Product details
Overview
LM393BIDR from Texas Instruments is a dual precision voltage comparator IC designed for single-supply operation across 2 V to 36 V. It delivers ±0.37 mV input offset voltage, 1 µs propagation delay, 200 µA per comparator supply current, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in an SOIC-8 package. It serves as a high-reliability signal-level decision element in power supply monitoring and motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the LM393BIDR datasheet, LM393BIDR pinout, LM393BIDR application, or LM393BIDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36 V absolute max supply rating, rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to ground, open-collector TTL/CMOS/MOS-compatible outputs, low 3.5 nA input bias current, and drop-in compatibility with legacy LM393/LM2903 designs.
Technical Context
The LM393BIDR implements two independent comparators with dedicated ESD clamps enabling 2 kV HBM robustness. Its input stage supports differential voltages up to ±38 V and common-mode inputs extending to VCC – 2 V while allowing one input to reach full VCC without damage or malfunction.
Quiescent current remains stable across supply voltage (2–36 V) and temperature (–40°C to +85°C), and output saturation voltage stays below 400 mV at 4 mA sink load - critical for interfacing with logic families requiring clean low-state definition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V - enables direct use in 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±4 mV over temperature - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision voltage monitoring applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 1 µs typical - supports fast response in overvoltage protection and PWM timing circuits. |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 3.5 nA - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Output Type | Open-collector - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up to any logic rail (TTL/CMOS/MOS). |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional external protection. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended ambient conditions in factory automation and server PSU environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM393BIDR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads for surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Comparator 1 output | Open-collector output requiring external pull-up; sinks current when comparator 1 output is active low. |
| 1IN− | Comparator 1 inverting input | Negative reference input node; accepts signals within common-mode range (GND to VCC − 2 V). |
| 1IN+ | Comparator 1 non-inverting input | Positive signal input; supports same common-mode range as 1IN−, and may go up to VCC. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return path for both comparators and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance. |
| VCC | Positive supply | Single power rail connection; supports up to 36 V DC with no reverse polarity protection required. |
| 2IN+ | Comparator 2 non-inverting input | Independent positive input for second comparator; electrically isolated from first comparator's inputs. |
| 2IN− | Comparator 2 inverting input | Independent negative input for second comparator; shares same voltage range and ruggedness as 1IN−. |
| 2OUT | Comparator 2 output | Second open-collector output; functionally identical to 1OUT and independently controllable. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher max input offset (±9 mV), 30 V max supply, no enhanced ESD clamps (2 kV HBM retained but less input ruggedness) | Limited to lower-voltage (<30 V), less demanding ESD environments; not rated for 36 V operation | Select LM393DR only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for 36 V headroom and improved input robustness. |
| LM2903BIDR | Identical electrical specs except extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and higher output sink current (25 mA vs. 21 mA) | Suitable for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial enclosures where ambient exceeds 85°C | Choose LM2903BIDR when operation beyond +85°C is required; otherwise LM393BIDR offers optimal cost/performance for commercial/industrial use. |
Compared with LM393DR and LM2903BIDR, the LM393BIDR provides the best balance of 36 V operation, ±0.37 mV offset, and industrial-grade ESD protection - making it ideal for server PSUs, UPS systems, and factory automation where reliability and voltage margin are critical.

Does LM393BIDR support ground-referenced input signals?
Yes, LM393BIDR supports common-mode input voltages down to GND (0 V). Its input stage allows either or both inputs to reach the negative rail, making it suitable for detecting zero-crossing, current-sense amplifier outputs, or other ground-referenced analog signals without level-shifting circuitry.
Can LM393BIDR replace LM393DR on an existing PCB?
Yes, LM393BIDR is a drop-in replacement for LM393DR in SOIC-8 packages. Pinout, footprint, and basic functionality are identical. Upgrading requires no layout changes, though designers should verify that the higher 36 V supply rating and improved 2 kV ESD clamps align with system-level stress requirements.
What is the typical input bias current of LM393BIDR?
The typical input bias current of LM393BIDR is 3.5 nA at 25°C, with a maximum of 25 nA over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This ultra-low bias minimizes loading errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces such as thermistor networks or photodiode transimpedance stages.
Is LM393BIDR compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families?
Yes, LM393BIDR features open-collector outputs compatible with TTL, CMOS, and MOS logic families. When used with an appropriate pull-up resistor (e.g., 4.7 kΩ to 5 V), it delivers clean logic-level transitions and can directly drive inputs of microcontrollers, FPGAs, or discrete logic gates without additional buffering.
