(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur. Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions
for which the device is intended to be functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
(2) Refer to RETS193AX for LM193AH military specifications and to RETS193X for LM193H military specifications.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the TI Sales Office/Distributors for availability and specifications.
(4) Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common-mode
range, the comparator will provide a proper output state. The low input voltage state must not be less than −0.3V (or 0.3V below the
magnitude of the negative power supply, if used).
(5) This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of
the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is
also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the comparators to go
to the V+voltage level (or to ground for a large overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive
and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than −0.3V.
(6) For operating at high temperatures, the LM393 and LM2903 must be derated based on a 125°C maximum junction temperature and a
thermal resistance of 170°C/W which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The
LM193/LM193A/LM293 must be derated based on a 150°C maximum junction temperature. The low bias dissipation and the “ON-OFF”
characteristic of the outputs keeps the chip dissipation very small (PD≤100 mW), provided the output transistors are allowed to saturate.
(7) Short circuits from the output to V+can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground,
the maximum output current is approximately 20 mA independent of the magnitude of V+.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM139 provides two independently functioning, high-precision, low VOS drift, low input bias current
comparators in a single package. The low power consumption of 0.4mA at 5V and the 2.0V supply operation
makes the LM139 suitable for battery powered applications.
8.2 Functional Block Diagram
Figure 11. Basic Comparator
8.3 Feature Description
The input bias current of 25 nA enables the LM193 to use even very high impedance nodes as inputs. The
differential voltage input range equals the supply voltage range.
The LM193 can be operated with a single supply, where V+ can be from 2.0 V to 36 V, or in a dual supply
voltage configuration, where GND pin is used as a V– supply. The supply current draws only 0.4 mA for both
comparators.
The output of each comparator in the LM193 is the open collector of a grounded-emitter NPN output transistor
which can typically draw up to 16mA.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
A basic comparator circuit is used for converting analog signals to a digital output. The output is HIGH when the
voltage on the non-inverting (+IN) input is greater than the inverting (-IN) input. The output is LOW when the
voltage on the non-inverting (+IN) input is less than the inverting (-IN) input. The inverting input (-IN) is also
commonly referred to as the "reference" or "VREF" input. All pins of any unused comparators should be tied to
the negative supply.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LM193 series are high gain, wide bandwidth devices which, like most comparators, can easily oscillate if the
output lead is inadvertently allowed to capacitively couple to the inputs via stray capacitance. This shows up only
during the output voltage transition intervals as the comparator change states. Power supply bypassing is not
required to solve this problem. Standard PC board layout is helpful as it reduces stray input-output coupling.
Reducing the input resistors to < 10 kΩreduces the feedback signal levels and finally, adding even a small
amount (1.0 to 10 mV) of positive feedback (hysteresis) causes such a rapid transition that oscillations due to
stray feedback are not possible. Simply socketing the IC and attaching resistors to the pins will cause input-
output oscillations during the small transition intervals unless hysteresis is used. If the input signal is a pulse
waveform, with relatively fast rise and fall times, hysteresis is not required.
All input pins of any unused comparators should be tied to the negative supply.
The bias network of the LM193 series establishes a drain current which is independent of the magnitude of the
power supply voltage over the range of from 2.0 VDC to 30 VDC.
The differential input voltage may be larger than V+without damaging the deviceTypical Applications . Protection
should be provided to prevent the input voltages from going negative more than −0.3 VDC (at 25°C). An input
clamp diode can be used as shown in Typical Applications .
The output of the LM193 series is the uncommitted collector of a grounded-emitter NPN output transistor. Many
collectors can be tied together to provide an output OR'ing function. An output pullup resistor can be connected
to any available power supply voltage within the permitted supply voltage range and there is no restriction on this
voltage due to the magnitude of the voltage which is applied to the V+terminal of the LM193 package. The
output can also be used as a simple SPST switch to ground (when a pullup resistor is not used). The amount of
current which the output device can sink is limited by the drive available (which is independent of V+) and the β
of this device. When the maximum current limit is reached (approximately 16mA), the output transistor will come
out of saturation and the output voltage will rise very rapidly. The output saturation voltage is limited by the
approximately 60ΩrSAT of the output transistor. The low offset voltage of the output transistor (1.0mV) allows the
output to clamp essentially to ground level for small load currents.
9.2 Typical Applications
9.2.1 Basic Comparator
Figure 12. Basic Comparator
9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The basic usage of a comparator is to indicate when a specific analog signal has exceeded some predefined
threshold. In this application, the negative input (IN–) is tied to a reference voltage, and the positive input (IN+) is
connected to the input signal. The output is pulled up with a resistor to the logic supply voltage, V+ with a pullup
resistor.
For an example application, the supply voltage is 5V. The input signal varies between 1 V and 3 V, and we want
to know when the input exceeds 2.5 V±1%. The supply current draw should not exceed 1 mA.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
First, we determine the biasing for the 2.5-V reference. With the 5-V supply voltage, we would use a voltage
divider consisting of one resistor from the supply to IN- and an second resistor from IN–. The 25 nA of input
current bias should be < 1% of the bias current for Vref. With a 100-kΩresistor from IN– to V+ and an additional
100-KΩresistor from IN– to ground, there would be 25 µA of current through the two resistors. The 3-kΩpullup
shown will need 5 V/3 kΩ → 1.67 mA, which exceeds our current budget.
With the 400-µA supply current and 25 µA of VREF bias current, there is 575 µA remaining for output pullup
resistor; with 5-V supply, we need a pullup larger than 8.7 kΩ. A 10-kΩpullup is a value that is commonly
available and can be used here.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Even in low frequency applications, the LM139-N can have internal transients which are extremely quick. For this
reason, bypassing the power supply with 1.0μF to ground will provide improved performance; the supply bypass
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the supply pin and have a solid connection to ground. The
bypass capacitor should have a low ESR and also a SRF greater than 50MHz.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Try to minimize parasitic impedances on the inputs to avoid oscillation. Any positive feedback used as hysteresis
should place the feedback components as close as possible to the input pins. Care should be taken to ensure
that the output pins do not couple to the inputs. This can occur through capacitive coupling if the traces are too
close and lead to oscillations on the output. The optimum placement for the bypass capacitor is closest to the V+
and ground pins. Take care to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connection between V+
and ground. The ground pin should be connected to the PCB ground plane at the pin of the device. The
feedback components should be placed as close to the device as possible minimizing strays.
