Product details
Overview
LP339D from Texas Instruments is a low-power quadruple voltage comparator IC designed for single-supply operation across 3 V to 30 V, featuring 60 µA typical supply current, ±2 mV input offset voltage, and 30 mA output sink capability at VO = 2 V - used in battery-powered limit detection and analog-to-digital conversion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LP339D datasheet, LP339D pinout, LP339D application, or LP339D equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative comparators with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The LP339D implements four independent p-n-p input stage comparators with uncommitted open-collector outputs, enabling wired-OR logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection up to 36 V. Its bimodal output structure provides 30 mA sink current above 1.5 V (Darlington mode) and ~700 µA below 0.4 V (ground-emitter mode).
It supports common-mode input voltages from ground to VCC − 2 V across its full operating range (0°C to 70°C), features reverse-voltage protected power inputs, and maintains ultralow bias current (±0.5 nA offset, 3 nA bias) independent of supply voltage - critical for high-impedance sensor interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 30 V - enables direct interface with 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial rails without regulation. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 60 µA - allows multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable monitoring systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | ±5 mV at 25°C - ensures reliable threshold detection within ±5 mV accuracy for precision level sensing. |
| Output Sink Current | 30 mA at VO = 2 V - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or TTL/CMOS logic without external buffers. |
| Input Bias Current (Typ) | 3 nA - minimizes loading error when connected to high-impedance sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC − 2 V - supports rail-to-rail input sensing including ground-referenced signals. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications. |
Pinout & Package
LP339D is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm × 3.9 mm body, and 1.75 mm max height - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13 | Comparator Inputs (IN+, IN−) | Four independent differential input pairs: Pins 1/2 (Comp1), 5/6 (Comp2), 8/9 (Comp3), 12/13 (Comp4). |
| 3, 4, 10, 11 | Open-Collector Outputs | Uncommitted collector outputs - require external pull-up resistors; support wired-AND logic and mixed-voltage interfacing. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all comparators and internal bias network - must be low-impedance connection. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply input - reverse-voltage protected; accepts 3–30 V DC with no polarity protection required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow Power Consumption | 60 µA typical ICC enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes using CR2032 cells. |
| Ground-Sensing Input Stage | Common-mode range includes 0 V - permits direct comparison of signals referenced to system ground without level-shifting. |
| Bimodal Output Architecture | Switches between Darlington (30 mA @ VO ≥ 1.5 V) and ground-emitter (700 µA @ VO ≤ 0.4 V) modes for optimized drive strength vs. low-level logic compatibility. |
| CMOS/TTL Output Compatibility | Open-collector outputs interface directly with 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V logic families via external pull-up - no level translators needed. |
| Reverse Supply Protection | Withstands accidental VCC polarity reversal - eliminates need for series diode in field-deployed equipment. |
Applications
| Limit Detection System | Analog-to-Digital Converter |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting comparator translating logic-high/low states into 0 V / 24 V open-collector outputs. Use Value: Output pull-up to 24 V enables direct control of industrial loads; input bias current <3 nA prevents signal corruption on high-Z MCU pins. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Same pinout, identical electrical specs except wider temp range (−40°C to 85°C); higher max ICC (100 µA typ vs. 60 µA). | Preferred for extended-temperature industrial or automotive environments where LP339D's 0°C–70°C range is insufficient. | Select LM339DR when ambient operating temperature exceeds 70°C or long-term reliability at −40°C is required. |
| LP2901DR | Same SOIC-14 package and pinout; rated for −40°C to 85°C; identical 60 µA ICC and ±2 mV VIO, but improved input offset drift over temperature. | Suitable for precision measurement systems requiring stable threshold accuracy across wide thermal excursions. | Choose LP2901DR when design requires guaranteed performance down to −40°C with tighter input offset stability over temperature. |
Compared with LP339D, LM339DR offers broader temperature qualification at slightly higher power, while LP2901DR delivers identical low-power operation plus extended cold-temperature capability and improved offset drift - making both viable alternatives depending on thermal and precision requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LP339D?
The LP339D has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) rating of 36 V. It operates reliably across a recommended range of 3 V to 30 V, supporting direct connection to common industrial rails such as 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V without regulation. Exceeding 36 V risks permanent damage per the absolute maximum ratings table in the official TI datasheet for LP339D.
Does the LP339D support rail-to-rail input operation?
The LP339D supports common-mode input voltages from ground (0 V) to VCC − 2 V across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C). While not fully rail-to-rail on the high side, its ability to accept inputs down to 0 V - including ground-referenced signals - makes it suitable for single-supply sensor interfacing without level-shifting circuitry. This behavior is confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" section of the LP339D datasheet.
Can multiple LP339D outputs be connected together?
Yes, LP339D outputs are open-collector and can be wire-OR'd (wired-AND) by connecting them to a shared pull-up resistor. This configuration enables dot-logic functions such as alarm consolidation or priority encoding. The output section is designed for this purpose, and the datasheet explicitly states that "several outputs can be tied together" - provided total sink current remains within device limits and pull-up voltage stays within the 3–36 V allowed range.
What is the typical response time of the LP339D?
The LP339D exhibits a typical large-signal response time of 1.3 µs under TTL logic swing conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C, RL = 5.1 kΩ to 5 V). This value is measured from input transition to valid output state and reflects performance in fast threshold-detection applications like pulse shaping or simple ADC front-ends. Response time increases slightly at lower supply voltages or elevated temperatures, as noted in the switching characteristics table of the LP339D datasheet.
Is the LP339D pin-compatible with other TI quad comparators?
Yes, the LP339D is pin-for-pin compatible with the LM239, LM339, and LM2901 in the same SOIC-14 (D) package. All share identical pin assignments for inputs, outputs, VCC, and GND. However, differences exist in temperature range, input offset voltage distribution, and supply current - so while PCB layout is interchangeable, system-level validation is required when substituting LP339D for LM339 or LP2901 in designs operating outside 0°C–70°C.
