Product details
Overview
LM339DBR from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator IC designed for precision voltage comparison in single-supply systems. It features ±38V differential input range, 0.37mV typical input offset voltage, 200µA per comparator supply current, and 1µs propagation delay. It operates from 2V to 36V supply and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), commonly used in server PSU monitoring and motor drive fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the LM339DBR datasheet, LM339DBR pinout, LM339DBR application, or LM339DBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-collector output compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS logic, ground-sensing common-mode input range, and drop-in replacement capability for legacy LM339/LM239 designs without layout changes.
Technical Context
The LM339DBR implements four independent high-gain comparators with rail-to-rail input capability down to ground and up to VCC – 2V. Its internal architecture includes dedicated ESD clamps enabling 2kV HBM robustness and input ruggedness beyond standard B-version predecessors.
It uses an open-collector output stage requiring external pull-up resistors, supporting flexible logic-level interfacing across 3.3V, 5V, and 12V domains. Quiescent current remains stable across 2V–36V supply and full temperature range, enabling reliable operation in wide-input industrial power supplies.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 36V - Enables direct use in 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 24V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37mV - Supports precise threshold detection in battery management and sensor signal conditioning. |
| Propagation Delay | 1µs - Allows fast response in overvoltage/overcurrent protection circuits with sub-millisecond reaction. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5nA - Minimizes loading on high-impedance sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Differential Input Range | ±38V - Permits direct comparison of signals referenced to different potentials, e.g., phase-to-phase voltages. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2kV - Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level robustness in factory automation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for deployment in server PSUs and outdoor telecom infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
LM339DBR is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (DB) package measuring 8.70mm × 3.90mm, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MS-012 outline. The package supports automated optical inspection and reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1) | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector output requiring external pull-up; sinks up to 21mA at 1.5V saturation. |
| 2 (OUT2) | Comparator 2 output | Independent open-collector output; electrically isolated from OUT1 for multi-threshold logic. |
| 3 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts 2V–36V; powers all four comparators with <1.6mA total quiescent current at 36V. |
| 4 (IN2–) | Comparator 1 inverting input | Supports common-mode voltage down to ground and up to VCC – 2V; no damage at VCC. |
| 5 (IN2+) | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Same common-mode range as IN2–; enables ground-referenced or high-side sensing configurations. |
| 6 (IN1–) | Comparator 2 inverting input | Electrically identical to IN2–; allows dual-channel differential pair implementation. |
| 7 (IN1+) | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Paired with IN1– for second independent comparison; shares same input bias and offset specs. |
| 8 (IN3–) | Comparator 3 inverting input | Third independent input pair; maintains 3.5nA bias current and 0.37mV offset across temperature. |
| 9 (IN3+) | Comparator 3 non-inverting input | Enables three-level window detection or sequential state monitoring in motor control feedback loops. |
| 10 (IN4–) | Comparator 4 inverting input | Fourth channel supports redundant safety checking or multi-zone thermal monitoring. |
| 11 (IN4+) | Comparator 4 non-inverting input | Completes quad configuration; all inputs tolerate ±38V differential stress without latch-up. |
| 12 (GND) | Negative supply reference | Return path for all comparators and internal ESD clamps; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 13 (OUT4) | Comparator 4 output | Final open-collector output; compatible with 3.3V microcontroller GPIO interrupt inputs via 10kΩ pull-up. |
| 14 (OUT3) | Comparator 3 output | Provides fourth independent logic-level signal for status indication or cascaded logic functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Drop-in replacement for LM339/LM239 | Pin-compatible with legacy SOIC-14 footprints; no PCB redesign required for upgrade paths. |
| Ground-sensing input range | Common-mode voltage includes 0V, enabling direct interface with sensors and ADC references tied to system ground. |
| Low 200µA/comparator supply current | Reduces total quiescent draw to <1mA at 5V, critical for always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive appliances. |
| 2kV HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for external TVS diodes in assembly-line handling and field-deployed equipment. |
| 1µs propagation delay | Enables real-time overvoltage cutoff before downstream MOSFETs experience avalanche stress. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2901BDR | Same electrical specs but rated for –40°C to +125°C operating range; identical SOIC-14 package. | Required for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial environments exceeding 85°C ambient. | Select LM2901BDR when extended temperature qualification is mandatory; otherwise LM339DBR suffices for commercial/industrial use. |
| TLV331IDBVR | Single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output, 65µA supply current, 150ns propagation delay; SOT-23-5 package. | Used where space-constrained designs require discrete comparator channels with lower power and faster response. | Choose TLV331IDBVR only for new compact designs needing ultra-low power; not a drop-in replacement for LM339DBR. |
Compared with LM2901BDR, LM339DBR offers identical performance at lower cost for 85°C-max applications; compared with TLV331IDBVR, it provides integrated quad functionality and higher input voltage tolerance but consumes more power and occupies larger board area.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM339DBR?
The LM339DBR supports an absolute maximum supply voltage of 38V between VCC and GND, with recommended operation from 2V to 36V. This 36V upper limit ensures safe continuous operation in 24V industrial systems and 32V telecom applications while preserving long-term reliability and parametric stability across temperature.
Does LM339DBR support ground-referenced input signals?
Yes, LM339DBR supports common-mode input voltages that include ground (0V), allowing direct connection of sensors or signal sources referenced to system ground. Its input stage operates correctly even when one input is at GND and the other reaches VCC – 2V, enabling true single-supply design without level-shifting circuitry.
Can LM339DBR replace older LM339 variants without PCB changes?
Yes, LM339DBR is a documented drop-in replacement for LM339, LM239, and LM2901 in SOIC-14 packages. Pinout, electrical behavior, and footprint are identical; only the B-version enhancements-lower offset, faster response, and higher ESD rating-are added without altering mechanical or functional compatibility.
What output configuration does LM339DBR use and how should it be interfaced?
LM339DBR uses open-collector outputs requiring external pull-up resistors to the desired logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). Each output can sink up to 21mA at 1.5V saturation, supporting direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs, LED indicators, or logic gates without additional buffering.
Is LM339DBR suitable for automotive applications?
LM339DBR is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified as an active IC. For automotive ECUs requiring full AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C), LM2901B-Q1 is the designated qualified alternative.
