LM393P 개요

The Texas Instruments LM393P is a dual-channel differential comparator with open-collector outputs, housed in an 8-pin PDIP (P) through-hole package. The device contains two independent precision voltage comparators designed to operate from a single supply over a 2V to 36V range, or from dual supplies of ±1V to ±18V, with a typical response time of approximately 1.3 us and a propagation delay of 300 ns.

A voltage comparator is a fundamental analog building block that compares two input voltages and produces a digital logic-level output indicating which input is larger. Comparators belong to the broader category of analog comparators -> signal conditioning ICs -> amplifiers and comparators -> analog ICs -> semiconductors. The LM393 family is one of the industry's longest-standing and most widely second-sourced comparator designs, making the LM393P a staple in through-hole commercial, industrial, and educational designs. Open-collector outputs allow the user to define the output high level via an external pull-up resistor to any reference voltage, including a logic level different from VCC, enabling level shifting and OR-wired multi-comparator topologies.

Key features include a maximum input offset voltage of ±5 mV, an input bias current of 25 nA typical, a quiescent supply current of 0.4 mA typical (independent of supply voltage), and an open-collector output capable of sinking up to 16 mA. The wide supply range (2V to 36V single supply) and low input bias current make the LM393P well suited to direct interfacing with sensors, op-amp outputs, and TTL/CMOS logic families without additional level translation.

Each comparator channel consists of a low-offset differential input stage followed by an open-collector NPN output transistor. The output transistor is OFF when the non-inverting (+) input is at lower potential than the inverting (-) input, and saturates to pull the output LOW when + exceeds -. Designers commonly add an external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kohm to VCC) to establish the HIGH level, which is critical because an open-collector output cannot actively drive HIGH.

Typical applications include zero-crossing detectors, over/under-voltage monitors, battery low-detection circuits, window comparators, oscillators, Schmitt triggers, and sensor signal conditioning for industrial, automotive, and consumer designs. The LM393P's through-hole PDIP package supports breadboard prototyping, educational labs, and legacy through-hole PCB designs where surface-mount variants (LM393D, LM393DR) are unsuitable.

When designing with the LM393P, place a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin and ensure the pull-up resistor value is sized against the desired output rise time and load capacitance. Avoid driving the output above the maximum collector-emitter voltage of 36V and respect the absolute maximum input common-mode range of -0.3V to VCC to prevent input stage damage.

일반적인 애플리케이션

⚡

Zero-Crossing Detector

The LM393P is well suited to AC mains zero-crossing detection where its open-collector output drives a microcontroller interrupt input directly. With a 2V-36V supply range, the chip can be powered from a rectified 5V or 12V rail and accept the attenuated AC waveform on its non-inverting input via a resistor divider. The 1.3 us response time is adequate for 50/60 Hz mains detection, and the wide common-mode input range (0V to VCC-1.5V) allows direct coupling to the divided AC waveform without DC offsetting. Place a 10 kohm pull-up on the open-collector output tied to the MCU VCC to level-shift the logic-high reference independently of VCC.

🔋

Battery Low-Voltage Detector

The LM393P excels at single-cell or multi-cell battery low-voltage warning circuits because its wide 2V-36V supply accommodates everything from a 2-cell alkaline pack up to a 24V industrial battery. Connect a resistor divider from the battery to the inverting input and a stable reference (e.g., a TL431 or bandgap) to the non-inverting input; when Vbat falls below the threshold, the open-collector output pulls LOW and can sink an LED or enable a low-power warning transistor. The chip's 0.4 mA quiescent current minimizes drain on the battery itself, critical for long shelf-life applications. The 8-PDIP package supports through-hole battery-pack PCBAs where surface-mount parts are impractical.

🏭

Over/Under-Voltage Window Comparator

Two LM393P channels together form a window comparator that flags when a monitored rail falls outside an acceptable band, ideal for power-supply rails in industrial 24V or automotive 12V systems. One channel compares Vrail against an upper threshold; the second compares against a lower threshold; their open-collector outputs can be wire-ANDed to a single MCU alarm pin because the LM393P outputs are open-collector (multiple chips can share one pull-up). The 36V absolute maximum input common-mode and the 2V minimum supply let the LM393P monitor 5V, 12V, 15V, and 24V rails from the same chip without divider re-engineering. Add 100 kohm positive-feedback resistors around each comparator to create hysteresis of 50-200 mV if the monitored rail is noisy.

🔧

RC Oscillator / Square-Wave Generator

Two LM393P comparators plus an RC network form a low-cost square-wave oscillator in the 1 Hz to 100 kHz range, useful for clock generation, blinkers, and tone generators. With a single 5V supply, the comparator thresholds are set by the ratio of the timing resistor to the feedback network, and the duty cycle is adjustable via asymmetric resistor selection. The 300 ns propagation delay is small relative to the RC period and only contributes a minor timing error above 1 MHz. The dual-channel package lets one chip produce quadrature or complementary outputs directly, eliminating the need for a second IC.

