Product details
Overview
LM393BIDGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual precision voltage comparator in VSSOP-8 package, featuring 0.37 mV typical input offset voltage, 200 µA per comparator supply current, 1 µs propagation delay, and ±38 V differential input voltage range. It operates from 2 V to 36 V single supply and is used in server PSU overvoltage protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM393BIDGKR datasheet, LM393BIDGKR pinout, LM393BIDGKR application, or LM393BIDGKR equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset drift over temperature, open-collector output drive capability, common-mode input range extending to ground, and compatibility with TTL/MOS/CMOS logic interfaces.
Technical Context
The LM393BIDGKR implements two independent comparators with rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to ground and differential input tolerance up to ±38 V. Its internal ESD clamps provide 2 kV HBM robustness without external protection.
Quiescent current remains stable across 2–36 V supply and −40°C to +85°C ambient, enabling use in wide-input industrial power monitoring. Output stage is open-collector, requiring external pull-up for logic-level translation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual open-collector comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | SOIC-8 package; higher 1.3 µs propagation delay; ±9 mV max offset; 1 mA supply current | Less suitable for high-speed fault detection; requires larger PCB area | Preferred where cost and legacy footprint are prioritized over speed and precision |
| TLV3702IDGKR | Rail-to-rail input/output; 360 µA supply current; 350 ns propagation delay; 1.25 mV offset; 5.5 V max supply | Not compatible with >5.5 V rails; superior speed and precision but limited voltage range | Best for low-voltage, high-accuracy applications where 36 V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDGKR, the LM393BIDGKR uniquely balances 36 V operation, sub-millivolt offset, and VSSOP space savings-making it optimal for compact, wide-input industrial monitoring where legacy drop-in compatibility matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM393BIDGKR?
The LM393BIDGKR supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official datasheet (SLCS005AH, Section 5.1). This exceeds legacy LM393 variants (30 V), enabling direct use in 24 V and 36 V industrial power rails without input attenuation or regulation. Operation beyond 36 V risks permanent damage.
Does LM393BIDGKR support input voltages below ground?
No, the LM393BIDGKR does not support input voltages below ground. Per Section 5.5, the absolute minimum input voltage is –0.3 V - exceeding this causes incorrect output states and excessive input current. The common-mode range starts at GND (V–) and extends to VCC – 2 V, making it ideal for single-supply ground-referenced sensing but unsuitable for bipolar signal conditioning.
Can LM393BIDGKR outputs drive a 5 V logic input directly?
Yes, LM393BIDGKR outputs can drive a 5 V logic input when configured with an external pull-up resistor to 5 V. As an open-collector device, its output sinks current to GND and floats high when inactive. With a 5 V pull-up, the high state reaches ~5 V, satisfying TTL and CMOS logic thresholds. No level-shifting circuitry is needed for 5 V systems.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for LM393BIDGKR?
The exposed thermal pad on the LM393BIDGKR (VSSOP-8 DGK package) must be connected directly to the GND net on the PCB. Per Figure 4-2 and datasheet notes, this connection is mandatory for thermal performance and electrical stability. Failure to solder the pad to GND may cause overheating, parameter drift, or functional failure under sustained load.
How does the input offset voltage of LM393BIDGKR vary with temperature?
The LM393BIDGKR exhibits ±4 mV maximum input offset voltage across its full operating range of −40°C to +85°C, as specified in Section 5.5. At 25°C, typical offset is ±0.37 mV. Figure 5-8 shows minimal drift - less than ±0.5 mV variation from 25°C to 85°C at 5 V supply - ensuring stable threshold accuracy in temperature-varying industrial enclosures.
