Product details
Overview
LM339NSR 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 response time. It operates from 2V to 36V supply and supports industrial applications including motor drive feedback and power supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LM339NSR datasheet, LM339NSR pinout, LM339NSR application, or LM339NSR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package details, real-world use cases in server PSUs and factory automation, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LM339NSR implements four independent open-collector comparators with rail-to-rail input capability - common-mode range extends to ground and up to VCC − 2V. Its internal architecture includes dedicated ESD clamps enabling 2kV HBM robustness and input ruggedness beyond legacy versions.
It supports TTL/MOS/CMOS-compatible outputs via external pull-up, delivers 21mA sink current per output, and maintains stable quiescent current (1.2mA typ at 5V) across 2V–36V supply and −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 36V - enables direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 24V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±5.5mV over temp - ensures reliable detection of small voltage differentials in sensor interface circuits. |
| Response Time | 1µs - supports fast overvoltage/undervoltage protection in switching power supplies and motor control loops. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5nA - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Output Sink Current | 21mA - drives LEDs, relays, or logic inputs directly without external buffers. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2kV - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level handling robustness. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and factory automation environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM339NSR is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC (NS) package measuring 8.70mm × 3.90mm, with standard gull-wing leads and surface-mount compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1) | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector output requiring external pull-up; sinks up to 21mA for direct logic interfacing. |
| 2 (IN2–) | Comparator 2 inverting input | Accepts signals down to ground; supports rail-to-rail common-mode operation when paired with IN2+. |
| 3 (IN2+) | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Used with IN2– to form differential pair; both inputs tolerate voltages up to VCC. |
| 4 (IN1–) | Comparator 1 inverting input | Matches IN2– function; enables dual-threshold or window comparator configurations. |
| 5 (IN1+) | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Paired with IN1–; allows reference-based triggering (e.g., battery low-voltage detection). |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single supply input; powers all four comparators; accepts 2V–36V with no reverse polarity protection. |
| 7 (OUT2) | Comparator 2 output | Electrically identical to OUT1; supports independent load driving per channel. |
| 8 (IN3–) | Comparator 3 inverting input | Third comparator input pair; used in multi-zone thermal monitoring or redundant sensing. |
| 9 (IN3+) | Comparator 3 non-inverting input | Enables simultaneous evaluation of three independent thresholds (e.g., fan speed control bands). |
| 10 (IN4–) | Comparator 4 inverting input | Fourth channel input; supports fail-safe shutdown logic with independent hysteresis design. |
| 11 (IN4+) | Comparator 4 non-inverting input | Completes quad configuration; allows full-system status aggregation (e.g., PSU OK, Overtemp, OV, UV). |
| 12 (GND) | Negative supply / reference | System ground return; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs. |
| 13 (OUT4) | Comparator 4 output | Final open-collector output; compatible with 3.3V/5V logic families via appropriate pull-up resistor. |
| 14 (OUT3) | Comparator 3 output | Provides fourth independent decision node; enables compact fault-tree logic without additional ICs. |
Key Features

| Motor Drive Overcurrent Protection | Cordless Power Tool Battery Management |
Use Scenario: Detecting excessive current via shunt voltage in BLDC motor inverters before MOSFET damage occurs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator channel triggers gate driver disable upon shunt voltage exceeding safe limit; others monitor DC bus voltage and temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad differential comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2901BDR | Same B-version spec, but rated for −40°C to +125°C ambient; 1.6mA max IQ at 36V. | Required for automotive under-hood or extended-temperature industrial control cabinets. | Select LM2901BDR when junction temperature exceeds 85°C or AEC-Q100 compliance is needed. |
| LM339DR | Legacy A-version; ±9mV max offset, 1.3µs response, 2mA max IQ, 30V max supply. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where 5.5mV offset and 36V operation are not required. | Choose LM339DR only if existing designs already use it and no performance upgrade is needed. |
Compared with LM339DR, LM339NSR offers 40% faster response, half the input offset, and 6V higher supply tolerance - critical for next-gen server PSUs and high-reliability motor drives; LM2901BDR adds extended temperature margin at identical performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM339NSR?
The LM339NSR supports an absolute maximum supply voltage of 38V between VCC and GND, with recommended operation from 2V to 36V. This 36V upper limit enables direct use in 24V industrial buses and 36V solar charge controllers without regulation - confirmed in Section 6.1 of the TI datasheet SLCS006Z.
Does LM339NSR require dual supplies or can it operate from a single rail?
LM339NSR is designed exclusively for single-supply operation. Its inputs include ground in the common-mode range, and outputs are open-collector - allowing pull-up to any compatible logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) independent of VCC. No negative supply is needed or supported.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM339NSR over temperature?
The LM339NSR has a maximum input offset voltage of ±5.5mV across its full operating range of −40°C to +85°C, with a typical value of ±0.37mV at 25°C. This is specified in Table 6-7 (Electrical Characteristics for LM339B) of the official TI datasheet.
Can LM339NSR drive a 5V TTL input directly?
Yes - LM339NSR outputs are open-collector and fully compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic. When pulled up to 5V with a resistor (e.g., 4.7kΩ), it sinks up to 21mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 400mV at 4mA load, satisfying TTL low-level input requirements per Section 6.7 of the datasheet.
Is LM339NSR pin-compatible with older LM339 variants?
Yes - LM339NSR uses the industry-standard SOIC-14 (NS) package with identical pinout to LM339, LM2901, and LM339A. It is a drop-in replacement per TI's documentation, requiring no PCB or schematic changes when upgrading from legacy versions.