🧩

Sensor Signal Conditioning (Light/Temperature)

The LM393P is the canonical comparator for photodiode, phototransistor, and thermistor-based sensor interfaces because the open-collector output can drive an MCU interrupt or LED directly without a buffering transistor. With a single 5V rail and a 10 kohm pull-up, the chip converts a high-impedance analog sensor signal into a clean CMOS logic-level output, with adjustable threshold set by a divider on the reference input. The 25 nA input bias current minimizes loading on high-impedance sensors, and the 0C to +70C commercial temperature range covers indoor IoT, appliance, and consumer-product sensor designs.

🔧

Schmitt Trigger / Hysteresis Comparator

Adding two positive-feedback resistors around one LM393P comparator creates a non-inverting Schmitt trigger with adjustable hysteresis from a few millivolts to several hundred millivolts, ideal for debouncing mechanical switches or cleaning up noisy sensor edges. The hysteresis band is set by the ratio of the feedback resistor to the input resistor, and the wide supply range (2V-36V) lets one chip work at 3.3V for digital logic or at 24V for industrial debouncing. Compared to a logic-gate Schmitt trigger (e.g., 74HC14), the LM393P has analog threshold control and lower output impedance in the LOW state (16 mA sink).

What is the supply voltage range of LM393P?
The LM393P operates from a single supply of 2V to 36V, or from dual supplies of ±1V to ±18V, per the Texas Instruments datasheet for the LM393/LM393B/LM2903B family. This wide range allows direct interface with 3.3V logic, 5V TTL, ±15V analog rails, and 24V industrial buses without level shifters.
How many comparators are inside the LM393P?
The LM393P integrates two independent voltage comparators in a single 8-pin PDIP package, per the TI LM393 family datasheet. Each comparator has its own differential inputs and open-collector output, allowing the chip to perform two simultaneous threshold-detect functions such as over-voltage and under-voltage monitoring from one IC.
Does the LM393P output swing to the positive supply rail?
No, the LM393P uses an open-collector NPN output that actively pulls LOW but cannot actively drive HIGH. According to the TI datasheet, an external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kohm to VCC or any reference up to 36V) is required to establish the output HIGH level. This allows level-shifting the logic high to a different rail than VCC.
What is the input offset voltage of the LM393P?
The LM393P has a maximum input offset voltage of ±5 mV at room temperature, per the TI datasheet. This is sufficient for general-purpose threshold detection, battery monitoring, and sensor interfaces but is wider than precision comparators such as the LM311 (2 mV) or modern LM393B (2 mV over temperature).
What is the propagation delay of the LM393P?
The LM393P propagation delay is approximately 300 ns, with a typical response time of 1.3 us. According to the TI datasheet, this makes it adequate for low-to-medium speed applications such as power supply monitors, zero-crossing detectors, and slow oscillators; for sub-microsecond signalling consider a faster comparator such as the TL3016 or LM393LV.
Where can I download the LM393P datasheet PDF?
The official LM393P datasheet is available from Texas Instruments at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm393.pdf, and the family datasheet covering LM193/LM293/LM393/LM393B/LM2903B is also hosted on ti.com. Third-party mirrors exist on alldatasheet.com, findic.us, and datasheet4u.com, but the ti.com PDF is the authoritative source for specifications and ordering information.
Where to buy LM393P online and what is the price?
As of 2026-10-21, LM393P is in stock at DigiKey (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/LM393P/277045) and Mouser (https://www.mouser.com/en/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/LM393P). Single-unit pricing is approximately $0.45, falling to $0.18 at 1000-piece quantities per current distributor listings; volume leads under 4 weeks in most regions.
Is the LM393P in stock today?
Yes, LM393P is currently in distributor stock at DigiKey and Mouser per their listing pages refreshed 2026-10-21. Lead times are typically same-day shipment for small quantities because the LM393 family is among the highest-volume dual comparators in the industry and is widely second-sourced.
What is the lead time for LM393P orders?
Stock-part lead time for the LM393P is typically same-day to 5 business days for qty 1-1000 from DigiKey and Mouser, per their catalog pages. For full-reel or 5000+ piece factory orders through TI directly, lead times extend to 6-10 weeks. The 8-PDIP package is the standard long-lifecycle form factor.
What is the difference between LM393P and LM393N?
Both LM393P and LM393N are the TI dual comparator in 8-pin PDIP; the suffix letter (P vs N) historically indicated different fab/assembly sites but the electrical specifications are identical, per the TI LM393 family datasheet and FindIC comparison table. Engineers can treat P and N as drop-in equivalents with no design changes required.
What is the best drop-in replacement for LM393P?
The best pin-for-pin drop-in replacements for LM393P include the LM393N (same TI family, identical spec), LM393AP (TI enhanced low-offset grade), and LM2903P (TI industrial -40C to +125C temperature range). All three share the 8-PDIP footprint per the TI datasheet ordering guide, allowing direct solder replacement on the same PCB.
LM393P vs LM358D - which is better for voltage monitoring?
For voltage monitoring with a hard threshold and digital output, the LM393P (dual comparator with open-collector output) is the better choice because it produces a clean logic output with no feedback network. The LM358D is an op-amp requiring external hysteresis resistors and has no open-collector output; the LM393P needs far fewer external parts and lower quiescent current (0.4 mA vs the LM358D's 0.7 mA per channel).
Can LM2903P replace LM393P directly?
Yes, the LM2903P is a pin-compatible drop-in replacement for the LM393P, extending the operating temperature range from 0C/+70C to -40C/+125C, per the TI LM393/LM2903 family datasheet. All electrical parameters are identical except for the wider temperature grade, making it the preferred choice for automotive, industrial, or outdoor applications where the commercial-grade LM393P is outside its rated temperature window.
When should I choose LM393P over a modern LM393LV?
Choose the original LM393P (8-PDIP, through-hole) when a through-hole breadboard-friendly package is required for prototyping, legacy PCB rework, or educational lab use. Choose the LM393LV when you need a CMOS low-voltage (1.8V-5.5V) surface-mount comparator with 600 ns propagation delay for battery-powered IoT designs; the LM393P needs at least 2V supply and is a bipolar BJT design.
What are the key specifications of LM393P that engineers should know?
Engineers key on five LM393P specifications per the TI datasheet: 2V-36V single supply, ±5 mV input offset, 0.4 mA quiescent current, open-collector output requiring an external pull-up resistor, and 1.3 us response time. These determine suitability for battery low detection, sensor thresholding, and zero-crossing detectors in commercial-temperature designs.

