LM339NE3 - 36V Quad Open-Collector Comparator | Texas Instruments
Teilenummer: LM339NE3 ✓ AktivLM339NE3 Übersicht
A comparator is an analog interface IC that compares two input voltages and produces a logic-level indication of their relationship. The LM339 belongs to the broader comparator hierarchy and operates as a general-purpose signal-conditioning component between sensor, reference, and digital-control stages. Its common-mode input range includes ground, allowing the device to monitor signals referenced to a negative rail in dual-supply systems.
Four independent comparators are integrated into one package, reducing component count on boards that require multiple threshold or window-detection functions. The open-collector output architecture can sink logic-level current while normally leaving the output transistor off, which supports wired-AND behavior when several outputs share a pull-up resistor. The output stage is compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic according to the manufacturer product information.
The low 200 µA supply current per comparator supports low-power monitoring systems, while the 1 µs response time provides useful speed for supply sequencing, overvoltage detection, and fast control loops. Input offset voltage determines how close the two inputs must be before the output changes state, while input bias current affects the impedance presented to the sensing circuit. The common-mode range and differential input limits must both be checked in high-voltage systems.
Typical uses include battery monitoring, power-supply sequencing, overvoltage and undervoltage detection, window comparators, sensor thresholding, relay-control logic, and industrial control systems. The open-collector outputs are particularly useful when multiple detector channels must indicate one combined fault condition. A suitable pull-up resistor is required for normal digital-logic operation because the outputs do not actively drive a high voltage.
For reliable PCB design, keep input traces away from switching-power nodes, place the pull-up resistor close to the open-collector output, and decouple the supply connection locally. Designers should verify input and output limits under worst-case supply, temperature, and common-mode conditions. The DIP package is suitable for through-hole assembly, prototyping, and applications that favor easy inspection or manual replacement.

Typische Anwendungen
LM339NE3 ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Battery Voltage Monitoring, Industrial Overvoltage Protection, Power-Supply Sequencing, Sensor Threshold Detection, Window Comparator, Relay and Latch Control.
Battery Voltage Monitoring
The LM339NE3 fits battery-pack monitoring because each comparator can compare a divided cell voltage against a precise reference or another divided rail. Its 0.37 mV low input offset helps reduce threshold error, while 3.5 nA input bias current limits loading on high-impedance dividers. The 1 µs response time supports rapid overvoltage or undervoltage detection. In a multi-cell pack, four channels can monitor individual thresholds or implement window comparisons. Because the outputs are open collector, separate pull-up resistors can establish local logic levels, and multiple fault outputs can share a bus when the combined sink current remains within limits. The sensing nodes must stay within the common-mode and differential input ranges.
Industrial Overvoltage Protection
The LM339NE3 is appropriate for industrial overvoltage and undervoltage protection because it combines four differential channels with a 2 V to 36 V single-supply range. Each channel can compare a scaled power rail with a reference and produce a fault signal when the threshold is crossed. Its 1 µs response time helps minimize the interval between fault detection and control action, while the low 200 µA supply current per comparator limits overhead in distributed monitoring circuits. The open-collector outputs can drive discrete protection hardware or a common fault input with a suitable pull-up arrangement. Engineers must verify the common-mode voltage, input transients, output sink current, and isolation requirements under industrial fault conditions.
Power-Supply Sequencing
The LM339NE3 can supervise multiple supply rails in a power-sequencing circuit by comparing divided rail voltages against references derived from earlier stages. The four integrated channels reduce the number of discrete components needed for rail-order control, and the 1 µs response time allows sequencing decisions to follow supply ramps closely. Its common-mode range including ground is useful for the first rail in a negative or ground-referenced monitoring chain. The open-collector outputs support wired-AND fault collection or individual enable requests when paired with pull-up resistors. Timing capacitors and threshold networks must be selected from the manufacturer application guidance, and designers should test startup, fault, and discharge behavior across supply tolerances.
Sensor Threshold Detection
The LM339NE3 suits low-frequency sensor thresholding where a signal must be converted into a logic decision without the noise of an amplifying analog chain. Its 0.37 mV offset and 3.5 nA bias current can improve threshold accuracy in high-impedance sensor circuits, while four channels allow multiple temperature, pressure, or level thresholds on one board. The 1 µs response time is sufficient for many industrial and consumer monitoring loops that are not limited by high-speed propagation. Use the common-mode range to determine whether resistive dividers or level shifting are needed, and place the sensing paths away from switching nodes. The output pull-up voltage and sink current should match the logic family connected to each open-collector pin.
Window Comparator
The LM339NE3 can implement two-channel window-comparison functions using pairs of differential comparators referenced to upper and lower thresholds. This arrangement is useful for detecting when a measured voltage is neither too low nor too high. The low input offset voltage helps narrow the decision band around the reference thresholds, and the four available channels leave flexibility for two complete windows. Open-collector outputs can be combined through a shared pull-up to indicate an out-of-range condition, although the logic truth table must account for the inverted nature of comparator outputs. Reference accuracy, divider tolerance, input offset, propagation delay, and supply drift determine the practical window width, so each element should be included in worst-case error analysis.
Relay and Latch Control
The LM339NE3 can control relay drivers, alarm latches, and discrete logic stages by converting an analog threshold into an open-collector output. The output can sink the current required by a compatible driver stage while an external pull-up determines the inactive logic level. Four independent channels support multiple threshold events, and the 1 µs response time provides prompt action for protection and interlock circuits. For relay systems, the pull-up and driver transistor must be sized for coil-interface requirements, while the comparator supply should be decoupled near the device. Confirm the output sink rating, input signal limits, and isolation strategy before using the LM339NE3 where the controlled voltage or current exceeds the device's stated conditions.

- Fast 1 µs response for protection and sequencing loops (vs. LM2901N)
Designhinweise
Place each open-collector pull-up resistor close to the corresponding LM339NE3 output to minimize trace inductance and coupling into adjacent sensing lines. Connect the device supply and ground pins to a low-impedance plane or short routed path, and place local bypass capacitance at the supply pins. Keep comparator input traces away from relay coils, switching inductors, and power-converter nodes. The through-hole package provides ample routing space, but input paths should still avoid parallel runs with high-current outputs.
Do not treat the open-collector output as a push-pull logic output. A pull-up resistor is required to establish the high voltage, and its value must satisfy the input current of the connected CMOS, MOS, or TTL load without exceeding the comparator's output sink capability. Also verify that every input remains within both the common-mode and differential limits. The input common-mode range includes ground, but that feature does not remove the need to check the positive input limit.
For low-level threshold detection, include the effects of input offset voltage, divider resistance, bias current, noise, and reference tolerance rather than relying on the nominal 0.37 mV offset alone. Keep the two inputs of a comparator on similar impedance levels when possible to reduce propagation-delay shifts caused by unequal bias-current effects. For switching applications, use hysteresis to prevent output chatter when the sensed signal crosses the threshold slowly.
Budget four channels at the manufacturer's stated 200 µA per comparator before adding input-divider and pull-up currents. A practical calculation is Estimated: 4 channels × 200 µA = 800 µA device supply current before external network loading. Select the pull-up to balance low supply current against rise-time requirements, and confirm that the pull-up voltage remains within the output and logic-system limits.
