Low Power Low Offset Voltage Quad Comparators
General Description
The LM139 series consists of four independent precision volt-
age 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 indepen-
dent 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 gener-
ators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers; multivibrators and
high voltage digital logic gates. The LM139 series was de-
signed to directly interface with TTL and CMOS. When oper-
ated from both plus and minus power supplies, they will
directly interface with MOS logic— where the low power drain
of the LM139/LM139A is a distinct advantage over standard
comparators.

Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guaranteed specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see, the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 3: 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 4: 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 5: The low bias dissipation and the ON-OFF characteristics of the outputs keeps the chip dissipation very small (PD 100mW), provided the output transistors
are allowed to saturate.
Note 6: 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 output
so no loading change exists on the reference or input lines.
Note 7: 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 for Subgroup 1, or V+ −2.0V for Subgroup 2 & 3. Either or both inputs can go to +30 VDC without damage, independent of the
magnitude of V+.
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: Parameter guaranteed by VIO tests
Note 10: The value for VDiff is not data logged during Read and Record.
Note 11: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics except as listed in the “Post Radiation Limits” table.
These parts may be dose rate sensitive in a space environment and demonstrate enhanced low dose rate effect. Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters
are guaranteed only for the conditions as specified in Mil-Std-883, Method 1019, Condition A.
Note 12: SMD 5962–8773901 only
Note 13: Human Body model, 1.5 KΩ in series with 100 pF
Note 14: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (Package
junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PDmax = (TJmax — TA) /
θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.
Note 15: Low dose rate testing has been performed on a wafer-by-wafer basis, per test method 1019, condition D, MIL-STD-883, with no enhanced low dose
rate sensitivity (ELDRS) effect. Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics, except as listed in the “Post
Radiation Limits” table. Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters are guaranteed for only the conditions as specified in MIL-STD-883, Method 1019,
condition D.

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 in-
puts 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 kΩ reduces the feedback signal levels and finally, adding
even a small amount (1 to 10 mV) of positive feedback (hys-
teresis) 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 oscilla-
tions 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 neg-
ative 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 VDC to 30 VDC.
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 pre-
vent the input voltages from going negative more than −0.3
VDC (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 V+)
and the β of 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 ap-
proximately 60Ω RSAT 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.

TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
