Product details
Overview
LM339DBRE4 from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator IC designed for precision voltage comparison in single-supply systems. It features ±0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 1 µs propagation delay, 2–36 V supply range, 2 kV HBM ESD rating, and rail-to-rail common-mode input range including ground - enabling use in motor drive overvoltage detection and server PSU fault monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LM339DBRE4 datasheet, LM339DBRE4 pinout, LM339DBRE4 application, or LM339DBRE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-14 package details, real-world application context, and validated alternative options for industrial power control, automation sensing, and embedded threshold-detection designs.
Technical Context
The LM339DBRE4 implements four independent open-collector comparators with internal ESD clamps, supporting operation from 2 V to 36 V with quiescent current independent of supply voltage. Its input stage allows one input to reach up to VCC while the other remains within (V–) to (V+) – 2 V, enabling robust high-side sensing.
Each comparator delivers TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible output sinking up to 21 mA, with low 110–400 mV saturation voltage at 4 mA load and ±5.5 mV max offset over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meeting requirements for precision window comparators and analog-to-digital interface circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - supports wide-input industrial supplies without external regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±5.5 mV over –40°C to +85°C - enables accurate 10 mV-level threshold detection |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs (typ) at 5 V - suitable for <1 MHz window-comparator timing loops |
| Input Bias Current (max) | 25 nA over temperature - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Output Sink Current | 21 mA per channel - drives LEDs, relays, or logic inputs directly without buffer |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level robustness |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground and extends to VCC – 2 V - allows direct connection to grounded sensors |
Pinout & Package
LM339DBRE4 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D package) with nominal body size 8.70 mm × 3.90 mm and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.

| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 1 - supports common-mode range up to VCC – 2 V |
| 6 | IN1– | Inverting input of comparator 2 - electrically identical to IN2–; channel naming follows TI convention |
| 7 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 2 - matches IN2+ electrical behavior and voltage limits |
| 8 | IN3– | Inverting input of comparator 3 - fully independent; no crosstalk with channels 1 or 2 |
| 9 | IN3+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 3 - supports same input voltage range and bias current specs |
| 10 | IN4– | Inverting input of comparator 4 - usable across full supply range with no phase reversal |
| 11 | IN4+ | Non-inverting input of comparator 4 - enables simultaneous four-threshold monitoring |
| 12 | GND | Negative supply/reference - all inputs and outputs referenced to this node; must be low-impedance |
| 13 | OUT4 | Open-collector output of comparator 4 - sinks up to 21 mA; compatible with 3.3 V or 5 V logic |
| 14 | OUT3 | Open-collector output of comparator 3 - functionally identical to OUT1 and OUT2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad differential comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Legacy A-version; ±4 mV max offset, 1.3 µs response, 30 V max supply, –40°C to +85°C range | Limited to lower-voltage systems; less precise thresholding in wide-temp environments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs performance needs and legacy design reuse is required |
| LM2901BDR | Same B-version spec as LM339DBRE4 but rated for –40°C to +125°C operating range | Better suited for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial enclosures | Choose for extended temperature applications where LM339DBRE4's 85°C upper limit is insufficient |
Compared with LM339DR, LM339DBRE4 offers tighter offset, faster response, and higher supply rating; compared with LM2901BDR, it trades 125°C operation for lower cost and identical performance below 85°C - making it optimal for commercial-grade power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM339DBRE4?
The LM339DBRE4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 38 V, with recommended operation from 2 V to 36 V. This allows direct use with 24 V industrial rails and 36 V battery systems without external regulation, while maintaining specified performance across the full range.
Does LM339DBRE4 support ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, LM339DBRE4 supports common-mode input voltages that include ground (0 V), with a range extending from V– to V+ – 2 V. This enables direct interfacing with grounded sensors, shunt resistors, and thermistor networks without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the output configuration of LM339DBRE4?
LM339DBRE4 features four independent open-collector outputs. Each output requires an external pull-up resistor to a logic-compatible voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) and can sink up to 21 mA, allowing direct drive of LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic inputs.
Is LM339DBRE4 pin-compatible with older LM339 variants?
Yes, LM339DBRE4 uses the standard 14-pin SOIC (D) package and is a drop-in replacement for LM339, LM239, and LM2901 in SOIC-14 format. Pin functions, spacing, and thermal characteristics match legacy versions, enabling seamless design upgrades.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM339DBRE4 over temperature?
LM339DBRE4 has a maximum input offset voltage of ±5.5 mV over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, with a typical value of ±0.37 mV at 25°C. This tight offset enables reliable detection of small differential signals in precision threshold applications.
