General-purpose comparators: wide-supply open-drain and LM339 second source
Jarwey 1 2026-09-07 10:15:22
COSINE general-purpose comparators cover automotive, industrial, sensor, and consumer designs that need 2.5–36 V open-drain multi-channel thresholds. For low-voltage high-speed / low-power / nano-power splits, use the other comparator family notes published alongside this one.
Datasheets from Jarwey. LM339 / LM2903 / LM393 are common second-source evaluation anchors—verify before lock-in.
Product features
Low offset, low latency, speed/power balance, wide supply range.
Applications (vendor-stated)
Automotive · industrial · sensors · consumer electronics.

Also listed: COS331 (1 ch), COS339 (4 ch).
Checklist before freeze
- Rail: do you need up to 36 V?
- Channel count: dual COS393 / LM2903SR vs quad LM339SR.
- Open-drain pull-up: resistor, level, EMC.
- Speed tier: if 67 ns is not enough, move to HS/LP families instead of forcing this tier.
- Samples: request datasheet and samples from Jarwey.
