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision analog sensing applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs (typ) at 5 V - supports fast response in overcurrent protection and PWM feedback loops. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.8–1.2 mA total (all four comparators) - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - allows high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistors, RTDs) without significant loading error. |
| Output Sink Current | 21 mA (min) - drives standard LED indicators, relay coils, or logic-level MOSFET gates directly. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements and reduces susceptibility to assembly-line electrostatic discharge. |
Pinout & Package
LM339ADE4 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D package) with nominal body size 8.70 mm × 3.90 mm and standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint. Pin functions are electrically identical to industry-standard LM339 variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 9 (IN3+) | Comparator 3 non-inverting input | Supports cascaded or multi-threshold detection schemes in control logic. |
| 10 (IN4–) | Comparator 4 inverting input | Provides fourth decision node; used for fault redundancy or window-comparator configurations. |
| 11 (IN4+) | Comparator 4 non-inverting input | Completes quad-channel capability; all inputs share identical bias and offset characteristics. |
| 12 (GND) | Negative supply / reference | System ground return; must be connected directly for proper common-mode operation. |
| 13 (OUT4) | Comparator 4 output | Final open-collector output; electrically isolated from other outputs for independent load driving. |
| 14 (OUT3) | Comparator 3 output | Third output channel; supports parallel or sequential logic sequencing in safety-critical paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad differential comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339BDR | Same SOIC-14 package; improved specs including ±0.37 mV offset (vs. ±5.5 mV max), 2 kV HBM ESD, and extended 36 V abs max rating. | Preferred for new designs requiring tighter offset tolerance and higher reliability in harsh environments. | Select LM339BDR when upgrading legacy LM339ADE4 layouts for enhanced accuracy and ESD immunity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM339ADE4?
The LM339ADE4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 36 V. This allows direct operation from common industrial rails including 24 V DC systems without external regulation. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent device damage, and operation above 36 V is not supported under any condition per TI's SLCS006Z datasheet Section 6.1.
Does LM339ADE4 support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the LM339ADE4 supports a common-mode input voltage range from ground (V–) to (VCC – 2 V). This enables direct interfacing with 0 V–referenced sensors and allows one input to reach VCC while the other remains within valid range-ensuring correct output state without damage, as specified in Section 6.7 of the LM339B datasheet.
Can LM339ADE4 replace older LM339 variants without design changes?
Yes, LM339ADE4 is a drop-in replacement for LM339, LM239, and LM2901 in SOIC-14 packages. It maintains identical pinout, electrical behavior, and thermal profile. No PCB layout, bill-of-materials, or firmware modifications are needed-verified by TI's family comparison table and "B-version is drop-in replacement" statement in Section 1 Features.
What is the typical input offset voltage of LM339ADE4?
The LM339ADE4 exhibits a typical input offset voltage of ±0.37 mV at 25°C and 5 V supply, with a maximum of ±5.5 mV across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Section 6.7 Electrical Characteristics for LM339B and applies identically to LM339ADE4 per TI's packaging and specification alignment.
Is LM339ADE4 qualified for automotive applications?
No, LM339ADE4 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and intended for commercial and industrial equipment. For automotive use, TI recommends LM2901B-Q1 or LM339B-Q1, which undergo additional stress testing and qualification per AEC-Q100 Rev H standards.
