LM393PS - Dual Open-Collector Comparator | Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments LM393PS is a commercial-grade, dual differential comparator in an 8-pin SOIC package. The device contains two independent comparator channels, supports rail-to-rail input operation, and uses open-collector outputs for flexible interfacing with pull-up resistors, wired logic, lamps, relays, and other open-collector loads. Its 8-pin SOIC package supports conventional surface-mount assembly and is the standard package used for the LM393PS ordering option.
A comparator is an analog integrated circuit that compares two input voltages and produces a logic-level indication of their relationship. In a wider power-management hierarchy, the LM393PS belongs to the comparator family, which sits alongside amplifiers, voltage references, and analog-to-digital converters as core signal-conditioning and control building blocks. Differential comparison is especially useful when a design must determine whether a measured signal is above or below a threshold.
Each LM393PS channel provides independent access to its non-inverting and inverting inputs, while the two open-collector outputs can be used separately or, where appropriate, externally wired together. Open-collector outputs can sink current but do not actively drive a high voltage, so external pull-up resistors are normally required. This architecture is useful for wired-AND behavior, level translation, and compatibility with systems using pull-up or pull-down logic networks.
The manufacturer documentation lists features associated with the LM393 family, including a maximum rating up to 38 V, an ESD rating of 2 kV HBM, low input offset voltage of 0.37 mV, low input bias current of 3.5 nA, low supply current of 200 µA per comparator, and a response time of 1 µs. These characteristics apply to the relevant B-version family ratings identified in the manufacturer documentation and should be checked against the operating-temperature grade and exact ordering option used in a production design.
Typical applications include battery-powered threshold detection, sensor signal conditioning, industrial control logic, power-supply supervision, window-comparator circuits, and relay or LED indication. In battery-powered equipment, the low supply current helps reduce standby consumption, while the wide input-voltage capability supports a broader range of industrial supply environments. The open-collector output also permits the system designer to select the external pull-up voltage independently from the comparator supply.
A key design consideration is the input common-mode range. Although the device is described as rail-to-rail for input operation, designers should verify the exact LM393PS electrical limits and operating conditions in the Texas Instruments datasheet. Pull-up resistor values must balance low output leakage, usable sink current, rise time, and system power consumption. For new layouts, reserve the unused comparator channel for test access rather than leaving its inputs floating.
This product page organizes the LM393PS specifications, package information, application guidance, comparison parameters, and engineering notes into one design reference. It emphasizes practical decisions around input thresholds, output pull-ups, supply bypassing, unused channels, and drop-in replacement evaluation rather than repeating only the ordering-table information.
