7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM393-MIL is a dual comparator with the ability to operate up to 36 V on the supply pin. This standard device has proven ubiquity and versatility across a wide range of applications. This is due to very wide supply voltages range (2 V to 36 V), low Iq and fast response of the devices.

The open-drain output allows the user to configure the output logic low voltage (VOL) and can be used to enable the comparator to be used in AND functionality.

7.3 Feature Description

LM393-MIL consists of a PNP darlington pair input, allowing the device to operate with very high gain and fast response with minimal input bias current. The input Darlington pair creates a limit on the input common mode voltage capability, allowing LM393-MIL to accurately function from ground to VCC–1.5V differential input. This enables much head room for modern day supplies of 3.3 V and 5 V.

The output consists of an open drain NPN (pull-down or low side) transistor. The output NPN will sink current when the positive input voltage is higher than the negative input voltage and the offset voltage. The VOL is resistive and will scale with the output current. See Figure 3 for VOL values with respect to the output current.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Voltage Comparison

The LM393-MIL operates solely as a voltage comparator, comparing the differential voltage between the positive and negative pins and outputting a logic low or high impedance (logic high with pullup) based on the input differential polarity.
