Product details
Overview
LMV393IPWR 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, 150mV typical output saturation voltage, and input common-mode range extending to ground. It serves as a precision voltage comparison element in power management and signal conditioning circuits for portable industrial and consumer systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMV393IPWR datasheet, LMV393IPWR pinout, LMV393IPWR application, or LMV393IPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel configuration, TSSOP-8 package footprint, rail-to-ground input capability, low quiescent current across temperature, and compatibility with mixed-voltage logic interfacing via external pull-up.
Technical Context
The LMV393IPWR implements a PNP-input stage enabling input common-mode operation down to ground (–0.1V) and up to VCC – 0.7V, supporting accurate sensing in 3.3V and 5V single-supply systems. Its open-collector NPN output stage sinks current when IN– exceeds IN+, delivering logic-low levels defined by external pull-up voltage and load.
Propagation delay is supply- and overdrive-dependent: at VCC = 2.7V and 100mV overdrive, tPHL is 350ns and tPLH is 400ns; at VCC = 5V and same overdrive, tPHL drops to 200ns and tPLH to 300ns. Input offset voltage remains ≤7mV (typ) across 25°C and ≤9mV (max) over –40°C to 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into modern low-voltage microcontroller and battery-powered systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 50μA - enables multi-year operation in always-on monitoring circuits powered by coin cells or energy-harvesting sources. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 9mV over –40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable threshold detection in temperature-variable environments like motor control or power tool battery packs. |
| Output Saturation Voltage (typ) | 150mV at 1.5mA sink - allows clean logic-low assertion even with 1.8V or 2.5V pull-up rails, minimizing false triggering in digital interface applications. |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL) | 200ns at 5V/100mV overdrive - suitable for real-time overvoltage/undervoltage protection in server PSUs where sub-microsecond response prevents downstream damage. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.1V to VCC – 0.7V - permits direct connection of sensor outputs referenced to system ground, eliminating need for bias resistors in vacuum robot position feedback loops. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000V - meets industrial handling requirements for factory automation equipment assembly lines without additional ESD protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00mm × 4.40mm body size), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity 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 resistor to define logic-high level and sink current during active-low assertion. |
| 2 | IN– A | Inverting input of comparator A - accepts reference or sensed signal; common-mode range includes ground for single-supply use. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of comparator A - used for threshold comparison; differential input voltage tolerance ±5.5V prevents latch-up during transient events. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane to maintain input offset stability and noise immunity. |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply pin - requires 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress supply ripple-induced comparison errors. |
| 6 | IN– B | Inverting input of comparator B - electrically isolated from channel A; enables independent dual-threshold monitoring (e.g., high/low battery warning). |
| 7 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of comparator B - supports identical signal routing as channel A; no crosstalk between channels per datasheet characterization. |
| 8 | OUT B | Open-collector output of comparator B - independently configurable pull-up allows different logic families (e.g., 3.3V MCU + 5V indicator LED) on same device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-sensing input stage | Enables direct interface with 0V-referenced sensors (e.g., thermistors, current shunts) without level-shifting components in building automation occupancy detectors. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 50μA typical at 25°C and 2.7V - reduces standby power in cordless power tools during sleep mode, extending battery life by >15% versus legacy comparators. |
| Open-collector outputs | Supports wired-AND logic and mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 1.8V MCU inputs with 5V status LEDs), eliminating need for discrete logic buffers in appliance control boards. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable overtemperature shutdown in server PSU thermal management circuits under full-load conditions. |
| High ESD robustness | ±2000V HBM rating - eliminates field failures due to handling discharge during industrial embedded system manufacturing and repair. |

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 (250μA typ), no guaranteed ground-sensing input - common-mode range starts at 0V only above 2.5V supply. | Preferred in industrial 24V systems; unsuitable for 2.7V battery operation or ground-referenced sensors below 3V. | Select LM393DR only when operating above 5V or requiring higher output drive; LMV393IPWR is superior for portable, low-voltage, ground-sensing designs. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower ICC (38μA typ), rail-to-rail input, push-pull output - eliminates need for external pull-up but lacks open-collector flexibility. | Better for space-constrained designs needing rail-to-rail input swing; incompatible with wired-AND or mixed-voltage bus topologies. | Choose TLV3702IDR when minimizing component count is critical and open-collector functionality is unnecessary; LMV393IPWR retains design flexibility for legacy or multi-rail systems. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, LMV393IPWR uniquely balances ultra-low power, guaranteed ground-sensing operation, and open-collector versatility - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, battery-powered, and mixed-voltage industrial edge devices where layout simplicity and functional adaptability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LMV393IPWR?
The LMV393IPWR is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and supports deployment in harsh environments such as server PSUs under full load, factory automation controllers, and cordless power tool battery packs exposed to motor heat.
Does LMV393IPWR support true ground-referenced input operation?
Yes, LMV393IPWR guarantees input common-mode voltage range down to –0.1V at 25°C and to 0V across –40°C to 125°C, enabling direct connection of ground-referenced sensors without external biasing. This is achieved via its PNP-input architecture, distinguishing it from standard bipolar comparators that require ≥1.5V headroom below VCC.
Can LMV393IPWR drive a 5V logic input while powered from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, LMV393IPWR's open-collector outputs allow independent pull-up to any voltage up to 5.5V regardless of VCC. When powered from 3.3V, connecting OUT pins to a 5V rail via a 10kΩ resistor enables direct interfacing with 5V-tolerant MCU inputs or indicator LEDs - a capability confirmed in TI's SLCS136V datasheet Figure 7-1.
What is the typical supply current of LMV393IPWR at 2.7V and 25°C?
The typical supply current of LMV393IPWR is 50μA at 2.7V and 25°C, as specified in Section 5.5 of the TI datasheet. This value scales linearly with supply voltage and remains below 250μA across the full –40°C to 125°C range, ensuring predictable battery drain in always-on monitoring applications.
Is LMV393IPWR pin-compatible with other dual comparators in TSSOP-8 package?
No, LMV393IPWR is not pin-compatible with generic dual comparators such as LM393IPWR or TLC3702IPWR. Its pinout (OUT A, IN– A, IN+ A, GND, VCC+, IN– B, IN+ B, OUT B) is unique to the LMV3xx family and differs from industry-standard arrangements - PCB layout must follow TI's SOIC/TSSOP pin mapping in Section 4 of SLCS136V.
