Overview

The LM2903PWR is a dual independent precision voltage comparator designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages from 2V to 36V. It features an open-collector output stage that is compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic levels, making it a versatile choice for basic level detection and signal conditioning.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a wide supply range and a common-mode input voltage range that includes ground, allowing for direct sensing near 0V even in single-supply configurations. Its low output saturation voltage and 20mA typical output current capability provide reliable interfacing with digital logic and small relays.

Applications

Limit Comparators
Monitoring signal levels against a reference voltage to trigger alarms or system shutdowns.
Zero-Crossing Detectors
Identifying when an AC signal crosses the 0V threshold for timing or synchronization circuits.
Voltage Window Detectors
Using both comparator elements to determine if a signal is within a specific voltage range.
Oscillators
Configuring the device with external RC networks to create square wave generators.

Getting Started

When designing with the LM2903PWR, ensure a pull-up resistor is connected to the open-collector output to establish the high-level logic voltage. For rapid prototyping, this TSSOP-8 package is compatible with standard SMT-to-DIP adapter boards for use with breadboards or perfboards.
