Product details
Overview
TS393MDT from STMicroelectronics is a micropower dual CMOS voltage comparator with 9 µA typical supply current per comparator, ±1.35 V to ±8 V dual-supply or 2.7 V to 16 V single-supply operation, and 1 pA typical input bias current. It features rail-to-rail input common-mode range including ground and 2.5 µs typical response time for 5 mV overdrive, used in battery-powered sensor threshold detection and precision level sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TS393MDT datasheet, TS393MDT pinout, TS393MDT application, or TS393MDT equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, ground-sensing capability, push-pull-compatible output stage, and extended industrial temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) in SO-8 package.
Technical Context
The TS393MDT implements two independent high-impedance CMOS comparators with complementary differential inputs and open-drain outputs. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from GND to VCC – 1.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with grounded sensors and low-voltage microcontrollers.
Each comparator delivers 2.5 µs propagation delay under 5 mV overdrive with 5.1 kΩ load and 50 pF capacitance, while maintaining 70 dB minimum common-mode and supply voltage rejection ratios across its full operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 9 µA typ./comp. - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring systems |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typ. - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., photodiode, pH electrode) |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0 V to VCC – 1.5 V - allows direct GND-referenced input sensing without level-shifting circuitry |
| Response Time | 2.5 µs typ. (5 mV overdrive) - supports fast edge detection in motor commutation or overvoltage latch circuits |
| Input Offset Voltage | 6.5 mV max. - sets minimum detectable differential voltage in precision window comparators |
| Output Type | Open-drain - permits wired-OR logic, level translation, and pull-up to higher voltage rails |
Pinout & Package
TS393MDT is housed in an SO-8 (Small Outline) plastic micropackage per JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27 mm pitch, 4.8–5.0 mm width, and 3.8–4.0 mm length. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Comparator 1) | Accepts reference or sensed signal for first comparator; supports GND-referenced inputs |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (Comparator 1) | Accepts variable signal (e.g., sensor output); high-impedance node minimizes loading |
| 3 | Output (Comparator 1) | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; compatible with 3.3 V or 5 V logic domains |
| 4 | VCC– / GND | Negative supply or ground reference; must be connected even in single-supply configurations |
| 5 | Non-inverting Input (Comparator 2) | Independent second channel input; identical electrical characteristics to Pin 2 |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Comparator 2) | Second comparator reference input; fully isolated from Channel 1 |
| 7 | Output (Comparator 2) | Separate open-drain output; enables independent control of two system thresholds |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail (2.7–16 V); powers both comparators and internal bias circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 9 µA/comparator enables >10-year battery life in wireless sensor nodes with intermittent wake-up |
| GND-Inclusive Input Range | 0 V to VCC–1.5 V allows direct connection to shunt resistors, thermistors, or op-amp outputs referenced to ground |
| High Input Impedance | 1012 Ω typical prevents loading of high-Z sources such as piezoelectric transducers or capacitive sensors |
| ESD Robustness | 50 V HBM rating ensures reliability during board handling and assembly in industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher 1 mA supply current per comparator; bipolar input stage; no GND-sensing capability | Not suitable for battery-powered systems requiring >1-year runtime; requires level-shifting for GND-referenced inputs | Select only where cost is primary constraint and power budget exceeds 500 µA |
| TLV3702IDR | CMOS input, 1.2 µA supply current, rail-to-rail input, but only rated to +85°C | Lacks extended temperature support; unsuitable for under-hood automotive or industrial ambient >85°C | Prefer for commercial-grade portable equipment where size and power are critical but temp range is limited |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, TS393MDT uniquely balances ultra-low power (9 µA), extended temperature (–55°C to +125°C), and true ground-sensing capability-making it optimal for harsh-environment, long-life embedded monitoring.

FAQ
Can TS393MDT operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes. TS393MDT supports single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 16 V. At 3.3 V, it maintains full functionality: input common-mode range spans 0 V to 1.8 V, output can sink ≥6 mA, and supply current remains ≤20 µA per comparator across –55°C to +125°C.
Does TS393MDT require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes. Both outputs are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors to define logic-high voltage level. Recommended values range from 10 kΩ (for speed-critical applications) to 100 kΩ (to minimize standby current), depending on load capacitance and rise-time requirements.
How does TS393MDT handle input voltages exceeding the supply rails?
Input voltages may exceed VCC or go below GND, provided the differential input voltage stays within ±18 V and the common-mode voltage remains between 0 V and VCC – 1.5 V. Exceeding these limits risks damage due to ESD diode conduction; external clamping is recommended for overvoltage-prone signals.
Is TS393MDT pin-compatible with LM393 in SO-8 package?
Yes. TS393MDT uses identical SO-8 pinout and functional mapping as LM393 (Pins 1–3 and 5–7), allowing drop-in replacement in existing designs. However, note that TS393MDT has different output behavior under no-load conditions and requires verification of pull-up resistor compatibility due to lower leakage.