선택 가이드

Choose the LM393P when you need a through-hole, dual-channel open-collector comparator for breadboard prototyping, educational labs, or commercial-temperature industrial designs. Pick the LM393N as a direct second-source substitute with identical specifications and the same 8-PDIP package. For designs operating below 0C or above +70C (automotive, outdoor industrial, military), choose the LM2903P industrial-grade variant. For sub-millivolt threshold accuracy choose the LM393AP enhanced-grade version. For battery-powered IoT designs under 5.5V supply, switch to the modern CMOS LM393LV (surface-mount 1.8V-5.5V) for 20x lower quiescent current. All parts share the identical 8-pin PDIP pinout at the through-hole level (with minor suffix variations).

설계 노트

Estimated: Quiescent current of 0.4 mA plus up to 16 mA output sink load gives a typical supply current of 0.4-16.4 mA per LM393P. Use a 100 mA LDO or supply rail rated well above this; do not derive VCC from a high-impedance source. Place a 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor on the VCC pin (pin 4) with trace length under 5 mm to ground (pin 8) to suppress switching noise; add a 10 uF bulk capacitor near the supply if the rail is shared with motors or relays.

The open-collector output CANNOT drive HIGH on its own - omitting the external pull-up resistor will leave the output floating HIGH at undefined voltage, causing spurious MCU interrupts and unreliable logic-level detection. Use a pull-up between 1 kohm and 100 kohm tied to a logic-level rail up to 36V. Also: the input common-mode range only extends from 0V to VCC-1.5V; do not apply signals below GND or above VCC, as this forward-biases the ESD diodes and may damage the part.

For breadboard and through-hole layouts using the LM393P 8-PDIP, keep input traces short to reduce noise pickup, especially for high-impedance sensor inputs. Place the 0.1 uF decoupling cap on pin 4 with the ground side returning directly to pin 8 to minimize ground bounce. If designing a precision comparator circuit with sub-millivolt threshold accuracy, use a guard ring around the high-impedance input node driven at the same potential to eliminate leakage currents from the PCB surface.

Estimated: input bias current of 25 nA flowing through a 1 Mohm source impedance creates a 25 mV error, comparable to the 5 mV offset voltage. If the source impedance exceeds 100 kohm, switch to a CMOS comparator (LM393LV, LMV331) with sub-nA bias current or buffer the LM393P input with an op-amp follower. For switching at higher frequencies, the 300 ns propagation delay contributes an offset of 300 ns * dV/dt on the input; mitigate this by choosing faster parts (TLV3201, LM393LV) above 100 kHz.
