Product details
Overview
LP339DRG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-power quadruple voltage comparator IC designed for single-supply operation in industrial and consumer signal-conditioning circuits. It features 60 µA typical supply current, ±2 mV input offset voltage, ±0.5 nA input offset current, rail-to-rail common-mode input range (including ground), and 30 mA output sink capability at VO = 2 V - enabling direct interface with CMOS logic in battery-powered or space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the LP339DRG4 datasheet, LP339DRG4 pinout, LP339DRG4 application, or LP339DRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0°C to 70°C temperature rating, SOIC-14 package, open-collector outputs compatible with mixed-voltage logic, and functional equivalence to LM339 in standard-comparator roles where extended temperature range is not required.
Technical Context
The LP339DRG4 implements four independent p-n-p input stage comparators with ultra-low quiescent current independent of supply voltage (3 V to 30 V). Its input stage allows common-mode voltage down to ground, eliminating need for level-shifting in single-supply sensor interfaces.
Output stage uses bimodal Darlington/ground-emitter architecture: delivers 30 mA sink at VO ≥ 1.5 V (Darlington mode) and ~700 µA at VO ≤ 0.4 V (ground-emitter mode), supporting both high-current loads (e.g., relays, LEDs) and low-voltage logic interfacing without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 30 V - supports wide-input industrial rails and battery-backed systems without regulation. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 60 µA typ - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±2 mV max at 25°C - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision window or zero-crossing applications. |
| Input Offset Current | ±0.5 nA max at 25°C - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., photodiode, thermistor bridges). |
| Output Sink Current | 30 mA at VO = 2 V - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or TTL/CMOS inputs without external transistors. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC − 2 V - accepts ground-referenced signals (e.g., thermocouple, resistive divider) without biasing networks. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control, HVAC, and appliance applications. |
Pinout & Package
LP339DRG4 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm × 3.91 mm body, and 1.75 mm max height - compatible with standard surface-mount assembly and IPC-7351 land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14 | Comparator Inputs & Outputs | Pins 1–2 (1IN−/1IN+), 4–5 (2IN−/2IN+), 8–9 (3IN−/3IN+), 12–13 (4IN−/4IN+) are differential inputs; Pins 1, 7, 8, 14 are open-collector outputs (1OUT, 2OUT, 3OUT, 4OUT). |
| 3, 11 | Power Supply | Pin 3 = VCC (positive supply); Pin 11 = GND (reference ground) - single-supply configuration only. |
| 7, 14 | Outputs | Uncommitted collector outputs require external pull-up resistors; multiple outputs can be wire-OR'd for dot-logic functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow Power Consumption | 60 µA typical ICC enables >10-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes using CR2032 cells. |
| Ground-Sensing Input Stage | Common-mode range includes 0 V - eliminates need for input biasing in single-supply analog front-ends. |
| Bimodal Output Architecture | Darlington mode (≥1.5 V) delivers 30 mA; ground-emitter mode (≤0.4 V) sustains 700 µA - supports mixed-load interfacing. |
| Reverse-Supply Protection | Withstands −36 V on VCC pin - prevents latch-up during board insertion or power sequencing faults. |
| CMOS/TTL Logic Compatibility | Output voltage swing matches MOS/CMOS input thresholds - simplifies interface to microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
Applications
| Temperature Monitoring | Power Supply Sequencing |

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, but rated for −25°C to 85°C industrial temp range. | Supports wider ambient environments (e.g., outdoor kiosks, automotive cabins) where LP339DRG4's 0°C–70°C range is insufficient. | Select LM339DR when extended temperature qualification is required; otherwise LP339DRG4 remains cost-optimized for commercial-grade designs. |
| LP2901DR | Same SOIC-14 package and pinout; rated for −40°C to 85°C; input offset voltage ±5 mV (vs. ±2 mV for LP339DRG4). | Valid for automotive and industrial control where cold-start operation below 0°C is mandatory, accepting minor offset trade-off. | Choose LP2901DR for AEC-Q100-qualified systems; LP339DRG4 is preferred for cost-sensitive commercial products with no sub-zero requirement. |
Compared with LM339DR and LP2901DR, the LP339DRG4 offers the tightest input offset voltage (±2 mV) among the three while maintaining lowest unit cost - making it optimal for precision threshold detection in commercial temperature environments where extended range adds unnecessary expense.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the LP339DRG4?
The LP339DRG4 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is documented in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SLCS004B and applies specifically to the LP339 variant - distinct from the LP2901 (−40°C to 85°C) and LP239 (−25°C to 85°C). The LP339DRG4's thermal specification makes it suitable for indoor consumer electronics and industrial equipment operating in climate-controlled environments.
Is the LP339DRG4 pin-compatible with the LM339?
Yes, the LP339DRG4 is pin-for-pin compatible with the LM339, as confirmed in the TI datasheet SLCS004B which states "Pin-for-Pin Compatible With LM239, LM339, LM2901". Both devices use the same SOIC-14 (D) package footprint and identical pin assignments for VCC, GND, inputs, and open-collector outputs - enabling drop-in replacement in existing LM339 designs without layout changes.
Does the LP339DRG4 support dual-supply operation?
The LP339DRG4 is designed primarily for single-supply operation, but split-supply operation is possible per the datasheet: "Operation from split power supplies also is possible". However, its input common-mode range is specified relative to ground (0 V to VCC − 2 V), and performance parameters like input offset voltage and supply current are guaranteed only under single-supply conditions. For robust dual-supply use, TI recommends the LM339 or LP2901 variants with broader characterization.
What is the maximum output sink current of the LP339DRG4 and at what voltage is it specified?
The LP339DRG4 delivers up to 30 mA output sink current at VO = 2 V, as stated in the "Key Specifications" section of the SLCS004B datasheet. This value reflects operation in the Darlington mode of its bimodal output stage - activated when output voltage remains above ~1.5 V. At lower voltages (e.g., VO = 0.4 V), sink current drops to ~700 µA due to transition into ground-emitter mode.
Why is the LP339DRG4 marked as obsolete in TI's packaging addendum?
The LP339DRG4 is listed as obsolete in TI's Package Option Addendum because it is no longer in active production or supported for new designs - though existing inventory may still be available through authorized distributors. TI recommends migration to active alternatives such as LP339DR (same specs, active status) or LP2901DR (wider temperature range). The LP339DRG4 remains functionally identical to LP339DR but lacks ongoing manufacturing commitment.
