Product details
Overview
LMV393IDR from Texas Instruments is a dual low-voltage comparator IC designed for precision voltage comparison in space-constrained, battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws 50μA typical supply current, features rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground, and delivers 150mV typical output saturation voltage with open-collector outputs - enabling flexible logic-level interfacing in server PSU monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV393IDR datasheet, LMV393IDR pinout, LMV393IDR application, or LMV393IDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel open-drain architecture, −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and verified performance at both 2.7V and 5V supply rails.
Technical Context
The LMV393IDR implements a PNP-input stage enabling input common-mode operation down to ground (VICR = −0.1 V to VCC−0.7 V), supporting accurate sensing in single-supply 3.3V and 5V systems. Its open-collector NPN output stage sinks up to 23mA at 2.7V and 84mA at 5V, with VOL scaling linearly with sink current per Figure 5-3.
Propagation delay is supply- and overdrive-dependent: at VCC = 2.7V and 100mV overdrive, tPHL = 350 ns and tPLH = 400 ns; at VCC = 5V and same overdrive, tPHL = 200 ns and tPLH = 300 ns. Input offset voltage is specified at +0.5 mV (min) / 7 mV (typ) across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into modern 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 50μA - enables multi-year battery life in portable vacuum robots and cordless power tools. |
| Input Offset Voltage (typ) | 7mV - ensures reliable detection of ≥10mV signal differentials in appliance threshold-sensing applications. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | −0.1V to VCC−0.7V - allows ground-referenced inputs and simplifies sensor interface design in building automation systems. |
| Output Saturation Voltage (typ) | 150mV at 1.5mA - guarantees strong logic-low assertion even under light pull-up loads in factory control I/O modules. |
| Propagation Delay (5V, 100mV OD) | tPHL = 200 ns, tPLH = 300 ns - meets timing requirements for fast-response overvoltage protection in server PSUs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000V - provides robust handling during automated PCB assembly and field service in industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
LMV393IDR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (3.91mm × 4.90mm body size) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance RθJA = 168°C/W enables operation up to +125°C ambient without forced airflow in enclosed enclosures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Open-collector output of Comparator A - requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and interface with 1.8V–5V MCU GPIOs. |
| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input of Comparator A - accepts signals down to ground, enabling zero-reference voltage detection. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of Comparator A - used for threshold comparison against analog sensor outputs or reference voltages. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs. |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply pin - requires 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed ≤2mm from pin to suppress supply transients. |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of Comparator B - supports independent dual-threshold monitoring (e.g., high/low battery warning). |
| 7 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of Comparator B - configurable as window comparator input when paired with Comparator A. |
| 8 | OUT B | Open-collector output of Comparator B - electrically isolated from OUT A, allowing separate pull-up voltages or load types. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 2.7V supply - eliminates need for dedicated 5V rails in 3.3V embedded systems. |
| Ground-sensing input stage | PNP differential pair enables VICR extension to −0.1V - supports direct connection to current-sense resistors referenced to ground. |
| Open-collector outputs | Independent sinking capability per channel - enables wired-AND logic, level translation, and mixed-voltage bus interfacing. |
| Low quiescent current | 50μA typical total supply current - reduces standby power in always-on building automation sensors. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary modules and industrial motor drives. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher supply range (2V–36V), 100μA typical ICC, wider input offset (±2mV min), no guaranteed ground-sensing below 0°C. | Preferred in industrial 24V systems; less suitable for battery-critical 3.3V designs due to higher current and reduced low-VICR margin. | Select LM393DR only when wide supply range outweighs low-power and ground-sensing requirements. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower ICC (38μA typ), rail-to-rail input, 1.8V–5.5V supply, but 1.5μs propagation delay - 5× slower than LMV393IDR at 5V. | Better for ultra-low-power IoT sensors where speed is secondary; unsuitable for PSU fault response or motor overcurrent protection. | Choose TLV3702IDR when sub-40μA current dominates timing requirements, not for real-time protection. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, LMV393IDR uniquely balances 50μA ultra-low supply current, ground-sensing capability, and sub-300ns propagation delay at 5V - making it optimal for dual-threshold detection in portable and server power systems where both efficiency and responsiveness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMV393IDR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV393IDR is 5.5V, as specified in Section 5.1 of the datasheet. Operation beyond this voltage risks permanent device damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V, ensuring full parametric compliance including input offset voltage, propagation delay, and output saturation across temperature.
Does LMV393IDR support true ground-referenced input operation?
Yes, LMV393IDR supports input common-mode voltage down to −0.1V at 25°C (VICR = −0.1V to VCC−0.7V), enabling direct connection to ground-referenced signals such as current-sense shunts or thermistor dividers. This capability is enabled by its PNP-input stage and is validated across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range.
What is the typical output sink current capability of LMV393IDR at 2.7V supply?
At VCC = 2.7V and 25°C, LMV393IDR delivers 23mA typical output sink current (IO) with VO ≤ 1.5V, as stated in Section 5.5. This allows direct driving of LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs with pull-up resistors as low as ~110Ω while maintaining VOL ≤ 150mV.
Can LMV393IDR be used in a window comparator configuration?
Yes, LMV393IDR's dual independent comparators enable straightforward window comparator implementation: Comparator A monitors upper threshold (IN+ tied to reference, IN− to signal), Comparator B monitors lower threshold (IN− tied to reference, IN+ to signal), with outputs wired-ANDed via external pull-up. No additional components are required beyond two resistive dividers and one pull-up resistor.
What package type and marking does LMV393IDR use?
LMV393IDR uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 3.91mm × 4.90mm body size and is marked "MV393I" on the top surface. It is RoHS-compliant, has NiPdAu lead finish, and carries MSL Level-1 rating (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life), per TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM dated March 2026.
