Overview

The LM339ADBR is a quad independent precision voltage comparator designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages from 2V to 30V. It features an open-collector output stage, allowing for easy level shifting and wired-AND logic configurations in multi-channel monitoring systems. This version is the A-grade variant, which offers a tighter maximum input offset voltage of 3mV for more precise threshold detection.

Why Choose This Part

The quad-channel configuration provides high functional density in a compact 14-SSOP package, reducing board space requirements. Its wide supply range and low quiescent current of 2.5mA make it versatile for both battery-powered and industrial 24V rail applications.

Applications

Limit Comparators
Monitoring sensor voltages against a fixed reference to trigger alarms or logic state changes.
Level Translators
Using the open-collector output to interface low-voltage logic with higher voltage systems up to 36V.
Oscillator Circuits
Implementing square wave generators or pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers with minimal external components.
Window Comparators
Combining two channels to detect if a signal remains within a specific voltage range.

Getting Started

When designing with the LM339ADBR, ensure a pull-up resistor is connected to the open-collector output to establish the desired high-level logic voltage. Since the device is a standard comparator without internal hysteresis, engineers should include external positive feedback to prevent output oscillations when processing slow-moving input signals.
