description
These devices consist of four independent voltage comparators that are designed to operate from a single
power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from dual supplies also is possible as long as the
difference between the two supplies is 2 V to 36 V and VCC is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input
common-mode voltage. Current drain is independent of the supply voltage. The outputs can be connected to
other open-collector outputs to achieve wired-AND relationships.
The LM139 and LM139A are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C
to 125°C. The LM239 and LM239A are characterized for operation from –25°C to 125°C. The LM339 and
LM339A are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The LM2901 is characterized for operation from
–40°C to 125°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only , and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may af fect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. All voltage values, except differential voltages, are with respect to network ground.
2. Differential voltages are at IN+ with respect to IN.
3. Short circuits from outputs to VCC can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction.
4. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.
