Product details
Overview
LMV393IDGKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual low-voltage comparator IC with open-collector outputs, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V supply, delivering 50μA typical supply current, 150mV typical output saturation voltage, and input common-mode range extending to ground - enabling precise threshold detection in battery-powered industrial sensors and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV393IDGKRG4 datasheet, LMV393IDGKRG4 pinout, LMV393IDGKRG4 application, or LMV393IDGKRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel open-drain architecture, rail-to-rail input capability down to GND, sub-1μA input bias current, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMV393IDGKRG4 implements a PNP-input stage enabling input common-mode voltage operation from ground up to VCC–0.7V, supporting accurate sensing in single-supply systems. Its open-collector NPN output stage allows flexible logic-level translation via external pull-up resistors to voltages independent of the comparator's supply rail.
It functions strictly as a voltage comparator - not an amplifier - with propagation delays of 200ns (tPHL) and 300ns (tPLH) at 5V supply and 100mV overdrive, and maintains stable performance across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 50μA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Input Offset Voltage (Typ) | 7mV - defines minimum detectable differential voltage between IN+ and IN− |
| Input Bias Current (Typ) | 0.005nA - minimizes loading error on high-impedance sensor sources like thermistors or photodiodes |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 150mV at 1.5mA sink - ensures reliable low-state logic recognition with standard CMOS inputs |
| Propagation Delay (100mV OD) | 200ns (tPHL), 300ns (tPLH) at 5V - suitable for response-critical functions such as overvoltage latch or motor stall detection |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.1V to VCC–0.7V - permits direct connection of ground-referenced signals without offset networks |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00mm × 4.40mm body, 0.65mm pitch, surface-mount, moisture-sensitive level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Open-collector output of comparator A - requires external pull-up to define logic-high voltage |
| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input of comparator A - accepts signals down to ground reference |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of comparator A - used for threshold or reference comparison |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be low-impedance and decoupled near device |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - requires 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of comparator B - electrically isolated from channel A |
| 7 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of comparator B - supports independent dual-threshold configuration |
| 8 | OUT B | Open-collector output of comparator B - independently configurable with separate pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV393DR | SOIC-8 package (3.91mm × 4.90mm); 168°C/W θJA vs 216°C/W for DGK; identical electrical specs | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOIC footprints; less suited for high-density automated assembly | Select when board layout accommodates larger footprint or requires manual reworkability |
| TLV3702IDGKR | Lower input offset (1.5mV typ), higher supply current (85μA), rail-to-rail input (beyond ground), same VSSOP-8 package | Better accuracy for precision thresholding (e.g., medical sensor alarms); higher power consumption limits battery lifetime | Select when <2mV offset is mandatory and 35μA extra supply current is acceptable |
Compared with LMV393DR and TLV3702IDGKR, the LMV393IDGKRG4 offers optimal balance of ultra-low power, ground-sensing capability, and compact VSSOP packaging - making it ideal for space- and energy-constrained embedded systems where cost and thermal performance are prioritized over sub-millivolt accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMV393IDGKRG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV393IDGKRG4 is 5.5V. Operation beyond this value risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V, ensuring full specification compliance including input common-mode range, propagation delay, and output saturation voltage across –40°C to +125°C ambient conditions. Always observe derating guidelines for long-term reliability in high-temperature environments.
Does LMV393IDGKRG4 support rail-to-rail input operation?
LMV393IDGKRG4 does not support true rail-to-rail input - its input common-mode voltage range extends from –0.1V to VCC–0.7V. This means it accepts signals down to ground (enabling direct connection to 0V-referenced sources) but cannot reliably sense voltages within ~700mV of VCC. For applications requiring full VCC-referenced inputs, consider alternatives like TLV3702IDGKR, which specifies rail-to-rail input capability.
Can LMV393IDGKRG4 drive a 5V logic input directly?
Yes, LMV393IDGKRG4 can drive a 5V logic input directly using its open-collector output: connect an external pull-up resistor from OUTx to the 5V logic rail. The output transistor sinks current when active, pulling the node low; when inactive, the pull-up defines the high state. Ensure the pull-up resistor value (e.g., 10kΩ) limits sink current below 23mA (at 2.7V) or 84mA (at 5V) to maintain 150mV saturation voltage and avoid excessive VOL.
What is the input bias current specification for LMV393IDGKRG4 at 25°C?
The input bias current for LMV393IDGKRG4 is specified as 0.005nA (5pA) typical at 25°C, with a maximum of 250nA. This ultra-low value minimizes loading errors on high-impedance sources such as thermistors, photodiodes, or RC timing networks. At –40°C to +125°C, bias current increases to a max of 400nA - still sufficiently low for most precision sensing applications without requiring guard traces or active guarding.
Is LMV393IDGKRG4 pin-compatible with standard LM393 devices?
No, LMV393IDGKRG4 is not pin-compatible with the legacy LM393. While both are dual comparators with open-collector outputs, LM393 uses an SOIC-8 footprint with different pin assignments (e.g., LM393 places GND at Pin 4 and VCC at Pin 8). LMV393IDGKRG4 follows the modern VSSOP-8 (DGK) pinout: GND at Pin 4, VCC at Pin 5. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign or adapter board; however, electrical behavior and functional interface remain consistent across the LMV393/LM393 families.
