Description
Product Overview
The LM339N series is a classic low‑power quad voltage comparator designed for reliable operation in a wide range of industrial and scientific environments. Each of the four comparators within the IC can monitor voltage levels up to 36 V, providing open‑collector outputs that allow easy interfacing with digital logic, microcontrollers, and other downstream circuitry. Packaged in a standard 14‑pin DIP (DIP‑14) format, the device fits seamlessly into existing breadboards, prototype boards, and production‑grade PCBs, reducing the need for custom footprints or additional adapters.
Key specifications include a typical supply current of just 1 mA per comparator, a response time measured in microseconds, and a wide input voltage range that accommodates both single‑supply and dual‑supply configurations. The internal architecture features a differential input stage that ensures high accuracy even when operating near the supply rails, making the LM339N an excellent choice for precision sensor interfaces, power‑monitoring modules, and safety‑critical control loops. The device’s robust construction tolerates temperature variations from –40 °C to +85 °C, guaranteeing stable performance in harsh industrial settings.
The 5‑piece lot provides engineers with immediate redundancy for testing, development, and small‑scale production runs. Each unit is individually inspected for compliance with the original manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring that you receive components that meet the exacting standards required for high‑reliability applications. The compact dimensions of the package—2.76 × 1.97 × 0.16 inches—allow for dense board layouts while maintaining adequate thermal dissipation.

Usage
The LM339N comparators excel in scenarios where voltage thresholds must be detected quickly and accurately. Typical use cases include monitoring battery voltage levels in renewable energy systems, detecting over‑current conditions in motor drives, and providing reference signals for analog‑to‑digital converters in data acquisition systems. Because the outputs are open‑collector, designers can easily pull the line high with an external resistor, enabling flexible voltage level translation and interfacing with a variety of logic families, from TTL to CMOS.
In sensor applications, the LM339N can be paired with thermistors, photoresistors, or pressure transducers to create precise threshold‑based alarms. For power‑monitoring circuits, the device can compare sensed voltage against a reference to trigger protective shutdowns or to signal a microcontroller for corrective action. Its low quiescent current makes it suitable for battery‑powered devices where power efficiency is paramount, while the wide operating temperature range ensures reliable operation in outdoor or industrial environments.
The DIP‑14 footprint simplifies integration into both prototype and production environments. Engineers can quickly populate the IC on a solderless breadboard for rapid testing, then transition to a custom PCB without redesigning the component layout. This flexibility shortens development cycles and reduces overall project costs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM339N can handle?
The LM339N comparators can tolerate input voltages up to 36 V, making them suitable for a broad range of power‑monitoring and sensor applications.
Can the LM339N be used with a single power supply?
Yes, the device operates correctly with a single‑supply configuration, typically ranging from 2 V to 36 V, simplifying circuit design for many low‑power applications.
How do I connect the open‑collector outputs to a microcontroller?
Connect a pull‑up resistor (commonly 10 kΩ) from the output pin to the desired logic high voltage. The comparator will pull the line low when the input condition is met, allowing the microcontroller to read a clear high/low signal.
Is the 5‑piece set suitable for large production runs?
The set is intended for prototyping, testing, and small‑volume production. For larger quantities, we recommend ordering bulk packs directly from the manufacturer to benefit from volume pricing and supply chain efficiencies.
What warranty or guarantee do you provide?
All units are covered by a 30‑day warranty against defects and damage incurred during shipping. If a part does not meet the advertised specifications, we will arrange a replacement or refund according to our return policy.
