Product details
Overview
LM393LVQDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a dual, automotive-grade, rail-to-rail input voltage comparator with open-drain outputs, operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 400 µV typical input offset voltage, 600 ns typical propagation delay, 25 µA per channel quiescent current, and full –40°C to +125°C operation-used in server PSU overvoltage detection and motor drive current sensing.
For engineers reviewing the LM393LVQDGKRQ1 datasheet, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 pinout, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 application, or LM393LVQDGKRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, rail-to-rail input with failsafe, Power-On-Reset (POR) for glitch-free startup, low input bias current (5 pA), and compatibility with 1.8 V/3.3 V/5 V systems.
Technical Context
The LM393LVQDGKRQ1 implements a precision comparator core with internal Power-On-Reset circuitry that forces output into high-impedance state until supply reaches minimum operating voltage, preventing transients during power-up/down. Its rail-to-rail input stage operates up to 6 V without damage or phase inversion, supporting wide common-mode range across all supply voltages.
Each comparator features an open-drain output capable of sinking up to 100 mA (typical), with 150–200 mV voltage swing at 4 mA load (25°C) and ≤300 mV at full temperature range. Input bias current remains stable at 5 pA (typical) across –40°C to +125°C, enabling high-impedance sensing in battery-powered automotive subsystems.

Pinout & Package
LM393LVQDGKRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with exposed thermal pad. The package supports high-density PCB layouts and enhanced thermal performance via direct GND connection of the thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| IN1– (Pin 2) | Comparator 1 inverting input | Rail-to-rail capable input; accepts signals from GND to V+ without damage or inversion |
| IN1+ (Pin 3) | Comparator 1 noninverting input | Same rail-to-rail range as IN1–; used for reference or signal comparison |
| GND (Pin 4) | Negative supply reference | Common return path for both comparators and thermal pad connection point |
| IN2+ (Pin 5) | Comparator 2 noninverting input | Independent input channel; enables dual-threshold or window-comparator configurations |
| IN2– (Pin 6) | Comparator 2 inverting input | Matches IN1– electrical behavior; supports differential or single-ended sensing |
| OUT2 (Pin 7) | Comparator 2 output | Functionally identical to OUT1; allows independent control of two system functions |
| V+ (Pin 8) | Positive supply | Single-supply input powering both comparators; no split-rail requirement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-On-Reset (POR) | Guarantees high-Z output state until V+ reaches valid operating level, eliminating spurious switching at power-up |
| Rail-to-Rail Input with Failsafe | Accepts inputs from GND to 6 V regardless of supply; prevents latch-up or phase reversal during overvoltage events |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified (Grade 1) | Validated for automotive use with –40°C to +125°C operation, HBM ESD Level 2, and CDM Level C5 |
| Low Input Offset Drift | ±1.5 µV/°C - maintains threshold accuracy across temperature gradients in engine control units |
| Open-Drain Output Architecture | Enables wired-OR logic, level translation between different voltage domains, and flexible pull-up configuration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393QPWRQ1 | Higher input offset (±7 mV typ), no POR, wider supply (2.0–36 V), no rail-to-rail input | Suitable for high-voltage industrial sensing but lacks failsafe startup and precision at low voltage | Select LM393LVQDGKRQ1 when operating below 5 V or requiring guaranteed glitch-free power sequencing |
| TL393LVQDRQ1 | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in SOIC-8 packaging (D) vs. VSSOP-8 (DGK) | Same functional replacement; SOIC offers easier hand-soldering and higher creepage | Choose TL393LVQDRQ1 if board space allows larger footprint or manual assembly is required |
Compared with LM393QPWRQ1 and TL393LVQDRQ1, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, POR, rail-to-rail input, and ultra-low quiescent current in a space-constrained VSSOP package-making it optimal for next-generation automotive power management where reliability, precision, and density are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage allowed on the IN+ and IN– pins of LM393LVQDGKRQ1?
The LM393LVQDGKRQ1 supports input voltages from –0.3 V to 6 V relative to GND, independent of supply voltage. This rail-to-rail input with overvoltage tolerance allows safe operation even when inputs exceed V+, such as during transient conditions in automotive battery monitoring or hot-swap applications-ensuring no phase inversion or damage occurs.
Does LM393LVQDGKRQ1 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 features open-drain outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) and requires external pull-up resistors to define logic-high voltage levels. Typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on speed and load requirements. Pull-up to any voltage ≤6 V is permitted, enabling level-shifting between different supply domains without additional logic.
How does the Power-On-Reset (POR) function affect system startup behavior of LM393LVQDGKRQ1?
The POR circuit in LM393LVQDGKRQ1 holds both outputs in high-impedance state until V+ rises above ~1.5 V, then releases outputs after ~50 µs. This eliminates false triggering during brown-out or slow-ramp power-up sequences-critical for automotive modules where uncontrolled relay activation or fan spin-up must be avoided before system stabilization.
Can LM393LVQDGKRQ1 operate reliably at 1.8 V supply voltage?
Yes, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 is fully specified from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, including electrical parameters at 1.8 V. At this voltage, it maintains 400 µV typical offset, 600 ns propagation delay, and 25 µA per channel quiescent current-making it ideal for modern low-power automotive microcontrollers and sensor interfaces powered directly from 1.8 V LDOs.
Is LM393LVQDGKRQ1 pin-compatible with standard LM393-Q1 comparators?
No, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 is not pin-compatible with legacy LM393-Q1. While both are dual comparators in 8-pin packages, LM393LVQDGKRQ1 uses VSSOP (DGK) with pin 1 = OUT1, pin 2 = IN1–, pin 3 = IN1+, pin 4 = GND, pin 5 = IN2+, pin 6 = IN2–, pin 7 = OUT2, pin 8 = V+. Standard LM393-Q1 (SOIC-8) uses different pin assignments-including IN1– on pin 2 and IN1+ on pin 3-but swaps IN2+ and IN2– positions. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
