Product details
Overview
TLC339MDG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad differential voltage comparator with open-drain CMOS outputs, designed for single-supply operation from 4 V to 16 V. It delivers 2.5 µs typical propagation delay with 5-mV overdrive, consumes only 200 µW typical at 5 V, and features 10¹² Ω typical input impedance - enabling precision level detection in battery-powered sensor interfaces and industrial power supervisors.
For engineers reviewing the TLC339MDG4 datasheet, TLC339MDG4 pinout, TLC339MDG4 application, or TLC339MDG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −55°C to 125°C military-grade temperature range, 5 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, open-drain output compatibility with wired-OR logic and mixed-voltage systems, and LinCMOS™ process stability under differential input stress.
Technical Context
The TLC339MDG4 implements four independent comparators using Texas Instruments' LinCMOS™ process, which combines high input impedance and ultra-low bias current with exceptional input offset voltage stability (0.23 µV/month drift including first 30 days). Its open-drain MOS output stage requires an external pull-up resistor and supports interfacing to TTL, CMOS, or higher-voltage rails up to 18 V.
Unlike bipolar comparators, it avoids linear-region latch-up risk during testing and operates reliably across full common-mode input range (0 V to VDD−1.5 V) at −55°C to 125°C. Absolute maximum ratings include ±18 V differential input voltage and 20 mA per output sink capability, with total ground current limited to 60 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 4 V to 16 V - enables direct use with 5 V, 12 V, or unregulated industrial rails without LDO pre-regulation |
| Propagation delay (5 mV overdrive) | 2.5 µs typ - supports fast threshold detection in motor control commutation and supply fault response |
| Input offset voltage (max, 25°C) | 5 mV - ensures reliable 10-bit ADC reference monitoring and low-voltage battery end-of-discharge detection |
| Input bias current (typ, 25°C) | 5 pA - permits high-impedance sensor signal conditioning (e.g., thermistors, photodiodes) without loading error |
| Output configuration | Open-drain CMOS - allows wired-OR logic, level translation, and direct interface to microcontroller interrupt pins |
| Operating temperature range | −55°C to 125°C - qualified for aerospace, defense, and under-hood automotive applications |

Applications
| Motor Speed Control | Power Supply Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of DC brush motors using feedback from current-sense resistors and direction switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator monitors motor phase voltage thresholds and generates non-overlapping enable signals for half-H drivers (e.g., SN75603/SN75604). Use Value: Enables precise speed regulation and stall detection without microcontroller intervention, reducing firmware overhead and latency. | Use Scenario: Monitoring 5 V and 12 V rails in industrial PLCs to trigger early power-fail interrupts and hardware resets before brownout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two comparators detect undervoltage thresholds; third generates reset pulse via RC timing; fourth provides early warning interrupt to µP. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic system shutdown and recovery with <10 µs response - prevents memory corruption during supply collapse. |
| Nonoverlapping Clock Generation | Threshold-Based Sensor Interface |
Use Scenario: Generating complementary, dead-time-controlled clock pairs for synchronous rectification or gate driving in DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three comparators form a ring oscillator with RC timing network; fourth enforces phase separation and duty-cycle tuning. Use Value: Achieves <5 ns inter-channel skew and programmable dead time - improves converter efficiency and prevents shoot-through. | Use Scenario: Converting analog outputs from temperature, pressure, or gas sensors into digital event flags for wake-on-threshold operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator channels compare sensor voltage against precision reference dividers; open-drain outputs drive µP interrupt lines directly. Use Value: Reduces system power by >95% vs. continuous ADC sampling - extends battery life in wireless sensor nodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339J | Bipolar process; 1.3 mA typical supply current; 300 ns propagation delay; no guaranteed −55°C operation | Higher power draw limits use in battery systems; slower response unsuitable for >10 kHz PWM edge detection | Select LM339J only for cost-sensitive commercial designs where temperature range and quiescent current are non-critical |
| TLC3704CD | Push-pull output (no external pull-up needed); 10 µA lower supply current; same LinCMOS™ specs but incompatible pinout | Eliminates BOM components but requires PCB redesign; not drop-in compatible with TLC339MDG4 layouts | Choose TLC3704CD when board space is constrained and open-drain flexibility is unnecessary |
Compared with LM339J and TLC3704CD, the TLC339MDG4 uniquely balances ultra-low power (200 µW), military-grade temperature resilience (−55°C to 125°C), and open-drain versatility - making it optimal for ruggedized, long-life embedded systems where layout reuse and supply headroom matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential input voltage for the TLC339MDG4?
The TLC339MDG4 supports a maximum differential input voltage of ±18 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This allows safe operation even when one input is driven significantly above or below the other - critical in noisy industrial environments where transient spikes may occur across sensor inputs. The device remains functional as long as input current is limited to <5 mA.
Does the TLC339MDG4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the TLC339MDG4 has open-drain CMOS outputs and requires external pull-up resistors to define the high-state voltage level. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on rise time and bus loading requirements. Pull-up to VDD enables TTL/CMOS compatibility; pull-up to a higher rail (e.g., 12 V) supports mixed-voltage interfacing - a key feature leveraged in the TLC339MDG4's design.
Can the TLC339MDG4 operate from a 3-V supply?
No, the TLC339MDG4 is rated for 4 V to 16 V supply operation. For 3-V systems, TI offers the TLC339C variant (commercial grade) or TLC339I (industrial grade), both specified down to 3 V. The TLC339MDG4's minimum 4-V rating reflects its military-temperature qualification and LinCMOS™ process optimization - using it below 4 V risks parametric failure or undefined behavior.
How does the input offset voltage drift specification apply to the TLC339MDG4?
The TLC339MDG4 specifies input offset voltage change of ≤0.23 µV/month, including the first 30 days. This quantifies long-term calibration stability - essential for applications like precision reference monitoring or sensor baseline tracking where recalibration intervals exceed months. The value is measured under worst-case input stress conditions and is intrinsic to the LinCMOS™ process used in the TLC339MDG4.
Is the TLC339MDG4 pin-compatible with standard LM339 packages?
No, the TLC339MDG4 uses the SOIC-14 (D) package with standard 1.27-mm pitch, but its pinout differs from the LM339. Specifically, TLC339MDG4 assigns VDD to pin 6 and GND to pin 9, whereas LM339 places VDD on pin 16 and GND on pin 8 in PDIP-14. Layout reuse is not possible without adapter routing - a key distinction confirmed in the TLC339MDG4 datasheet's top-view diagram.
