The LM339N from Texas Instruments is a quad differential comparator designed for general-purpose applications. Housed in a 14-pin DIP package, this active RoHS3-compliant IC operates over a wide supply voltage range (2V to 30V single supply or ±1V to 15V dual supply), making it versatile for various circuit designs. With a low input bias current (0.25µA max @ 5V) and minimal quiescent current (2.5mA max), it ensures efficient power consumption. The device exhibits a maximum input offset voltage of 5mV @ 30V, ensuring precision in comparison tasks. Its through-hole mounting and non-MSLA (Moisture Sensitivity Level) status simplify handling and integration.
The LM339N excels in analog signal processing, voltage monitoring, and threshold detection systems. Key applications include:
The LM339N stands out for its versatility, low-power operation, and high accuracy, making it a preferred choice for comparator-based designs. Its quad-channel integration reduces component count, while the wide supply range accommodates diverse applications—from automotive to industrial systems. Texas Instruments’ reliability and compliance with global standards further solidify its position as a go-to solution for engineers seeking a cost-effective, high-performance comparator IC.
