LM393DG - Dual Precision Comparator | onsemi | SOIC-8
N.º da peça: LM393DG ✗ Fim de vidaLM393DG Visão geral
A voltage comparator is an analog integrated circuit that compares two input voltages and changes its output state when the difference crosses a defined threshold. In the broader semiconductor hierarchy, a comparator belongs to the amplifier and signal-conditioning IC family, where it connects analog sensing functions to digital control, protection, and switching systems. The LM393DG combines two independent comparators in one package, reducing component count and simplifying dual-threshold or dual-channel designs.
Key features include input offset voltage as low as 2.0 mV, single or split supply operation, and output compatibility with CMOS, DTL, ECL, MOS, and TTL logic families. Its open-collector outputs allow wired logic, level translation, or operation with an external pull-up resistor. A 1.3 µs response time supports applications where the comparator must resolve changing input conditions without the delay of a slower monitoring device.
The LM393 series is designed for consumer, automotive, and industrial electronics, including threshold detection, sensor conditioning, window comparison, overvoltage indication, and relay or power-control interfaces. Each channel can operate from a single positive supply or from split supplies when the required input and output reference conditions permit it. Independent channels also allow different thresholds and switching functions within one package.
Common-mode range to ground makes the device useful with low-voltage sensors whose signals remain near the lower supply rail. The output stage is open collector rather than push-pull, so every output requires a pull-up resistor unless it is intentionally wired together. Confirm the pull-up voltage, output sink-current requirements, input common-mode limits, and system grounding before finalizing a design.
For robust layouts, keep input traces short, place bypass capacitance close to the supply pin, and isolate high-current switching nodes from comparator inputs. The SOIC-8 footprint simplifies through-hole assembly and PCB prototyping, while the open-collector outputs require careful pull-up placement to minimize switching noise and propagation delay.
This page combines the LM393DG electrical characteristics, lifecycle status, drop-in replacement options, pinout, comparison data, and practical circuit guidance to support component selection and board-level implementation. It also identifies the operating parameters and sourcing facts that should be checked against the manufacturer datasheet before production release.

Aplicações típicas
LM393DG é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Industrial Threshold Detection, Battery Voltage Monitoring, Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection, Sensor Signal Conditioning, Open-Collector Logic Interfaces, Consumer and Automotive Equipment.
Industrial Threshold Detection
The LM393DG is appropriate for industrial threshold detection because it combines a 2.0 mV minimum input offset voltage with a 1.3 µs response time in two independent channels. Place the signal under test on one input and a precision reference on the other, then use the open-collector output to trigger a control signal. The common-mode range extending to ground supports sensors whose useful output lies near the lower rail. Because the output is open collector, fit a suitable pull-up resistor and verify its voltage against the receiving logic. For new designs, compare the obsolete LM393DG with LM393DR2G to confirm grade and sourcing requirements.
Recomendado
Battery Voltage Monitoring
The LM393DG can monitor a battery-derived voltage against a fixed or adjustable reference because its 2 V to 36 V operating range accommodates many single-cell and multi-cell measurement interfaces. The 2.0 mV minimum offset voltage helps preserve threshold accuracy, while the ground-reaching common-mode range supports low-side sensing. Connect the comparator output to a pull-up and use it to signal a charger controller, load switch, or host input. Account for battery chemistry, tolerance drift, input bias error, and open-collector pull-up current. For new battery-management builds, LM393DR2G is the more lifecycle-practical onsemi starting point.
Recomendado
Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection
The two independent LM393DG channels support window monitoring in which one comparator detects an upper threshold and the other detects a lower threshold. The 1.3 µs response time allows the outputs to react to changing supply conditions, while the 2 V to 36 V operating range supports a broad class of protected rails. Use each open-collector output with its own pull-up or combine the outputs when wired logic is intended. Design the divider and reference network for worst-case tolerance, and verify that the monitored voltage remains inside the comparator common-mode range. LM393DR2G is the preferred onsemi candidate when an active sourcing path is required.
Recomendado
Sensor Signal Conditioning
The LM393DG can convert a low-level sensor output into a digital threshold event, making it useful for resistive, inductive, or switching sensors. Its common-mode input range extending to ground is valuable when the sensor output lies near the lower supply rail, and the 2.0 mV minimum offset voltage supports close threshold comparisons. The open-collector output can drive an MCU input, indicator circuit, or relay-control stage through a pull-up. Keep sensor traces short and separate them from switching nodes to prevent false triggering. Before production, verify input bias current, noise, hysteresis strategy, and whether a Schmitt-trigger stage is required for noisy signals.
Recomendado
Open-Collector Logic Interfaces
The LM393DG's open-collector output is useful when a system must support wired logic, level translation, or a pull-up voltage selected by the designer. The output is compatible with CMOS, DTL, ECL, MOS, and TTL logic families according to the manufacturer datasheet, giving the device broad interfacing utility. Place the pull-up resistor close to the receiving input when propagation timing matters, and confirm the comparator's sink-current capability at the selected voltage. The dual-channel configuration can implement two wired nodes or complementary conditions. Since LM393DG is obsolete, verify that LM393DR2G retains the required output-current and logic-level specifications before releasing a new board.
Recomendado
Consumer and Automotive Equipment
The onsemi LM393 datasheet identifies consumer, automotive, and industrial electronics as intended application areas, making the LM393DG suitable for general-purpose decision circuits in those systems. Its two independent channels can handle separate warning or control thresholds, while single or split supply operation supports different power arrangements. For automotive production, however, do not infer AEC-Q100 qualification from the family description alone; the exact onsemi ordering code must be verified. For consumer and industrial builds, compare LM393DR2G and LM393NG to identify the appropriate temperature grade and active manufacturing path while retaining the SOIC-8 footprint.

Notas de projeto
Do not treat the LM393 open-collector output as a push-pull output. Each output requires an external pull-up unless the design intentionally uses wired logic. Select the pull-up voltage within the receiving device's input limits, verify the comparator sink-current capability, and place the resistor close to the load when fast transitions or long PCB traces could increase propagation delay.
Keep the two differential input pairs short and route them away from switching nodes, relay coils, inductors, and high-current return paths. Connect the supply bypass capacitor directly to pins 8 and 4, with the ground return kept short. If the inputs are sensitive, use a compact reference divider and avoid sharing a long ground trace with high-current loads.
An LM393 comparator can chatter when the differential input crosses the threshold slowly or when noise appears near the reference. Add controlled positive feedback for hysteresis, maintain adequate input overdrive, and avoid routing sensitive inputs next to the open-collector output and pull-up network. Validate the switching point over temperature, supply tolerance, and component tolerance rather than relying on a nominal threshold alone.
Because LM393DG is obsolete, do not release a new PCB around remaining inventory without a formal second-source plan. Review LM393DR2G first for same-manufacturer continuity, then compare LM393NG, LM393M, LM393D, and the TI LM393 against the original approved specification. Check temperature grade, electrical limits, qualification, marking, and source traceability rather than relying only on the SOIC-8 footprint.
Informações de conformidade
The manufacturer datasheet identifies consumer, automotive, and industrial applications, but this does not establish AEC-Q100 qualification for the exact LM393DG ordering code. RoHS, REACH, lead-free, halogen-free, and conflict-minerals status require confirmation from the manufacturer's current material-compliance records.
