Product details
Overview
TLC393IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual micropower voltage comparator with open-drain CMOS outputs, designed for single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V. It delivers 110 µW typical supply power at 5 V, 2.5 µs typical propagation delay (tPLH) with 5-mV overdrive, and ≤5 mV input offset voltage across −40°C to 125°C - enabling precision threshold detection in battery-powered industrial sensors and power supervision circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TLC393IDRG4 datasheet, TLC393IDRG4 pinout, TLC393IDRG4 application, or TLC393IDRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOIC-8), confirmed LinCMOS™ process advantages (low bias current, high CMRR), temperature-rated electrical specs, and two validated alternative comparators for design flexibility under extended industrial conditions.
Technical Context
The TLC393IDRG4 implements two independent comparators using Texas Instruments' LinCMOS™ process, delivering ultra-low input bias current (≤0.6 nA at 70°C) and stable input offset voltage (≤7 mV over −40°C to 85°C). Its open-drain output stage requires an external pull-up resistor and supports interfacing with TTL, CMOS, or mixed-voltage logic loads.
It operates across a wide common-mode input range (0 V to VDD − 1.5 V) and exhibits 84 dB minimum common-mode rejection ratio (CMMR) and supply-voltage rejection ratio (kSVR) up to 85 dB - critical for reliable operation in noisy industrial environments with fluctuating rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - enables direct use with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 22–65 µA (both comparators, −40°C to 85°C) - supports multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤7 mV max (−40°C to 85°C) - ensures accurate voltage thresholding within ±3.5 mV tolerance at room and extended temperatures. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH) | 2.5 µs typ @ 5-mV overdrive, VDD = 5 V - suitable for sub-100-kHz window-comparator or PWM timing applications. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤0.6 nA at 70°C - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistors, photodiodes). |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VDD − 1.5 V - allows rail-to-rail sensing of signals referenced to ground or mid-supply. |
| Output Type | Open-drain CMOS - permits wired-OR logic, flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 16 V), and compatibility with mixed-voltage buses. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (D package), surface-mount, 150 mil width, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher supply current (500 µA typ), wider offset (±7 mV), no guaranteed operation above 85°C. | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient (0°C to 70°C); unsuitable for under-hood or high-temp enclosures. | Select LM393DR only for cost-sensitive, non-extended-temp designs where 5× higher power is acceptable. |
| TLC3702CDR | Push-pull outputs (no external pull-up needed), faster tPLH (1.5 µs), but higher IDD (120 µA typ) and narrower temp range (0°C to 70°C). | Eliminates pull-up resistors but increases quiescent power - better for speed-critical, board-space-constrained 5 V systems. | Choose TLC3702CDR when output drive simplicity outweighs power budget constraints and temperature requirements are moderate. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLC3702CDR, the TLC393IDRG4 uniquely balances ultra-low power (22 µA), extended temperature rating (−40°C to 125°C), and open-drain flexibility - making it optimal for battery-operated industrial edge nodes requiring long-term reliability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TLC393IDRG4?
The TLC393IDRG4 is characterized for operation from −40°C to 125°C, meeting extended industrial and automotive under-hood requirements. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the "recommended operating conditions" table for the TLC393I grade, and the D package marking "C393C" corresponds to the TLC393I temperature variant per TI's packaging addendum.
Does the TLC393IDRG4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the TLC393IDRG4 features open-drain CMOS outputs (OUT1 and OUT2), which require external pull-up resistors to define the high-state voltage level. The datasheet specifies a maximum sink current of 20 mA per output, and typical designs use 5.1 kΩ pull-ups to VDD or another logic rail - enabling interoperability with TTL, CMOS, or mixed-voltage systems.
How does the input offset voltage of the TLC393IDRG4 compare to the LM393?
The TLC393IDRG4 has a maximum input offset voltage of 7 mV over −40°C to 85°C, versus ±7 mV (14 mV total span) for the LM393. Additionally, the TLC393IDRG4 uses LinCMOS™ technology to maintain stable offset under differential input stress, whereas the LM393's bipolar architecture exhibits greater drift - making the TLC393IDRG4 more suitable for precision thresholding in varying conditions.
Can the TLC393IDRG4 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the TLC393IDRG4 supports supply voltages from 3 V to 16 V, including 3.3 V nominal rails. At 3.3 V, its common-mode input range remains 0 V to 1.8 V (VDD − 1.5 V), and key parameters like supply current (22–65 µA) and propagation delay (≤3.6 µs at 2-mV overdrive) remain valid - enabling direct integration into modern low-voltage microcontroller systems.
Is the TLC393IDRG4 pin-compatible with other SOIC-8 dual comparators?
The TLC393IDRG4 follows the industry-standard SOIC-8 pinout for dual comparators (OUT1, IN1−, IN1+, GND, VDD, OUT2, IN2−, IN2+), matching LM393, TLC3702, and TLV3702 pin-for-pin. However, functional differences exist - such as open-drain vs push-pull outputs - so schematic review is required before substitution, even when footprint compatibility is confirmed.
