lm393 pinout

The LM393 is a dual voltage comparator integrated circuit that comes in an 8-pin package. It is designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. The LM393 features two independent comparators with open-collector outputs, which can interface with a variety of devices such as logic gates, switches, and relays. Each comparator has differential inputs and a grounded reference. The open-drain output can drive loads up to 15mA and is capable of withstanding a maximum reverse voltage of 18V. The LM393 is a popular choice for applications requiring accurate and reliable voltage comparisons, such as in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. Its wide operating voltage range, low power consumption, and high-speed performance make it a versatile and cost-effective solution for voltage comparison needs.
