Product details
Overview
LM339BIRTER from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator IC designed for precision voltage comparison in single-supply industrial and power management systems. It delivers ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 1 µs propagation delay, 2–36 V supply range, 2 kV HBM ESD rating, and operates across –40°C to +85°C - enabling reliable overvoltage detection in server PSUs and motor drive protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM339BIRTER datasheet, LM339BIRTER pinout, LM339BIRTER application, or LM339BIRTER equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, package-confirmed pin functions, temperature-rated performance data, and drop-in alternative options validated for industrial-grade comparator replacement.
Technical Context
The LM339BIRTER implements four independent open-collector comparators with rail-to-rail input common-mode range (down to ground) and differential input capability up to ±38 V. Its architecture supports direct interface with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic via pull-up outputs while maintaining low quiescent current (1.2 mA max at 36 V).
It features dedicated internal ESD clamps, improved input ruggedness versus legacy LM339 variants, and guaranteed operation under extended thermal stress (up to 150°C junction temperature), making it suitable for high-reliability feedback loops in power conversion and factory automation control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad differential comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2901BIDR | Identical electrical specs but rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient; same TSSOP-14 package | Required for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial enclosures exceeding 85°C | Select LM2901BIDR when extended temperature operation is mandatory; otherwise LM339BIRTER suffices for standard industrial use. |
| LM339DR | Legacy A-version: higher 4 mV max offset, slower 1.3 µs response, 30 V max supply, no 2 kV HBM rating | Suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical designs with relaxed accuracy and speed requirements | Choose LM339DR only if existing BOM uses it and thermal/ESD margins are not design constraints. |
Compared with LM2901BIDR and LM339DR, the LM339BIRTER offers optimal balance of precision (±0.37 mV offset), speed (1 µs), and ruggedness (36 V/2 kV) for new industrial designs - while maintaining full pin compatibility with both alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LM339BIRTER?
The LM339BIRTER has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 38 V, with recommended operating range from 2 V to 36 V. This allows direct integration into 24 V and 36 V industrial power systems without input attenuation or regulation - a key advantage over legacy LM339 variants limited to 30 V.
Does the LM339BIRTER support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the LM339BIRTER supports rail-to-rail common-mode input voltage operation from GND to VCC − 2 V. Either input can extend up to the full VCC level without damage, and the differential input range is rated to ±38 V - enabling direct connection to unbuffered sensors and high-side voltage monitors.
What is the typical input offset voltage of the LM339BIRTER and how does it vary with temperature?
The LM339BIRTER has a typical input offset voltage of ±0.37 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of ±5.5 mV across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This tight offset specification ensures consistent threshold accuracy in temperature-varying environments such as factory automation and server rack deployments.
Can the LM339BIRTER replace older LM339 variants without board modifications?
Yes, the LM339BIRTER is a documented drop-in replacement for LM339, LM239, and LM2901 in TSSOP-14, SOIC-14, and PDIP-14 packages. Pinout, footprint, and electrical interface are identical - allowing seamless upgrade to improved offset, speed, ESD, and supply voltage capability without layout changes.
What output configuration does the LM339BIRTER use and what pull-up voltage is supported?
The LM339BIRTER uses open-collector outputs compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic families. External pull-up resistors can be connected to any voltage rail from 3.3 V to 36 V, enabling flexible level translation - for example, driving 5 V microcontroller inputs from a 24 V supply domain using the LM339BIRTER's output stage.
