Product details
Overview
LM339PWRE4 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, 200 µA per comparator quiescent current, 1 µs propagation delay, and rail-to-rail common-mode input range including ground-used in server PSU overvoltage detection, motor drive fault monitoring, and industrial sensor thresholding.
For engineers reviewing the LM339PWRE4 datasheet, LM339PWRE4 pinout, LM339PWRE4 application, or LM339PWRE4 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 LM339PWRE4 implements four independent open-collector comparators with internal ESD clamps enabling 2 kV HBM robustness. Its input stage supports differential voltages up to ±38 V and common-mode inputs down to ground, while output stages sink up to 21 mA with 400 mV low-level saturation at 4 mA load.
Designed for wide-voltage industrial sensing, it operates from –40°C to +85°C with supply current independent of voltage (0.8–1.2 mA total), and features guaranteed performance across 5 V to 36 V supply rails without external biasing.
Key Specifications

| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±5.5 mV over temperature - ensures reliable threshold detection within ±6 mV window across full operating range |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs (typ) - enables fast response to transient overvoltage/undervoltage events in power supplies and motor controls |
| Input Bias Current (max) | 25 nA - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor sources such as thermistors or photodiodes |
| Output Sink Current | 21 mA - drives standard LED indicators, optocouplers, or logic-level MOSFET gates directly |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for use in factory automation, building control, and outdoor power equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Same SOIC-14 package and B-version specs, but rated for commercial temperature range only (0°C to 70°C); lower ESD margin (not specified as 2 kV HBM in datasheet) | Not suitable for industrial environments requiring –40°C startup or sustained 85°C operation | Select LM339PWRE4 when extended temperature compliance and guaranteed 2 kV HBM are required. |
| LM2901PWR | Identical electrical specs and SOIC-14 footprint, but rated for –40°C to +125°C; higher max supply current (1.6 mA at 36 V, 125°C) | Better suited for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial enclosures where junction temperatures exceed 85°C | Choose LM2901PWR only if ambient exceeds 85°C; otherwise LM339PWRE4 offers optimal cost/performance balance. |
Compared with LM339DR and LM2901PWR, the LM339PWRE4 provides the best combination of industrial temperature range, proven 2 kV ESD resilience, and consistent 1 µs response across voltage and temperature-making it ideal for server, factory, and appliance applications where reliability trumps marginal spec improvements.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM339PWRE4?
The LM339PWRE4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 38 V, with recommended operating range from 2 V to 36 V. This allows direct interfacing with unregulated 24 V and 36 V industrial rails while surviving short transients up to 38 V without damage-verified per Section 6.1 of SLCS006Z.
Does LM339PWRE4 support ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, the LM339PWRE4 supports common-mode input voltages down to ground (V–), enabling direct connection to 0 V–referenced sensors like current-shunt amplifiers or thermistor dividers. Its input stage remains functional even when one input is at GND and the other reaches VCC-confirmed in Section 6.7 and Figure 5-1.
What is the typical propagation delay of LM339PWRE4?
The LM339PWRE4 exhibits a typical propagation delay of 1 µs under standard test conditions (VS = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, RL = 5.1 kΩ, 100 mV input step). This value holds across the full 2 V–36 V supply range and –40°C to +85°C temperature range, as documented in Section 6.13 of the datasheet.
Can LM339PWRE4 outputs drive TTL logic directly?
Yes, LM339PWRE4 outputs are open-collector and fully compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic families. When pulled up to 5 V, they sink ≥6 mA at VOL ≤ 400 mV (4 mA load), satisfying TTL input LOW requirements. Pull-up selection is flexible-3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V rails均可 used per design needs.
Is LM339PWRE4 pin-compatible with older LM339 variants?
Yes, LM339PWRE4 uses the standard 14-pin SOIC (PW) footprint and identical pinout as LM339, LM2901, and LM339B variants. It is a drop-in replacement per TI's documentation, requiring no PCB changes-provided the design respects its improved specs (e.g., 2 kV HBM, wider temp range, lower offset).
