Product details
Overview
TLC393QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a dual micropower 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 (tPLH) with 5-mV overdrive, 5 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and consumes only 110 µW typical at 5 V - enabling precision threshold detection in automotive power-supply supervision and motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the TLC393QDRQ1 datasheet, TLC393QDRQ1 pinout, TLC393QDRQ1 application, or TLC393QDRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specifications (AEC-Q100 Grade 1, HBM H2/C4B), package-validated pin functions, and two confirmed alternative comparators for design flexibility under temperature-critical conditions.
Technical Context
The TLC393QDRQ1 integrates two independent LinCMOS™ comparators sharing a common VDD and GND, each featuring rail-to-rail input capability (VIC = 0 to VDD − 1.5 V) and open-drain output stage compatible with pull-up voltages up to 16 V. Its architecture eliminates internal phase inversion and supports direct interfacing to microcontroller interrupt inputs or logic-level translators without level-shifting circuitry.
Designed specifically for automotive environments, it operates across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, maintains stable input offset voltage (<10 mV over full range), and achieves >84 dB common-mode and supply-voltage rejection - critical for noise-immune sensing in engine control units and battery management systems where supply ripple and ground bounce are prevalent.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual open-drain comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393QPWRQ1 | Higher quiescent current (500 µA typ), slower tPLH (10 µs @ 5 mV), same SOIC-8 package and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating. | Less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on modules; acceptable for cost-sensitive non-critical supervision where speed is secondary. | Select LM393QPWRQ1 only if legacy LM393 footprint reuse is mandatory and 2.5 µs response is unnecessary. |
| TLC3702QDRQ1 | Push-pull (not open-drain) outputs, identical LinCMOS™ performance, same VIO and tPLH specs, also AEC-Q100 Grade 1. | Requires level translation for mixed-voltage systems; cannot perform wired-OR or interface to higher-voltage logic without external components. | Choose TLC3702QDRQ1 when driving LEDs, relays, or CMOS inputs directly - but avoid when open-drain flexibility or multi-load sharing is needed. |
Compared with LM393QPWRQ1 and TLC3702QDRQ1, the TLC393QDRQ1 uniquely combines micropower operation, open-drain outputs, and automotive-grade speed/stability - making it the optimal choice for battery-conscious, multi-rail, or fault-tolerant comparator applications requiring minimal BOM count and layout area.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for the TLC393QDRQ1?
The TLC393QDRQ1 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) of 18 V, but its recommended operating range is 4 V to 16 V. Operating above 16 V risks exceeding electrical limits and may degrade long-term reliability. The device is commonly used at 5 V or 12 V in automotive applications, and the TLC393QDRQ1 datasheet specifies guaranteed performance only within the 4–16 V range under all temperature conditions.
Does the TLC393QDRQ1 support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the TLC393QDRQ1 supports a common-mode input voltage range from 0 V to VDD − 1.5 V at 125°C (and 0 V to VDD − 1 V at 25°C). This allows direct interfacing with signals referenced to ground or to VDD - such as battery-sensed dividers - without external level-shifting circuitry. However, inputs must remain within −0.3 V to VDD to avoid forward-biasing ESD diodes, and differential input voltage must not exceed ±18 V.
Can the TLC393QDRQ1 outputs drive a 3.3 V logic input directly?
Yes, the TLC393QDRQ1 open-drain outputs can drive a 3.3 V logic input when pulled up to 3.3 V via an external resistor. Since the output is open-drain, it sinks current when active low and presents high impedance when inactive - allowing clean interfacing with mixed-voltage systems. The TLC393QDRQ1 output can sink up to 20 mA, so a 10 kΩ pull-up to 3.3 V yields ~0.33 mA load, well within specification and ensuring solid logic-low levels below 0.4 V.
Is the TLC393QDRQ1 pin-compatible with the standard LM393?
No, the TLC393QDRQ1 is not pin-compatible with the LM393. While both are dual comparators in SOIC-8 packages, the pin assignments differ: LM393 places OUT1 on pin 1 and OUT2 on pin 7, whereas the TLC393QDRQ1 places OUT1 on pin 1 and OUT2 on pin 7 - same numbering - but the TLC393QDRQ1 uses pin 4 for GND and pin 8 for VDD, matching LM393. However, the TLC393QDRQ1's LinCMOS™ input structure enables rail-to-rail common-mode range, unlike LM393's PNP-input limitation - requiring careful schematic review even if physical layout appears interchangeable.
What decoupling capacitance is recommended for the TLC393QDRQ1?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the TLC393QDRQ1 VDD (pin 8) and GND (pin 4) pins is explicitly recommended in the datasheet to suppress high-frequency supply noise and ensure stable comparator operation. For systems with high-current switching nearby (e.g., motor drivers), adding a bulk 10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel improves low-frequency regulation. This decoupling is essential to prevent false triggering due to supply bounce, especially given the TLC393QDRQ1's high PSRR and sensitivity to transient noise.
