LM139/LM239/LM339/LM2901/LM3302

Low Power Low Offset Voltage Quad Comparators

General Description

The LM139 series consists of four independent precision

voltage comparators with an offset voltage specification as

low as 2 mV max for all four comparators. These were

designed specifically to operate from a single power supply

over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power

supplies is also possible and the low power supply current

drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply

voltage. These comparators also have a unique

characteristic in that the input common-mode voltage range

includes ground, even though operated from a single power

supply voltage.

Application areas include limit comparators, simple analog to

digital converters; pulse, squarewave and time delay

generators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers;

multivibrators and high voltage digital logic gates. The

LM139 series was designed to directly interface with TTL

and CMOS. When operated from both plus and minus power

supplies, they will directly interface with MOS logic— where

the low power drain of the LM339 is a distinct advantage

over standard comparators.

Note 1: For operating at high temperatures, the LM339/LM339A, LM2901, LM3302 must be derated based on a 125˚C maximum junction temperature and a

thermal resistance of 95˚C/W which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The LM239 and LM139 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.

Note 2: 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+.

Note 3: 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 −0.3 VDC (at 25˚)C.

Note 4: These specifications are limited to −55˚C≤TA≤+125˚C, for the LM139/LM139A. With the LM239/LM239A, all temperature specifications are limited to

−25˚C≤TA≤+85˚C, the LM339/LM339A temperature specifications are limited to 0˚C≤TA≤+70˚C, and the LM2901, LM3302 temperature range is −40˚C≤TA≤+85˚C.

Note 5: The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the outputso

no loading change exists on the reference or input lines.

Note 6: The input common-mode voltage or either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the common-mode

voltage range is V+−1.5V at 25˚C, but either or both inputs can go to +30 VDC without damage (25V for LM3302), independent of the magnitude of V+.

Note 7: The response time specified is a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals 300 ns can be obtained, see typical performance

characteristics section.

Note 8: 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 −0.3 VDC (or 0.3 VDCbelow the magnitude of the negative power

supply, if used) (at 25˚C).

Note 9: At output switch point, VO.1.4 VDC,R

=0Ωwith V+from 5 VDC to 30 VDC; and over the full input common-mode range (0 VDC to V+−1.5 VDC), at 25˚C.

For LM3302, V+from 5 VDC to 28 VDC.

Typical Performance Characteristics LM2901 (Continued)

Application Hints

The LM139 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

changes 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 this input

resistors to <10 kΩreduces the feedback signal levels and

finally, adding even a small amount (1 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 pins of any unused comparators should be tied to the

negative supply.

The bias network of the LM139 series establishes a drain

current which is independent of the magnitude of the power

supply voltage over the range of from 2 V

to 30 V

It is usually unnecessary to use a bypass capacitor across

the power supply line.

The differential input voltage may be larger than V

without

damaging the device. Protection should be provided to

prevent the input voltages from going negative more than

−0.3 V

(at 25˚C). An input clamp diode can be used as

shown in the applications section.

The output of the LM139 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 pull-up 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 LM139A package. The output can also be used as a

simple SPST switch to ground (when a pull-up resistor is not

used). The amount of current which the output device can

sink is limited by the drive available (which is independent of

) and the βof this device. When the maximum current limit

is reached (approximately 16 mA), 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 60ΩR

SAT

of the output transistor. The low

offset voltage of the output transistor (1 mV) allows the

output to clamp essentially to ground level for small load

currents.
