Overview

The LM2903BIPWR is a dual-channel, general-purpose voltage comparator featuring an open-collector output and a wide supply range from 2V to 36V. This 'B' version provides an upgraded drop-in replacement for the industry-standard LM2903, offering improved specifications such as lower input offset voltage and lower supply current. It is designed to operate reliably across a wide temperature range of -40 deg C to 125 deg C.

Why Choose This Part

It offers a low quiescent current of 600uA and a fast typical response time of 1us, making it efficient for power-sensitive monitoring. The output is highly flexible, supporting 5V tolerant I/O and up to 36V pull-up voltages regardless of the VCC supply level.

Applications

Threshold Detectors
Utilizing the 0.37mV low input offset voltage for precise signal monitoring and level detection.
Zero-Crossing Detectors
Exploiting the common-mode input range that includes ground for AC signal processing.
Logic Level Translation
Using the open-collector output to interface between different logic families such as TTL, MOS, and CMOS.
Window Comparators
Configuring both channels to monitor if a signal stays within a specific voltage range.

Getting Started

To implement this part, connect a pull-up resistor to the open-collector output to define the high-level logic voltage. Ensure the differential input voltage does not exceed the maximum rated supply voltage of 38V, and bypass the VCC pin with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor near the 8-TSSOP package pins.
