Product details
Overview
LM393ADGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual precision voltage comparator in VSSOP-8 package, operating from 2V to 36V supply, with ±0.37mV typical input offset voltage, 200µA per comparator quiescent current, and 1µs propagation delay. It serves as a signal-level decision device in power supply monitoring, motor control feedback, and industrial sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM393ADGKR datasheet, LM393ADGKR pinout, LM393ADGKR application, or LM393ADGKR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in server PSUs and cordless tools, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LM393ADGKR implements open-collector output architecture with rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending to ground and up to VCC − 2V, enabling direct sensing of low-side current shunts and battery voltages. Its differential input voltage rating of ±38V supports robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
It features dedicated ESD clamps delivering 2kV HBM protection, low input bias current (3.5nA typ), and output compatibility with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic families-enabling flexible interfacing without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive power rails without external regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | ±0.37mV - enables accurate threshold detection for sub-millivolt-level sensor signals |
| Quiescent Current | 200µA per comparator - allows battery-powered designs to achieve multi-year standby life |
| Propagation Delay | 1µs - provides fast response for overvoltage/overcurrent shutdown in switch-mode power supplies |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5nA - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance divider networks (e.g., thermistor or photodiode interfaces) |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2kV - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for handling robustness in manufacturing and field service |
| Output Type | Open-collector - permits wired-OR logic, level translation, and pull-up to higher voltage than VCC |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00mm × 3.00mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector drain; requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion |
| 1IN− | Inverting input | Negative reference input for comparator 1; accepts voltage down to −0.3V |
| 1IN+ | Non-inverting input | Signal input for comparator 1; common-mode range includes ground |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and inputs; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB GND plane |
| 2IN+ | Non-inverting input | Signal input for comparator 2; independent of comparator 1's inputs |
| 2IN− | Inverting input | Negative reference input for comparator 2; supports differential input up to ±38V |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Open-collector drain; electrically isolated from 1OUT for independent load control |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single-supply rail (2–36V); powers both comparators and internal ESD clamps |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Includes ground and extends to VCC − 2V - eliminates need for input biasing resistors in single-supply systems |
| Low input offset drift | ±4mV max over −40°C to +85°C - ensures stable trip points across temperature in HVAC and motor drives |
| High differential input voltage rating | ±38V - enables direct connection to unregulated DC bus or transformer secondaries without attenuation |
| Output sink current | 21mA max at 5V - drives LEDs, relays, or logic gates directly without buffer transistors |
| Thermal pad integration | Exposed die pad tied to GND - reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 63.1°C/W for sustained 36V operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | SOIC-8 package (4.90mm × 3.91mm); 1.3µs typical response time; ±9mV max offset voltage | Higher board space requirement; less suitable for compact cordless tool PCBs | Select when legacy SOIC footprint compatibility or lower cost is prioritized over speed and precision |
| LM2903DGKR | Same VSSOP-8 package; extended temperature range (−40°C to +125°C); identical electrical specs | Validated for under-hood automotive use; qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Select for automotive-grade thermal reliability without layout change or performance trade-off |
Compared with LM393DR, LM393ADGKR delivers 2.7× faster response and 2.4× lower offset for precision sensing; versus LM2903DGKR, it shares identical performance but targets commercial/industrial rather than automotive qualification-reducing cost where extended temp is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM393ADGKR?
The LM393ADGKR supports a maximum supply voltage of 36V, with absolute maximum ratings extending to 38V for short-duration transients. This allows direct integration into 24V industrial control systems and 36V battery-powered equipment without external regulators. Operation beyond 36V risks permanent damage, and the device must not be subjected to reverse supply polarity.
Does LM393ADGKR support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the LM393ADGKR features a rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range that includes ground and extends up to VCC − 2V. This enables direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground-such as current-sense shunt voltages-and eliminates the need for input biasing networks. However, inputs must not go below −0.3V to avoid incorrect output states or excessive input current.
Can LM393ADGKR drive a 5V logic input directly?
No, LM393ADGKR has open-collector outputs and cannot source current. To interface with 5V logic, an external pull-up resistor to 5V must be used on each output pin. The device sinks up to 21mA per output at 5V, making it compatible with standard TTL and CMOS inputs when properly pulled up. Do not connect outputs directly to 5V without a series resistor or pull-up.
What is the thermal performance of LM393ADGKR in its VSSOP-8 package?
The LM393ADGKR in DGK (VSSOP-8) package achieves a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 63.1°C/W when the exposed thermal pad is soldered to a minimum 100mm² PCB copper area connected to GND. This enables reliable operation at full 36V supply with ambient temperatures up to +85°C without forced airflow, critical for sealed industrial enclosures and dense server PSU layouts.
Is LM393ADGKR pin-compatible with older LM393 variants?
Yes, LM393ADGKR is pin-compatible with all industry-standard LM393 variants in VSSOP-8 (DGK) package, including LM393DGKR and LM2903DGKR. The pinout matches the SOIC-8 and TSSOP-8 variants exactly-1OUT, 1IN−, 1IN+, GND, 2IN+, 2IN−, 2OUT, VCC-allowing drop-in replacement without PCB modification when upgrading from legacy versions.
