If the sensor voltage rises above your threshold, the output pin instantly changes state. What makes the LM393 incredibly popular among circuit designers is its \"open-collector\" output stage. Instead of forcing a specific output voltage, it acts as an electronic switch to ground. By adding a simple pull-up resistor to the output, you can have this chip trigger a 3.3-Volt Raspberry Pi, a 5-Volt Arduino, or a 12-Volt industrial relay array, making it the ultimate logic-level translator. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Functional Advantages\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" id=\"p-rc_e2d66674f26ce1f7-593\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-498\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-498\"\u003eDual Independent Channels:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-498 citation-end-498\"\u003e Contains two separate comparators in one tiny package, allowing you to monitor two different sensors or create complex upper-and-lower \"window\" limits.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOpen-Collector Output:\u003c\/b\u003e The output does not supply its own voltage; instead, it pulls down to ground.
