LND393
Dual Differential Comparators
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LND393 consists of two independent
precision voltage comparators with an offset
voltage specification as low as 2.0 mV max for
two comparators. They are specifically
designed to operate from a single power supply
over a wide range of voltages. In addition, the
comparators have the unique ability in that the
input common-mode voltage range includes
ground, while operated from a single power
supply voltage. Operation from split power
supplies is also possible and the low power
supply current drain is independent of the
magnitude of the power supply voltage.
Application areas include limit comparators,
simple analog to digital converters, pulse,
squarewave and time delay generators: wide
range VCO, MOS clock timers, multi-vibrators
and high voltage digital logic gates. The
LND393 was designed to directly interface with
TTL and CMOS. When the LND393 is operated
from both plus and minus power supplies, it will
directly interface with MOS logic where their low
power drain is a distinct advantage over
standard comparators.

Range
*Full range (MIN to Max), for the LND393 is 0°C to 70°C. All characteristics are measured with zero common-mode
input voltage unless otherwise specified.
**The voltage at either input or common-mode should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper
end of the common-mode voltage range is V
–1.5V, but either or both inputs can go to 30V without damage.
