Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the LM393?

Yes. The symbol is Comparator:LM393 and the footprint Package_SO:SOP-8_3.76x4.96mm_P1.27mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the LM393?

SOP-8, with 8 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the LM393 datasheet?

MSKSEMI publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the LM393?

JLCPCB lists it as part C5252905, with 68,211 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the LM393?

Parts like it in the library: the LM2903DR by UMW, the LM393ADR by UMW, the LM393DRG by HANSCHIP semiconductor and the LM393 by IDCHIP. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the LM393?

386 boards in 295 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
