Product details
Overview
LMV393IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual low-voltage comparator IC operating from 2.7V to 5.5V, featuring open-collector outputs, 50μA typical supply current, and input common-mode range extending to ground. It delivers 150mV typical output saturation voltage and supports fast propagation delays down to 200ns (at 5V, 100mV overdrive), making it suitable for battery-powered vacuum robots and server PSU monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LMV393IDRG4 datasheet, LMV393IDRG4 pinout, LMV393IDRG4 application, or LMV393IDRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel open-drain architecture, rail-to-rail input capability at low supply, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic interfaces in space-constrained industrial control and appliance designs.
Technical Context
The LMV393IDRG4 implements a PNP-input stage enabling input common-mode operation down to ground and up to VCC − 0.7V, supporting accurate threshold detection in single-supply systems. Its open-collector NPN output stage allows flexible pull-up configuration for level shifting or wired-AND logic functions.
It operates as a pure voltage comparator-no internal hysteresis or reference-requiring external components for noise immunity. Propagation delay varies with supply voltage and input overdrive: at 2.7V, tPHL is 350ns (100mV overdrive); at 5V, it improves to 200ns under identical conditions.
Key Specifications

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 | Wider supply range (2V–36V), higher ICC (500μA typ), no guaranteed ground-sensing below 2V | Better suited for high-voltage industrial sensors; less optimal for 3.3V-only battery systems | Choose LM393DR only if >5.5V operation or legacy design reuse is required |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower VIO (1.5mV max), rail-to-rail inputs, 85μA ICC, but no guaranteed ground-sensing below –0.1V | Higher precision for reference-based thresholds; slightly higher power consumption | Prefer TLV3702IDR when offset-critical window detection is needed and supply ≥3V |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, the LMV393IDRG4 offers the best balance of ultra-low power, guaranteed ground-referenced input operation, and SOIC-8 compatibility for cost-sensitive consumer and industrial applications where 2.7–5.5V supply is fixed.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMV393IDRG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LMV393IDRG4 is 5.5V. Operating above this risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V, with full electrical specifications guaranteed across that span. At 5.5V, the device maintains 150mV typical saturation voltage and 200ns propagation delay (100mV overdrive), making LMV393IDRG4 suitable for 5V systems with margin.
Does LMV393IDRG4 support true ground-referenced input operation?
Yes, LMV393IDRG4 guarantees input common-mode voltage range down to –0.1V at 25°C and to 0V across –40°C to +125°C. This enables direct connection of sensors or signal sources referenced to system ground without level-shifting circuitry. The PNP input stage ensures accurate comparison even when IN+ or IN− is at 0V, a key differentiator from many competing comparators.
Can LMV393IDRG4 outputs drive a 5V logic input while powered from 3.3V?
Yes - LMV393IDRG4's open-collector outputs allow external pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5V, independent of VCC+. When powered from 3.3V, pulling OUT A or OUT B to 5V enables direct interfacing with 5V-tolerant MCU inputs. The 150mV typical saturation voltage ensures solid logic-low assertion, and the ±2000V HBM rating protects against ESD during mixed-voltage board handling.
What is the typical supply current of LMV393IDRG4 at 2.7V and 125°C?
At 2.7V and 125°C, LMV393IDRG4 draws ≤140μA (maximum specified), with typical current remaining near 50μA. The datasheet specifies 50μA typical at 25°C and 2.7V, and 200μA maximum at 125°C and 5V. This low, thermally stable ICC makes LMV393IDRG4 ideal for thermally demanding environments like enclosed server PSUs or motor-driven appliances where self-heating must be minimized.
Is LMV393IDRG4 pin-compatible with LM393DR in SOIC-8 packages?
Yes - LMV393IDRG4 and LM393DR share identical SOIC-8 (D) pinout: Pin 1 = OUT A, Pin 2 = IN− A, Pin 3 = IN+ A, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = VCC+, Pin 6 = IN− B, Pin 7 = IN+ B, Pin 8 = OUT B. However, LMV393IDRG4 adds guaranteed ground-sensing and lower ICC, while LM393DR supports higher voltages. Direct replacement is electrically valid in 2.7–5.5V designs, but verify input common-mode and timing requirements.
